Default Launching in the Fort Myers area

Thought I'd check here for some launching advice. We sold our 38 Top Gun a CPL years ago. We used to ramp it in & out at Wiggins Pass & Punta rassa. The trailer would definitely scrape when launching & pulling the boat out. We recently bought a Fountain 47 SC & we're
​​​​not sure we can ramp it at either place or possibly the lovers key ramp which appears to have a less steep angle of attack. Any local advice ? Thanks in advance. Harold.

Rosen park in Cape Coral has some of the best ramps around. Close to the river but in a canal. You have a little river running to get to gulf but it’s not bad. About 30 mins from Rosen park to the gulf.

Thank you for the suggestion Crude Intentions.
I'll tell the wife we are taking a romantic ride to see a boat ramp tonight. 😄

She will love it. They have picnic tables too. Get her to make a sandwich and tell her you’re going on a picnic. Haha
