Just some thoughts from my perspective, Yes I do have a boat actually two. No I dont know how to launch and retrieve worth a darn when alone. I try real hard to get it down but so far still suck IMO.
Having to listen to the snide remarks and down right rudeness of folks in the know does not help one bit. I always offer to lend a hand to folks who are struggling with things on the ramp.
Now that I am retired I plan to go to the ramp on some weekdays to practice alone without the peanut gallery.
I back down just fine ( former truck driver ) the rest of the stuff is what I struggle with . Except the plug ! So far I havent forgotten the plug!
Frustrating at times considering that my cabin cruiser is a whole whooping 14'6" and the other is smaller.
Have some mercy on the new guys.
