Depends on how shallow your ramp is.
Edited 5/29: Our's is fairly shallow, even at summer pool. We hauled our C-25 yesterday using a tandem axle trailer for a J-24. I was nervous and apprehensive, but it worked. We only had to move it about 1/2 mile to the repair yard. Anyway, I had bought a 20' strap with a loop on both ends (15,000 lb breaking strength) and the guy helping me said it might not be long enough for our ramp. We borrowed the Northstar 500 fleet's 50 ft. steel cable. The trailer stopped in the water with about 20' of cable left. The extension on the trailer as well as my strap were too short for the job.
