There isn't enough room in the cabin of my 35 to change my mind. My 27 Forumula had more room in the cabin.
You could try the Lakeway ramp if you can get permission to use it. Otherwise there are scattered private ramps in use at Travis but most people are just using Lakes Austin or LBJ. There is a ramp at CnC but there may be a size limit due to the equipment they use for launching boats. Mansfield Dam ramp will not open back up until the water is expected to stay above 630.

38X just saw a Fountain 38 SC being towed over 290on Barker Cypress headed South, was that you by any chance, and yes might make it to Conroe next weekend, but scheduled to start a trial the following Monday.
