All I had to do was touch the brakes and the boat would slide right in and I'd drive away. Total launch time under two minutes.
But if you want to be really quick (30 seconds) and not tie up the dock at the ramp you disconnect the boat and have someone in the boat who starts the boat as you are backing, and puts it in reverse as soon as the stern hits the water. No bow line needed. That requires two people with at least a little talent.
