Big Shrimpin' ..........Glad you can do that at your ramp, but momentum and pulling with greater force would tear the trailer apart since this ( and many) ramps have a sharp, nearly vertical drop. The tidal pull tends to " clean out" the bottom just beyond the concrete ramp which forms this shear drop off. The tires drop down and " lock in" behind the drop off. The buoyancy with anchor pull results in no damage so works if this happens and there's a finger dock to work from.....
