Trailer to bow ladder for V20 Sport Fish

Also I want to start motor before disconnecting from trailer so the back and forth to the tongue can be easier to do.
Last of all want to avoid gymnastics.

I launch my Jon boat in the fashion as you described using a rope etc.
It hits rocks etc but is light and can be pushed off with a paddle.

Gotcha.. It's funny, up here in the artic circle we mostly have launch ramps, so I never think about launching my boat without one. Your solution makes a lot of sense. Thanks for teaching an old dog a new trick.

Guess I'll add that I'm also retired and a 100% DAV.
So I do have problems with some task.
My son can hop up there. when he goes with me. But I needed a way for me.

I never fish alone any more so its great driving on and off!!

But I will never forget the day I slipped off the bow and bent the bow rail trying to hold on!!

Steps look sweet. I think about building some for about 10-15 seconds everytime I launch the V and have to do the ol' winch post climbing routine.

Awesome idea! I could even use those on my 18. May do that!
