Some times if you put the boat trailer down too far/deep on the ramp the boat won't sit right on the boat trailer.

I've seen some guys throw a rooster tail out the back of the motor trying to get their big boat back on the trailer several times. They have the boat trailer too deep in the water and therefore the nose of the boat won't fit into the boat trailer right. There is a video on this site that was posted recently about how to properly launch and recover their boat.
I throw a rooster tail regularly when power loading. Trimming up does a couple things: one, it pushes the bow up further to clear the bow roller easier, which allows for less power needed to get the bow eye to the bow roller. Secondly, it keeps my prop from hitting anything, such as the idiots who throw rocks onto the ramp. Furthermore, you should be happy and smiling when you see us rooster-tail powerloaders, since there is no prop wash blowing out those crappy ramps. Maybe they should fix the ramps so this doesn't happen.

There are lots of correct ways to launch and trailer a boat depending upon the ramp and the circumstances.
