hanover street
has anyone ever launched anything over 35 foot at harbor hospital off hanover street in Baltimore? I have seen some 35's launch there but it seems a little steep.

When i was young My friends father would launch from there all the time because it was free. I've seen some big 35-38 foot cabin cruisers launched there from time to time. If you don't mind all the needles floating in the water and hobos hanging around there it's alright. Based on your signature you have a 42 sonic? I'd probably tow it Afew extra miles to a nicer ramp. Even if it cost Afew dollars. You prob have a nice tow rig and I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my stuff there while I was out. I think you can launch at jaws marine? It's only 5 or so more miles up the street. I know they have a ramp there.. Good luck. Where do you keep the boat if you're looking to launch from there? Just curious.

The ramp across from Redeye's gets ugly on weekends, parking sucks. Very little parking for long trailers, we've gotten a couple of parking tickets because of where we parked. The ramp in Centreville is about 2 miles from my house, even at high tide I can't get the boat off the trailer.

That current RIPS though Kent Narrows. You had better know what you are doing at that ramp.
This is a decent ramp up near Baltimore: http://www.jawsmarine.net/contact.html

+1 Been there done that. Its a challenging place to launch and even harder to load. Especially if you are broke down. And you better hope your trailer does not float.

Not sure of their hours but it is a nice quality ramp and it's no no wake as soon as you leave there you can throw the coals to it. Dumps you out basically right at the patapsco bridge in Curtis creek. Give them a call and check hours but They are good people.
