New boat ramp issue

[Stillrunning]

Years back Portsmouth City Park tore out their old ramps and put in nice new ramps and two nice long piers. Like the saying goes build the ramps and the boaters will come. So on opening day people showed up but found themself backing way down into the water just to get their boats to float. Well a week or so latter the city tore out the new ramps and fixed the problem.

Hey Hammerhead...here's a precedent by another municipality to take to whoever incorrectly built your faulty ramps...research this and take it to 'em...

This has been like 15 years ago so good luck reserching this. What you need to do is inform the city of the problem so they can take a look first hand at the problem because they might not have a clue. In the case I talked about it was not until people showed up to use the ramp did they see the issue. If they contracted out the work they will have to get the contractor back out to fix the problem.

Well you bring up another question...did the contractor put in the ramp to specifications?...
