3978, Middle River Check-In & Blast-Off
Posted by , Mon Aug-13-01 05:20 AM
Have you decided the times yet, John. And check-in too!

I have the material and the time to manufacture a couple of slide-ramps to enable lowering our boats down over the rocks with a rope. This eliminates carrying them on our backs in the dark and potential injury.The heavy guage plastic is very smooth so not to damage or mark up the pontoons. They will roll up and fit in the back of my truck easily. I'd like to know if anyone is interested in this idea and will try the slide if I build and bring it along.

How long should the slide be to go from the edge of the road, over the rip-rap and to the water's edge? 20 feet? 24 feet? Less? More?

Let me know what you think, I need time to put it together.

Steve I would be interested in seeing your ramp idea because we need a better way to launch at Middle River.
