Self load on to roller trailer

[ProfessorM]

Are you talking about having a dock that runs along the ramp or no dock? The ramps I use have a dock entire length of the ramp so it is really simple to get boat on and off the trailer. In fact I prefer to do it myself when people offer to help. I just make sure I don't back too far into water. Once the hook is on, it's good. No dock I got nutin for you.

Yes,,, power launch, tie up, park the truck
Return
Tie up, dunk trailer, power on, connect strap, shut down, climb over bow to truck, go have a couple beers!

no dock. Well no dock running along the ramp.

the majority of places i launch don't have a dock next to the ramp. A couple do, like barn island in CT, and that is a breeze.

but most don't, like my main three, Galilee RI, East Greenwich RI & Wickford RI. they have docks, but they are extended out, and away. no help in launch/retrieve. Just somewhere to tie the boat when you go get the truck.
