It's such a light boat that even the little wind yesterday pushed it sideways on the ramp. Next time, I'm going to walk it over to the dock and tie up while I park. There's a learning curve, and I'll get there quickly.LOL, we were wondering why you left the boat on the ramp but figured it was because Larry was right by the dock. Try taking along a 50 to 100 ft rope, that way you can easily get the boat around someone and to the dock, with little to no problem. When I launch by myself, I tie a rope to the nose tie down eye, coil up the rope in the back of the vehicle, then tie it to something so it doesn't follow the boat out into the water. Then back the boat into the water deep enough so it float free of the trailer. After the boat is off the trailer, I pull up the vehicle up enough to get the rope untied and walk it over to the dock, then tie it off.
