steep ramp, hard to float on and when low tide you run out of ramp & always have to crank it on.
Also, I can paint bottom while on trailer , roll it back 2 feet to get under rollers. Can't do that with bunks. This trailer BIG improvement as far as getting under to paint.

On trailer in the winter, covered up in a field, paint in spring, launch & in water all summer.
I guess you guys in the south don't get the concept of putting it away for the winter... ;)

now i see, makes sense.
we do winterize, usually means throwing a hoodie in the cabin.
it's the leaving it in the water that would drive me crazy. i would worry all night long and get up and go check on it every 30 minutes. i've left mine in the water in the keys for 2 weeks and never sleep good the whole time i'm there.

When I've left my Monte Carlo in the water I insured it for enough that I HOPED it would sink or get stolen.....
