Anybody launching a boat with a Class A?
I was towing and launching my boat, which weighs about 6,500 pounds on the trailer, with a crew cab dually hauling an 11' TC. We sold the TC after our third child was born because it was just too smal...

I don't see the rear overhang as an issue...as the ramp drops off, it will simply go out into the air.
The issues would be:
- With the rear overhang high above the pavement, will it raise the front of the trailer high enough that the outboard bottoms out.
- Particularly for a Class A, will the change in slope be great enough that the frame between the axles will bottom out.
Unless it's an extreme overhang, I'm betting most ramps won't be an issue and you can always raise the motor to gain a bit of leeway.
As mentioned, a big turning radius may be more of an issue at smaller ramps.
