I drove out to Grand Haven last week and I see why Harbor Island is closed for the season the high water is worse than last year. We rack store at The Wharf in Grand Haven, Is there anyplace else to launch other than MART Dock in Muskegon that is closer to Grand Haven? Our boat is a 32' Sunsation.

Thanks for the suggestions I have seen the ramp at Harbor Town by Dockers that's our Friday night dinner stop...I will have to check out the ramp at Port Sheldon before I bring the boat up for the summer its still in storage in Kentucky.

Hope you guys are doing well. The Kuttawa Cannonball Run is still 'on' - we're printing the tshirts right now!

Harbor town by dockers in muskegon has a 30 ft limit.
having the same issue, either they limit most ramps to 30 ft or under allowed,, or a trailer restriction, no triple axle trailers.

We rack store at the Wharf in Grand Haven and I was able to get them to lift if off the trailer with a sling then set it down on stands before moving it to the rack. The whole process was nerve racking! We will have to use Port Sheldon at the end of summer I did check it out earlier this year and its large and had no restrictions on boat or trailer size posted. For what its worth I did watch a guy load out a 36' Baja at Harbor Town two summers ago without any issue, maybe he got it done without being noticed.
