[QUOTE="Blackdogxx, post: 279252, member: 9731"] Apparently not many read the post I made: I do not want to wade in the water at all and the trailer extension is 5' and collapsable for towing. The car is a little Corolla and the ramp has a shallow ANGLE, so the 2 things make a problem getting deep enough to keep the tailpipe and rear wheel axle out of the water. I built a possible solution to top the length of the tongue: a 6" board attached with 'L' brackets that align and fasten the board to the top of the tongue firmly. Then I will walk out on it to retrieve the boat at the pier. Launch is not a problem, only retrieving (access to the winch hook for the front of the boat and getting the boat up on the bunks). Thanks for the replies that addressed the situation after reading my post. [/QUOTE]
