If you have to go any distance this aspect of it really sux. It adds a lot of non-fishing related stress that takes way from the positive boating/fishing experience. I don't have to go far but when i have been off island with my boat ( only a few times) I have experienced the same thing. I could not believe the moves people were pulling when I passed over the CC canel bridge. It was down right stupid and I have to say I was frightened then pissed. Along the highway at speed, people got so close to my boat I could not see them in my mirrors. I should have posted a sign...Back OFF! this thing doesn't stop on a dime. I don't think that people understand that that boat weighs 2-3X what the vehicle does. If you live a short drive from the ramp and you can avoid all this BS it takes a lot of stress ot of trailiering. But IMO if you can A) find a good slip and b) afford it, it is real nice.
But a few guys I know really like to trailer it, they like to see their boat in their yard too. I don't like seeing it in the yard...too much crap blows into it. Also, I think it depends on the size of your boat too.
