Be careful in Florida State Parks if you drive your boat on to your trailer, and then have someone hook it and then pull it up the ramp out of the way.

It is against the law in Florida to pull the boat up the ramp once it's on the trailer if there is anyone remaining in the boat.

I got a ticket for this in '05 at St. George Island State Park, and I took it to court to fight it and lost. You cannot even MOVE the trailer if someone is in the boat on the trailer. Stupid ticket only cost me $75, but I was hit with over $100 in court costs.

It seems a boat ramp in a state park is considered a "state roadway".
