It could easily take an additional 5 hours to load the boats.I am always amazed at the inconveniences my northern brothers are willing to tolerate in the name of so called "progress". Considering how heavily taxed you guys are, up there, the state should be providing valet boat launches and loading at the ramp. Hell, the state should also thrown in at least one free fill up year, just for your continued support of "progress".
    We put up with it because we get to live in Michigan...Well worth the inconvenience of winching the boat on the trailer...
    In our neck of the woods we have enough room to put 10-15 boats on a trailer at a time so your math doesn't quite work out....Maybe you southern boys only load one boat at a time...but that isn't the way we roll..
    Our Coanglers are better truck drivers so we make up the difference there..lol
    Cost me 11 dollars a year to launch my boat at all the DNR launches plus free access to all state owned campgrounds and parks...How much do you pay??
    I see more and more out of state plates in Michigan every year....It's pretty obvious alot of guys from the South think it's worth the inconvenience..
