My how times change! Used to be the bottom rack was fought over, a big
prize for ease of loading! I recommend spraying the area where your boat
will be stored with Roundup, then you will have a season with no weed
issues! And loading to a bottom rack by oneself is a breeze, particularly
with a dolly.
Actually, the ladder method works pretty well. Just takes patience, care,
planning, and balance. It helps to be tall ...

Actually, I was wrong, the racks are horizontal, so it's much easier to
get a boat on and off with one person. Better yet, people don't like to
use the lowest racks because of the weeds growing there, so I could use
those.
As for upper racks... I remember seeing some pictures in the Sunfish Bible
showing how to get a Sunfish on the roof of a car singlehandedly. The
person used a ladder, rested the bow on that, then brought the stern up to
the car top, and then finally the bow up to the roof. I don't think I'd
try it. :)
