Darin,
Yes, I launched it on 12/23, I posted some pictures in my Boat Project Gallery:

It worked OK. The boat seemed a little high so I had to back pretty far into the water. I think I just need to figure out the right depth. It sat high before so I made some minor mods to it to lower the bunk boards. I also put bigger tires on it so that will lift it up.
Over all it was a successful one man launch, I was lucky in that the launch ramp was empty and I could play around with it for a while. Next time I want to try to drive it on the trailer under power, this time I just walked to in and wenched it up.
The trailer doesn't come with a wench so I had to add one on. If you live in the Central Coast area you're welcome to come over and take a look at it some time.
