We were lucky
Looking back when we bought our boat, an absolutely fabulous thing happened. Now I realize it was not an accident. We had only rented previously and the entire ramp thing was an unknown territory. We purchased the boat at Winnisquam marina and when we took delivery of it the salesman took the time to show us how to correctly trailer the boat and showed us how to launch it. He showed us how to safely get the boat off and then back on the trailer. He then had us do it ourselves under his expert supervision.
I did not realize how valuable this lesson was until I saw the newbies that struggle with the process.
We started off much further down the learning curve. Nothing beats experience.
