WENT OVER TO IAMONNIA THIS MORNIN TO TRY OUT MY LITTLE POND BOAT I JUST REWORKED AS WELL AS THE LITTLE 5 1/2 JOHNSON I HAVE JUST REBUILT. I WAS SURPRISED AT THE NUMBER OF BOAT TRAILERS THAT WERE THERE, 25. HAD NO TROUBLE LAUNCHING THE POND BOAT, IT IS ONLY 13" FIBERGLASS. THE WATER IS ABOUT 6" DEEP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP, JUST BEYOND THE END OF THE RAMP IS CONCRETE PILE THAT IS ABOUT 2 " BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE WATER. I DID NOT WANT TO MESS UP THE NEW PAINT JOB SO I GOT OUT OF THE BOAT AND JUST PUSHED IT AROUND THE CONCRETE AND ON OUT ABOUT 50 FEET BEFORE I GOT BACK IN THE BOAT. THEN I HAD TO PADDLE OUT ANOTHER 25-30' BEFORE I HAD ENOUGH WATER TO LET THE KICKER DOWN. I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE LITTLE 5 1/2 WOULD GET THE BOAT UP ON A PLANE WITH ME IN IT BUT IT DID. RAN THE KICKER ABOUT AN HOUR AND SHE WORKED PERFECTLY, WELL PLEASED WITH BOTH THE BOAT AND THE KICKER. I WOULD NOT LAUNCH AT THIS RAMP UNLESS YA WANT TO SCRAPE UP THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BOAT.
PA THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA

Any luck??

Glad you got a response to the ramp conditions and was able to get in. Didn't see your question to my previous post until now. We actually have one of those Bass Buddy 2 man plastic boats that Walmart sold years ago ...... the best $400 I've ever spent!!!! We put it in the back of the truck and launch anywhere. We fish a lot of ponds and old reclaimed mines so it works perfectly.
Take care.
