How about a removable ramp with rollers from your transom to hard top...buy a $59 badlands ATV winch from harbor freight to make it easier.

I have seen it done for other boars, trucks with campers and RVs...no reason a couple reinforced 2x6s with rollers and guides to keep her on track couldn't be fabricated and stored alongside the dingy once up...

Just thinking outside the box....
