We keep our boat on a lift right across ffrom a busy public ramp...
I'd pay double what I pay now if they wanted just for the continuing entertainment the best spot at the Marina offers! Hell we go in early and break out the lawn chairs now-days...
Never a dull moment at the ramp!

I have left one or both drives in gear at idle long enough to go up and hook the winch strap. Then gone back, and killed the motors, trimmed the drives out, and winched the boat the rest of the way up.
This guy was at at-least 2500 rpm. As he winched the boat up the trailer he was putting the prop deeper into the water, effectively giving it more bite. This ramp is literally at the outer apex of a narrow U-turn in the river; with a lot of boat traffic. One wrongly timed wave, and that boat would have been on the roof of his truck; with the prop still spinning.
I did not want to be anywhere this dude; much less his trailer hitch.

I launch my boat every time, and see some amazing things, I have waited behind people, they move to the dock, I move to the next open dock, launch , park my rig, start the engines pull away before they even launch the boat?? Is it that hard?
I love to watch people with roller bunks, I just know the skeg repair is about the 5th ones they've paid for
