Not sure if it's still available... I've seen the shallow water assist option on empty Ranger trailers in parking lots threw the years though. It's a separate winch system that controls a couple of rollers that lift up the center of the boat to help float it off, and then lower it back on the trailer bunks.


The separate winch system was what I remember. The launch I was volunteering at is not great in the best of times, and was really a challenge during the drought but that guy was able to launch a heavy glass boat more easily than others with lighter aluminum. Township I live in would like to get a better launch but location and money are just too big a hurdle. The cost of a simple one dock landing that was discussed last year was way beyond what I would have expected.
