Hey, the bolt on step for the front of the trailer is priceless. Adjust to anywhere you like, and a grippy rubber mat on it that don't slip.
One day I will move up to the ladder step thingy for the front of the trailer. As age marches on, resistance is futile.
Till then, I wear some grippy soled shoes when out on the boat, I hear what He is saying about "Walking the rail".
What you DON'T want is what I call "Doing the Dick Van Dyke"!

The 2x8 is more what I'm looking for. When I nose into bunks, I'm still several feet from winch. The 24 inch platform mentioned isn't anywhere close to long enough.

Just and idea - would a lower dropped hitch help your situation?
If your trailer rear end is way down in the water at the launch, a lower hitch would raise the rear some, and drop the front some.
Just an idea...

Oh well. Around here, the ramp angles vary greatly. Where I mostly launch, it drops off quickly, and if you don't have poles on the end of the trailer, the back of the boat moves around a good bit before you can pull out. I installed uprights on my trailer just for that. Another ramp I go to I have to back down till the truck tires are at the water to be able to launch. Many folks power launch there and blow out craters at the end of the ramp where pontoon trailers often back off into the holes. Ugh...
