I seldom use a gravel ramp but did think about adding a step or cat walk. I have to wade thru a few inches of water anyway to even get to the trailer tongue. I figured I would just use rubber boots and wade a few more steps to the winch. I keep a heavy duty pair from the hardware store in the truck. You know like you would use for concrete work. I think I paid $25 for a pair of size 13's.
But if gravel ramp & no dock means you have to drive your boat onto the trailer then I would be all over adding a step!
Thanks for the reply. You know, I've been thinking of buying a pair or boots as well. There's a ramp or two that I've been to that are very shallow and my truck's exhaust pipe ends up blowing bubbles in the water haha. The boots may be a better way to go. I know the exact type you are talking about, something cheap that keeps the water out that you can quickly put on to load the boat.
