All that is easier than pulling up to a dock, and tossing someone the key???
Maybe, but I don't see it.

I trailer mine all the time. We have it down to a science and it's very easy. I love to tinker and I love a spotless boat, so having it on the trailer and mere feet from my house makes it perfect for my needs. My boat is 11 years old and looks nearly new.
I also like to boat on the ocean, on rivers and on lakes other than Winnipesaukee, so the flexibility of the trailer makes that a piece of cake. I can be on the ocean in <30 minutes, on Winni in <1 hour or on the Hudson River and headed to NYC or Lake Champlain (a planned trip) in <4 hours.
