[QUOTE="jethro, post: 463215, member: 12381"] I usually am launching a good, paved launches, but almost always solo. I have my "launching rig" which is basically a section of rope about 10 feet longer than my trailer with a caribiner/clip on one side and a big loop tied into the other. I will back the stern of my boat almost to the edge of the water, then I undo my transom straps, remove my bow strap and install the launching rig. Clip goes on the bow eye, then I coil the rope and drape it over the gunwale of the bow and drape the loop over the winch post. When I back it in and the boat starts floating, the rope pays out off the gunwale and I pull up so the trailer is out of the water. Then I get out and grab the rope off the winch post and pull it into shore or the dock or whatever. I don't think it would be any different at a launch with mud, only thing I ever change is if the launch is steep, then I will not unhook the bow strap until the boat is mostly floating. [/QUOTE]
