Default Another Trailer Consideration

Like I said lots of opinions. Another consideration for a trailer is the anticipated ramps. All the Fla ramps I used had a dock alongside. Not so on SC lakes I use, which have a dock nearby, but not adjacent. So instead of guiding the boat onto the trailer with docklines, my wife had to learn to drive onto the Hitchhiker float on type trailer. I pull out about 5’ of winch strap at which point the stern is still floating and the boat load is fwd/over the trailer axles. An advantage with having the dock not next to the ramp is faster cycling of the ramp.
