Yea Blue and Parish, believe me I have thought more than twice about it. Just don't need a big heavy boat for the fishing I will be getting back to, 14-17 tin boat is about it.
At least it will let me get on the water a lot, and the two lakes right near me are decent size but seldom choppy unless a storm blows in. But I can just about get in 15 minutes from almost anywhere on them so not a concern. It isn't just launching the boat it is the accumalative effect that it all has on me. Long drive to the water (tow) of about 50 minutes on a good day, the launch and recovery with normally a pretty good crowd of people waiting to do the same, I need at least three hours to fish the salt before I even stop for bait and clean up afterward which I am religious about with the boat and motors.
Thought about biting the bullet and paying the 2500 for a slip and even found one, pretty decent too.
But after a beautiful day on the water with the rocking and rolling I was shot. Maybe a year from now it will be healed up enough where it does not bother me so much but for now I know the answer :-[
