when launching do you look for a slip or do you put boat back on trailer everyday?
Back in my boating days it was case by case basis. Some of the local ramps are busy (Katherine Landing (Mohave) on busy days) or almost deserted and wide open. Even with a pickup I used to get slip at Katherine and launch early on a weekday morning-to avoid the hours long ritual on busy summer days. . Later the slips even got hard to get. Basically if I had boat now I'd stay in marina/rv park combo and get a slip. Or choose places/times where the ramps aren't busy. I didn't consider launching any problem at all on a sparsely used ramp.
One thing I used to do was launch early in the morning. Lots of recreation boaters aren't getting on the water till mid to late morning. Launch ramps can be entertaining, but after many hours in line over the years I would rather skip the busiest ones.
