I was there this year with my Spectre you guys didn't have a radar gun to use. Something about the boat had to leave on a rescue or recovery mission. I made a few passes, got tired of waiting around and rode down river. Did the gun ever show back up? The other time I went a few years ago was good. But every time I come back at June Parker Marina the tide is out and I loose a water pump due to mud clogging strainers. Is there a deeper ramp somewhere?

Our radar gun was there. That wasnt the issue. Our dive team had to leave and retrieve the body of a 7 year old boy who had drowned 15 miles down river. We called the event because because if something happened we want a dive team there for driver retrieval. We dont want to put our coast guard permit ,insurance or a life at risk. It was a bad situation. Hopefully next year will be big. June Parker is a pain, we admit. It causes alot of people to not come to our events. People around here still say NOVA/MD boaters should check out the public ramps on the north side of the Rapp. Not much on parking but plenty of water and close to the event. We want you "Potomac" boys at our events, we just wish we had a nice ramp for people!

Naylors does have a ramp. I have heard it is hard to load and unload there. Biggest i have seen go in there is 26' but i can check. As far as personal ramps, we have one that alot of people put in at, but we dont want to wear out our welcome or take advantage of his hospitality. It can possibly be an option sometimes though.

Looks like a B-max or scx in the works! Like i said i'd rather live in my house than my boat. So yes I guess im one of those guys THIS year.
