Thread: Looking for opinions

i do the same as cowboy and there is no problem what so ever. my rope is about thirty feet long and i tie it to the winch handle when unloading. if you take it real easy and just float your boat off and wait til the slack is out you can ease up enough to get out and gently pull your boat to shore. it is the loading that can get tricky and dangerous if you walk the plank to hook up and crank it on trailer. in the summer time i just wade out there and get it. winter time calls for my knee high snake boots on the lakes i fish, maybe hip boots if you don't have a very good ramp...........
