4 or 5' is going to be tough. I don't know right off hand where you could do that around Marathon - let alone on the ocean side or harbor. My first inclination would be to have it lifted into the water.If you're going to be oceanside (harbor side), then call Marathon Boatyard. That will put you right in the harbor, across from Sister's creek. You could also contact Chris who runs the Smorgasboat in the harbor and ask him if he's aware of any ramp that deep. I'm not. He's at http://www.smorgasboat.com/.
Have a good trip.
Regards, Greg
