Don't overthink it. My trailer has a sweetspot that works 90% of the time. I back down until the water just covers my deepest running boards. The only time this doesn't work is if the ramp has a steep dropoff at the waters edge. Then I may have to back down a little further. Next I load the boat, tighten the winch, and climb on the trailer tounge and hop in the bed of my truck. Then out on the pavement. When I first got a boat launching and loading terrified me. Now I'd say I'm almost as fast as 2 people.
