you're right
Yep...all good points I had not thought of. The most obvious being that many people use their boats in other bodies of water during the summer.
I guess, to be homest, I have never trailored/launched a boat, and don't have the 1st idea of how to do it. What I have done, however, is enjoyed a Bloody Mary at the Meredith Town Docks, watching non-stop entertainment that is people launching their boats. Wow...it seems at least half (1 out of every 2) ends in some type of shouting match...one of favorites is when the husband pulls away to go park the truck, and the wife has a very difficult time moving the boat out of the way for the next person, and docking in a very tight space. Creates huge stress. Now, understand, I am not making fun of these people...I myself would not have a clue about proper launching procedure. But would like to think I would ask/learn/practice, and eventually get it down. But so many people seem to turn it into a adventure.
Valet works well for me...but truth be told, I've never done it any other way.
