My friend Bob launches his 31 Scarab down there. The ramp looks pretty big to me but I've never launched there.

The ramp next to Tomes landing will handle your boat depending on the tides. There is a bit of underwater grasses also. If the tide is unusually low it may be better to go to the ramp in Perryville (permit required). I use the ramp in Perryville occasionally. When I do I use the side of the ramp that is on the down river side. I hit something on the other side of the ramp when I dropped it in reverse and ruined a brand new prop. We kept our boat at Tomes for 10 years and used both of these ramps. Good luck with your engine and we'll see you out on the water.

thanks for the extra info addiction...I know that they are very tight with permits for out of staters at Perryville, so I might get one of those just in case, but..since the motor is gonna cost me about $3k at the machine shop, I'll definitely be trailering...Now the big question is going to be How friendly btharbold will be to a lowly Sonic owner..lol, I know that you can't park overnight at the public ramp, so btharbold, would you be gracious enough to occasionally allow me to park my truck and trailer at your place if I decide to do an overnight??

The Port ramp will be a stretch with a 35 footer. We regularly launched our 30 Scarab there, but with a crew cab dually it was tight, especially if idiots were parked in the no parking zones near the ramp. Biggest problem with the longer boats and trucks will be getting over the rr tracks without getting hung up. Would never dream of it with the Apache, we wet launch GR in Perryville, nice long ramp there with parking for bigger trailers.

that's what I understand, only problem, is that you need a permit if you are out of state (like me) and they only issue something like 15 a year as I understand...plus, can you park overnight at Perryville?

I would always see that Apache sitting in port while I was on the school bus back when I was in middle school.. one of my favorite apaches.. would love to sit it in person tearing up the Chesapeake!
