Line lock for brake system

I have a 99 F250 SD 4X4 with manual transmission. I love it except when launching my boat. I have to shut it down and leave it in gear to prevent the whole rig from creeping backwards. I am considering installing a line lock to allow me to keep the engine running in neutral while on the boat ramp. Any advise as to this line of thinking? Has anyone done this modification? What product brands/models are suitable? Thanks.

The same one I have on my towtruck is on ebay. I don't remember the brand but it's red and uses a pull cable. It works great, locks all wheels. Would work much better than E-brake.

Try searching on "brakelock" - it's something I plan to install on mine, eventually. It's more of an anti-theft device, but could also be used to keep the vehicle from moving on a steep hill. From what I've read, those who have it love it.
