I've used the same trailer for over 26 years and have gradually refined and improved it's adjustment and usage. I normally load and unload all by myself, no other help required. Here's a slide show of the results at local village ramp I normally use.

One note of caution: When using a trailer of this type, ALWAYS put a chock behind all 4 wheels when loading! (OK to only chock rear wheels when unloading unless it's a really steep ramp.) Reason is that it's not a tilt trailer, and there is a point during loading that ALL the weight of the boat is on the rear X-member, which will lift the rear tires up onto the chocks! They will SLIDE if front tires are not also chocked! (Ask me how I know this! )
