[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 145217, member: 1931"] When by myself I get the boat ready in the area to the side of the ramp so as not to get in anyone's way. I attach a rope to the front of the boat and run it through my window. I back in and hang on to the rope and once the boat has started to float off I pull forward just a bit and stop on the ramp and put the E brake on. Then I climb out and move the boat to the dock or to the bank (shore) depending on which is closer. Then I move my rig. To load it after fishing I again beach it or tie it to the dock. I back my rig in until the fenders on the trailer are just sticking out of the water. Then I apply the E brake and get in the boat. I usually like to disconnect my fuel at this point so it will run completely out by the time I am loaded. I make a wide circle and run in towards the trailer. Once inside the side guides I gun the motor and power load until the front of the boat is at the bow stop. I then walk forward and attach the strap and cinch it down. Meanwhile the motor is still running and should just about be out of fuel and die. (now I don't have to worry about the fuel gumming up the carb's later) Now I jump out and pull the rig out. This works for me and I have been doing this for almost 20 years. [/QUOTE]
