I wonder if someone will send this to the greenies. There's no powering up allowed anymore on ramps.

if you can't power up on the ramp, then whos going to keep the ramp dredged out?

if i understood the audio, the capt is in his 70's. the way he was jumping up & down off the bow of that boat, i'm not gonna be the one to tell him how to load his boat.

What a dangerous move period ..Wow I always float my Boat on and off ..Never comprehend this method and will never do it..
When I Boat its myself, two Kid's one 14 one 12, no room for mistake's or senseless moves ...I can't afford a stunt like this ..Few years ago maybe :)

I never understood the reasoning behind the rule . . . do you guys know what it was?

ny i have a bunk trailer and on a short ramp or low tide, that's the way its done.
bs, probably due to silt being spread to surrounding sea grass, i agree with spare, thats what keeps some old ramps open..

thats the way i load the boat most of the time

Me too.

When power loading you remove the silt at the end of the concrete ramp and mound it up so that it is now in the way at low tide.
Good article here..

Thanks inaforty, that's what I thought and I know there fines for this at some ramps. I had this discussion this fall:
