Hi JB, I own a 235 but it is so new I haven't had a chance to launch it as yet. The electronics should be installed by sometime next week. I can't comment from 1st hand experience but if your launching ramp is steep enough you should be able to use the same procedure as your 215. I have some concern as my launching ramp is shallow. If you go alone you will have to power the boat off the trailer after you've climbed into the boat by using a 6 foot ladder or you may be able to back up far enough and fast enough and then slam on the brakes and hope she comes off that way. The latter not recommended as you risk getting water(I'm assuming saltwater) into your vehicles rear brakes or what happens if your brakes fail(not good). Don't forget to tie that 50 foot rope from trailer to boat. I wish for your ramp to be steep enough and my concerns are not met. Good luck if you get a 235. I think the boat is awesome and I can't wait to start fishing her this spring.
