Oh I trailered and went solo for decades. It was not to bad with my two V20's.
With this big Hydrsport it is a lot tougher, not as much the launch as the retrieve. If I power up the trailer I have no way to get down off of it to come and hook up the cable and winch it in the rest of the way.
The V20 I would slip down off the bow end hook up and go. Especially easy after I removed my rail from the bow.
FishBones is a good foot and a half taller with a rail and flair. With my bad knee it is too high.
Also the ramps I use are not conducive to launching and lining your boat to a pier. There are none. Atlantic Highlands is very wide and the piers are out and away from the concrete launch.
Keyport is like launching down a muddy tunnel with no piers and high walls on both sides, also narrow.
Both ramps require you to launch, start the motor and back off and pull back and come around to a pier away from the actual ramp.
