We launch our Rhodes 22 from our trailer. The trailer has a 10 foot extension that slides in and out. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to unhitch, extend, re-hitch. It makes launching and retrieving a breeze. The trailer has some 'guide' bunks that can be used with the centerboard to help guide the boat onto the trailer. I've always hopped in the water and walked the boat onto the trailer, but I know people who have driven the boat on the trailer like the bass boat boys do. The Rhodes 22 is about 3000 lbs, draft board up is 20", board down about 4'.
