how about adding another bow eye? maybe higher up so you can reach it.
sounds like you just need to get a slip and keep it in the water.

You may be right Pete, That sounds like the best way for me, just like the idea of trailering so I can hit different waters with her

you might want to consider powering up on to the trailer just enough to reach a ladder affixed to the winch post. saw a trailer with that set up and wondered how effective it was. maybe even design it to be remove after use.

going to put her in the rack again this year and then work on the trailer after, going to update it and make some changes. Maybe some way of climbing down might work.

It's not too hard to look around and find permanently mounted ladders at the winch-stand for this purpose...pretty substantial ones that go to top of bow to make it easy to step over the rail...

Either that or a slip w/a lift would be ideal...that's what I'd do...my buddy at Lake Hartwell has lifts for both his boats...easy to deploy and keeps em CLEAN...

I did look at it, looks pretty cool, they are in Fla. though so tough to check out and to get set up for your boat correctly
