It's the timing part we had troubles with. It was a crappy boat launch, no where to tie the boat to... the high winds pushed it sideways towards the ramp. The second attempt I think we did it right and started it while still hooked up to the trailer.

Then the whole manatee zone no wake thing... but it was like 2 ft chop so I'm not sure that matters. Oh well, we'll try again tomorrow.
I made extra sure the drain plugs were in! The dealer stressed that way too much... apparently if you sink your boat because you forgot the drain plugs, it's not covered under warranty.
