No it was at Lake Travis Marina, off Hudson Bend Road.

the ramp was over 1/8th mile at least.... haha looking for pic now. the ramp at the dam look about 2/3rd the lenght of the one at lake travis marina. still long as ****.

Here is the first pic we took. but we are allready 1/2 down the ramp at this point casue we are past the shorter ramp where it vears off...

That's crazy!! Our ramps around here, your front tires are still on level ground.

Mitten, doubt I will make it out there, left at 3am to drive back into atl this am, and have a meeting with some more drivers again at 6:30 am..

The handful of times i've used that ramp i've driven down most of it forward, then turned around in the dirt and backed down the last little part.

In pretty much the same situation you are, 29 Outlaw and 33 Outlaw are at the top of my list. In my Opinion, I would want either a 29 with twin 6.2's to save a bit of weight, and probably a bit of fuel, or, if I am going with Big Blocks, step up to the 33. Either way, I'm going to have to upgrade my tow rig, but with the twin Small Blocks I can get by with my existing one for the time being. Prices are pretty similar from what I've seen. I think the 33 will keep you from getting 2-foot-itis, because anything bigger than that is a BIG boat. But with the 29, I know I'll really like the boat, but worried I'll wish I had the 33, especially after I upgrade my tow rig, which is probably going to end up being necessary on the 29, as well.
