Default Video of using up ALL of the runway on a wet aero tow

This was my first time taking off with a decent amount of water (30
gallons) in my 27B at Cedar Valley, Utah. We normally take off to the
south with a longer runway but the winds from a storm shifted the
winds to the northeast (quartering crosswind). I told the tow pilot to
hold the 182 on the ground to build up as much speed as possible. He
did what I asked!

Wasn't even close to being a problem - we had at least 5 feet cleared
over the ditch at the end of the runway. All kidding aside, had
there been an issue of not being able to take off at the end either
one of us could have released the rope causing him to take off and me
to land in the field straight ahead so it wasn't that big of a deal
but is exciting to watch.

Thanks for watching and commenting.
