[QUOTE="Ristorapper, post: 261682, member: 810"] The worst time I can recall as a first time launcher and loader of a boat was loading in the current in the river. Ultimately had the trailer a little too far in the water. Gave it about 6 tries and the boat kept floating away down current with the bow up on the front rollers. Pulled the trailer out a little bit and no problem. Went and bought some boat guides, roller style; that'll fix that i figured. Don't need 'em if you back the trailer in just right. Took 'em off and sold 'em. One lesson learned for a first time boat buyer. Of course loading in a lake, no wind no current easy peasy. Another big piece of advice is get as efficient as possible at the launch so you are not holding anyone else up. People can get excited. OR if you are not quite good enough at it yet, wave the guy behind you to go ahead of you. I fished a bunch all by myself and would let those with two or more in the boat go ahead of me. Funny! In most cases I could load/unload as fast as most. Just took me a little extra time to get the rig down to the landing. good luck and good fishing [/QUOTE]
