handicapped access to boats

My wife and I have enjoyed boating for many years. Unfortunately, my wife has various medical problems now and has difficulty walking and climbing. She can no longer climb down from a dock into a boat. However, she can climb a few steps and walk a short distance.

I thought perhaps, if I could find a way, she could get in the boat on the launching ramp before actually launching. That way there would be a stable target to reach.

However, on the trailer, the side of the boat is close to 4' high.

I sure hope someout there has experience in solving this problem or is great in coming up with a good idea. Perhaps there is something that I could carry in the back of the pickup that would work?

We would both be might disappointed if her boating days are over.

thanks

Alan
