I have a bunk trailer for my fresh water boat. I put on hip boots get right in and launch most effective way to do it save the embarrassment of balancing on trailer trying to push the boat off. Gup by the way I知 in your neck of the woods for the week if you wanna grab a beer

Ray, my boat , same one you have was always on bunks. No issues other than I always wore waders to launch.

I just kept an old pair of Graylites in the truck.

No boat, back in the suds.

I use that same setup....rope from the winch post to sampson post on the bow...works fine. I wear self draining water shoes instead of boots for when i need to enter the water.
