When you guys launched the boat did you just manhandle it off the trailer,or what?Just a little curious in case I want to give it a shot.I am in the market for a new OB first.

YES
 

I push the boat & trailer out to knee deep by hand and it floats off.
Then i spin the boats nose straight into the surf and drop the anchor.
not to fare out if there bigger waves, in shallow. If there small the same.
Be safe and land the big one.. See you out there...

Cool...

I am engine shopping...
