Re: Beaching Boat on a Ramp??
I'm not putting any boat on concrete. I'll put an aluminum fishing boat on gravel. I don't want my pontoons touching anything but sand, or dirt.

Yeah, I was trying to think of something to make launching and retrieving by myself easier. I guess I'm going to have to get that ipilot deal instead

It easy to do without touching concrete, I do it all the time, because I can get out during the week when everyone is working, so end up going with the dog

No damage. Once I had the bow on the ramp, I had someone sit on it to keep from bobbing up and down. I was sooo relieved once we got out of there. I'm not sure I would do it again, just because of the stress.C_M_25 wrote:We have corrugated concrete as well. When you pulled up on it, did it cause any damage to the toons?
