That is good to know, about it being shallow.
I always came up in a dingy so I never knew.
Didn't the City put money into fixing the ramp???
Or did they just resurface and paint?

: Canon Marine has always been the steepest deep
: ramp, and I use it sometimes for our 20'
: fish boat. I don't recall it handling 4-6
: feet however, but I would trust them if they
: tell you so. They're honest.
: 33rd St is over on the Ocean side so you'd
: have to go all the way around, plus I've
: lived there on my boat and that ramp is
: especially shallow.

: Greg, Thanks a lot for your reply! I spoke
: with the folks at Marathon Boatyard. They
: made me a pretty go'od deal for a round trip
: (off the trailer and back on in a week), but
: they're having a problem with me stepping
: the mast and they don't have hours on
: Saturday.
:
: I also called Harbor Point (former Cannon
: Marine). He told me his ramp should be no
: problem, it's long and high tide would be no
: problem. Does this sound accurate or is he
: telling me what I want to hear.
:
: I seriously appreciate yours and anyone
: else's input. Thanks again!

: 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.

: Hi all. We're heading to Marathon and
: bringing
: our small sailboat along. The boat draws
: 27" but I need about 4 or 5 feet at a
: ramp to launch from the trailer. Can anyone
: recommend a ramp (ocean side) near Sister's
: Creek? Should I even try launching from the
: trailer or should I have a marina lift it
: from the trailer to the water (and back to
: the trailer after a week) ... and if so, can
: you recommend a marina. Thanks!
