That is exactly how I get my boat up on the trailer. However, after I power up a bit, I do not leave it in gear like he did. The jump off the bow, onto the winch post and down on to the tongue of the trailer is what I do. But I do it without even getting in the water. I just stand on the tongue, winch her up, then I can step to the bumper of my suburban, shift over to the driver's side on the bumper, swing my left leg onto the rear tire (all the while holding on to the luggage rack) and I am done. I will not do this when it is warm and I am barefoot or with flip flops, but it works well when I have shoes on and it is cold outside.
