I never load or unload my boat alone. But that sounds like a great way to do it.
I dont mind towing my boat, after you tow a big camper or enclosed trailer around for years a boat seems easy.
But it is dangerous, I see people towing all the time with too small of a vehicle or not enough tongue weight or reciever wrong. I always go with overkill for a tow vehicle if I can. Most people look for engine size to tow with but forget about suspension and brakes. I have an old jeep with a big v8, if it wouldnt spin I could tow alot but not gonna stop.
Trailer brakes are another thing. Some tandem trailers only have brakes on one axle or none. But some of you guys live where its all level. That makes a big difference.
