I saw a comment about it in the Heartland Boating email I got today. Sounded interesting for somebody like me that does a lot of loading/unloading by myself.

I can see lots going wrong with that...
It it really that hard to launch the normal way??? Now I will say this, my jetski is more a pain than the 280DA.

I also see number of things I don't like. One of them is the handle spinning like creazy with huge chance of hitting the boat is the angle is slightly off (unfortunatelly, I had this happened once years ago). As the boat get off/on trailer, the bow's level is changing, so spinning handle has a very good chance of hitting the boat.

Looks pretty cool to me.
Only issue would be the size of our boats
Q: WHAT SIZE BOAT WILL THIS SYSTEM FIT?
A: The Rope-A-Boat system will fit on any size boat. Our standard packages will handle boat sizes from 14ft to 20ft in length. Boat sizes from 22ft and above require a system custom-built for your application, please contact our Engineering Department with your request.

It takes about 5 minutes total time to load or unload a boat onto/off of a trailer.
I dont need no stinkin' contraptions.

That depends.
Yes I agree for a smaller/lighter boat at your normal location no big deal. Would come in handy when launching/retiring single handed in some of the crazy places I've been.
Just not sure how it would work on our bigger/heaver boats.
