Trimming up makes good sense in that it protects the prop from those rocks.

Guys that go out in their boats a lot are much better and getting their boat onto the boat trailer than others. The more you practice and figure out the easy way to get the boat back on the trailer the better off everyone else will be.

The trailer is at the right depth. You see, some bass boats cannot just "glide" up to the bow roller, unless the trailer is too far in the water. If the trailer is too far in the water, the boat can then ride over the bunks, onto the fenders, etc., when you pull the boat out of the water. That isn't fun. I have had boats that I didn't need to power load on certain ramps, because I could get the bow eye to the bow roller without it. Every boat isn't the same, and neither is every ramp. Power loading is a perfectly acceptable method of trailering a boat, and if someone does it differently than you, there is probably a reason to it. They probably know their boat better than you do and the best methods to handle it.

In my mind, the issue isn't with the individuals power loading, but with the crappy facilities that we all pay for.
