That's definitely the way I do it except when I go out of the Atlantic Highlands which is probably at least half my outings.....When you are in the middle of that 6 boat wide ramp there aint no other way to get in the boat .

True....I forgot about that place RW. Haven't launched from the Highlands in years.. Great ramp, nice slope etc... but it's just too damn crowded for my blood.

If I'm trailering all the way down the parkway to 117 I like Leonardo a lot better.. 2 boat wide, very steep, short ramp, but easy as pie to launch from because of the angle.
I average seeing at least 2 vehicles being pulled up the ramp per year because they are 2 wheel drive and their wheels are just spinning....4WD is a must for that ramp. Low tide is the worst because the bottom of the ramp is slimy concrete.. not much traction even for a 4WD. But I'll still take that ramp over Highlands.

I still like the Secaucus free launch ramp and the run down the river to the hook. For me it's the easiest and I don't mind the extra fuel I burn.
I figure that I actually save money by launching free, not paying tolls and not sitting in traffic for several hours on my way back home.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
