I do, at times, use the rope method. But at some ramps, there is no dock. I use 2 anchors, one at the stern and one on the bow. Bow one goes on shore but I use it as a THE pull rope.
My biggest slow down, when solo, is the motor, it runs great but man is it cold nature. It takes 5 or so minutes to warn up enough to stay running while in gear (18 year old Honda tiller). If it is crowed, i prep the depth finder and other gear, while it is still warming up while on the trailer. I prefer to do that away from the ramp, but it is "idle" time.
