Yes, at long as it has a outboard motor with gas tank.

If you have ever drove early to ramp to wait on tourney anglers to unload or come in from hot day of fishing only to wait in the heat on a bunch of tourney boats to load or wrap up the banks. You would understand. :hammer:
Why would you have to wait?, just get in line and launch/load when it's your turn.

No different than scallop season with the seasonal boaters... At least the majority of tournament fishers know the rules of the road and, for the most part, boat ethically. I'd rather deal with them than the inexperienced.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark

The ramp isn't the problem for shotgun starts. With the limited range of jons, I think you will have a better turnout if everyone can use the ramp of their choice. What's wrong with lines in at safe light or sunrise?

I've got pristine 8 hp yamaha that pushes a RiverHawk almost 20mph Gary. Want to team up?

To fish, or not to fish, . . . those are the answers.

Just an FYI fellas. That's the same day as the FSU vs Miami home game. The following weekend is a home game as well. You may get more participants if you avoid those. Just my 2 cents :thumbup:

Hey Brian,
If I don't have coaching duties the weekend they decide on, I'm game to team up with you. Your boat is perfect for my autumn redfish creek spots! Gary
