2.) Have seen this more than once, don't forget to take your tie down strap off the boat and trailor. Makes it easier to get the boat off the trailer when in the water.

3. oh yeah and take the vechicle out of reverse when you are releasing the boat. Don't need the vechicle to go for a swim.

AND....
4. make sure the drain plug is in before launching..Boats float better with the water outside the hull.
