I occasionally fish bass tourneys with my uncle. I have seen solo guys stick them 20ft glass boats n the water fast enough to slide off the trailer and ease the boat clear for other boats to launch and then they park their truck and bum a ride out to their boat that is out there floating by itself, pretty cool stuff. I launch a lot by myself. I dont get n no hurry and if I see anybody launching solo I offer to help. The way I launch my 15 42 is back the trailer far enough n that the back is floating and my front winch strap is still attached. I get out un strap get n the boat and motor away from the ramp. When I load I do the same thing, run the boat up on the trailer, hook my strap and pull out.
