re: Launching a bay boat solo - tips?

I like stairs or a ladder on the trailer to allow getting into the boat from the bow and maintaining complete control using motor. I don’t like letting the boat drift off attached by a loose bowline and risk the prop hitting a piling etc. All of my boats have the bow access stairs now and it’s awesome. Also makes getting into the boat when it’s on the trailer easy too.

Unhook everything except the bow eye. Back in til the back slightly floats. Unhook the front get in and drive it off the trailer to tie up. Been doing it this way for 50 years
