10/29/2017 10:47:13 AM!st put on some waders - take a pole to find the bottom (luckily the water is very clear) - walk away from the ramp until you find the drop-off, that
will be the point you don't want your trailer wheels to go beyond and hopefully your trailer is low enough that the boat is somewhat floating, then
you can drive it off and on the trailer - fortunately your sportsman sits pretty high in the water which should make the launch a little easier - you just
don't want you wheels to go over the drop off. It takes two to get the job done, but there were a couple of 18' sportsman and one 20' sea runner
the day we were there - and a couple of pretty heavy plastic ones too - wind will complicate the task though.

Water level and that drop-off pretty much dictate what kind of day you'll have at that so called launch area with the larger boats. Our 12 and 14 ft. boats work okay for that lake, but just not as comfortable for us old boys that need heat and shelter that we get with our larger boats. Take care and stay safe.

10/30/2017 8:10:54 AMI'm with you guys on a 12-14' boat for the smaller lakes and unimproved launch ramps - like you guys, closing in on 80 and
need /like a little more comfort these days - my fish'in buddy (wife) got new hips a few years back and can't go where there
is no dock so wind up doing a lot of fishing solo - 18' north river solo at Rock is impossible, so have been cruising craigslist
for something smaller - I used to think old age and treachery would overcome youth and exuberance, but not so sure anymore.
