Im not entirely sure what you mean by launching it, you mean from a trailer? if so then no, a boat should never be started when it is out of water unless you really know what you are doing, 85% of boats need the lake/river/sea water for cooling the engine. there are some boats that have a closed cooling system that can handle the cooling for a small amount of time but it will eventually need lakewater.
