Great job, but...

I always hand pulled my Parkers partway up the trailer and then used the
winch to crank it the rest of the way, even the 25' cabin Parker, which
was about 32' long from outboards to anchor pulpit. I figured it was
easier on the boat that way.

That's some trailer. I'll bet it floats sideways in a really strong
current.

And yes, that crew made it look easy, which reminds me of the old
one-liner...

"How do you get to Carnegie Hall?"

"Practice, practice, practice."
