Well everything went pretty well. I had a weather window Saturday afternoon that looked good. I was a little rushed due to thunderstorms coming in yesterday evening and my wife showing up an hour later than she was supposed to so I didn't get any pics of the launching. we backed the trailer down to the waters edge chocked and unhooked. I attached the dolly wheel I welded to the trailer while my wife pulled the pickup forward. I hooked the cable up and had the wife pull forward to release the chocks. I climbed in the boat and she backed it in. The trailer rolled down the ramp well till it got to the sand washed up on the ramp, it hesitated a little then broke through. I'm gonna try and roll the empty trailer through it sometime this summer and see if it makes it. I had 60' of cable and needed every foot of it. we monopolized the boat ramp for about 25 minutes, there were a couple fishermen who didn't look real happy about it, but they left for a different ramp I am assuming. We even had a couple of spectators watching the whole operation. the engine started right up and the boat came off the trailer easily. I lowered the front poppet before launching but left the rest of them as they were. I want to thank everyone for the advice and making the launch a success.
