Yes. I meant 15 to 16 feet of ramp length not depth. I do not have a drive on type trailor. It is an old (1981 or so) holsclaw trailor. When I launch, I noticed that the tires on my vehicle almost touch the water. I measured the distance from the tires on my vehicle to the tires on my trailor and it is about 15 1/2 feet. I need to back down that far so that I can launch and load my boat properly. I have a small deckboat. It is only about 14 1/2 feet long but real heavy. I suspect that I have to back into the water farther to launch my boat than some other types of boat/trailor designs. Thanks for the responses.
