    Back through your yard? I only half joke - my drive way is equally as sharp of an angle, but I'm able to cut the angle VERY hard by letting a wheel start going up the grass in the yard first, which kicks the back up high enough (for the moment).

    If you raise the bunks, see if it's possible to only raise the back - this will cause the boat to sit a bit nose-down, however that would cause you to not-need to back too much further down the ramp. Downside is that before any highway cruising, you'd almost assuredly want to re-level the boat. My drive to the ramp is 25 mph and 2 miles in the neighborhood, so it wouldn't impact me too much.

    If you wanted to go complete badass on this, put airbags on your trailer...

        Just closing this up for reference. I ended up having Mcgills in Lewisville weld on some rollers onto the prop guard. It's pretty beefy. Probably over did it, but it's nice. Used some heavy duty Hamilton rollers. It works and protects the boat not only from my driveway, but from the rest of the neighborhood. but I still think getting some of the driveway curb ramps would make the whole system better. I also built a retention wall to further widen my driveway giving me more room to cut. Decent setup, but still working on doing the whole route in reverse. Currently pushing it up the driveway with my front-mounted hitch on the truck.
