That looks like the ramp in the Ozarks that we launced at. Very steep. Is that a problem with tractor rigs slipping back like that? Did you try having the boat running push the whole rig out?

Steep wasn't the problem, the trailer dropped off the end of the ramp and the drive tires were wet. It is going to be fun for them to find ramps long enough for the 55.

The USCG guys happened to be doing a training exercise at the time, and they were smiling from ear to ear

Not good, very heavy on the front axle and ok on the rear with a fully loaded race trailer, however a boat trailer is not going to put any significant weight on the rear axle. Besides that, toter's have lousy turning circle, not much use for anything except pulling a race trailer and getting to write off as a second home etc.
I would be very afraid of backing that particular one down any boat ramp.

That 55 MTI is seriously impressive! Congrats to the owner.
