So I ran across a Four Winns brochure (2004 to be exact) that shows a trailer option called a "Trailer Boarding Ladder" that mounts on the tongue of the trailer to access the bow.
See page 12 of the brochure linked here:
http://www.fourwinns.com/uploads/2017/2/Four-Winns-Deckboats-Catalog-2004.pdf

The only place I've seen this is in this brochure and I can't for the life of me find any others pictures of it anywhere on the internet either! The brochure is not that clear.
I'd love to have something like this for my trailer. I could even make a copy of it, if I can get some clear pics of it.

Has anybody else ever seen this option? Have pics of it?

I haven't seen that specific ladder, but if you search on "trailer boarding ladder" on Google, you'll come across a couple of options.
It would be handy to have - especially on some of the higher-bow boats (like my Funship).

Post pics of what you come up with!

You might look at:
https://www.easystepsystem.com

Depending on your boat and trailer, you might try adding a plate between the winch and the pad it bolts to that extends out 8 or 10 inches to the opposite side that the winch handle is on.. I did this on my '95 190. Step on the tongue then on the plate beside the winch, then into the boat.

Some of the commercially available units have a hand rail, which might be helpful as you climb in or out.

Hope this helps.
