Ramp Rules
Launch like you've done it before.
Load the boat in the staging lane, not on the ramp. Plug in, straps off, lines and fenders ready, key in your pocket. By the time you back down, the only thing left to do is float it off.
One person drives, one person holds the line. Pull the truck up and out of the way before you start fiddling with anything else. Coming back in, same thing in reverse: get it on the trailer, get it out, then strap down and clean up in the parking lot.
If somebody's struggling, help them. You were new once.
And take your trash with you, including the tangle of line somebody else left on the dock.
