I usually do just go alone, or with Littlegirl. [it is set up to actually run and handle better with 2 people on board]
that's why I have the smaller boat, when I had the big v-hull and later the tri-hull with 150 hp type engines nobody would go with me and they were a super royal pain to load and unload from the trailer by myself.
[it was actually easier for me to run the air boat by myself than either one of them]
this one I can just back in close to the dock and bump it off the trailer with the truck brakes grab the rope I have looped on the tie down on the bed of the truck and tie it off to the dock and go park the truck.
when it's time to go I just guide it on the trailer with the tie down ropes, pull it tight with the winch rope on the trailer and drag it out of the lake by myself in about 4-5 minutes.
I'm not so sure about taking the dog out on the boat just yet, she can't sit still long enough to be cooped up in that small of an area without causing all kinds of problems, but she is a whole lot faster at getting in and out of the truck when I take her down shore fishing.
