It will take more than that little potato gun and a possessive Mrs. to keep Jeff away from a man that owns two Sutphens!

Boat ramps...

Anyone ever use the ramp at Hayes Haven Marina (listed as Chester)? Kevin mentioned something about it so I just took a "trip" over there via Google Earth.

Seems to be about 9 miles past the bridge so it would take a little additional gas and time, but it's fresh water. Fresh water means it would be trailer friendly and no engine flushing to deal with, just quickly scrub the boat down and you're done (which could be done the next day). Plus it's private property, which means no po-po sitting there waiting for the beer cans to fall out of the boat when you're pulling out! If your just going to be hangin at the Cove, it's right around the corner too.

Anyone ever launch or keep their boats there? For those that have been there, how large of a boat can you launch there at their ramp?

If it's not a hassle to launch there, I'm wondering if it might make more sense to go their rather than the "public" OS ramp? Thoughts?

BTW, I called Hayes Haven to ask what they charge. $10 ramp, $10 parking, or $160 for the season... opens 5/15.

i trailer mine every were and it stays in a shelter shed all year at my house, wounder if they would give us a good rate

i am very good friends with the owner. let me know if you plan on using them.

i have seen a 38 donzi launch at hayes without a problem. we launch ours with ease. another advantage of hayes is no waiting to use the launch. its always open and ready for use.

The only "issue" with that ramp is the road to get down to Hayes is VERY narrow. It's sort of a challange with just my 29'......a 38' would be fun! And that comes from me who drives trailers ALL the time....... it's really not that bad....just a pain in the butt if another car is coming at you.

I have seen the Po Po there as well......... but I've only been there a couple times. Justin could tell you better how often they are there.

I think Hayes Haven is a decent ramp considering its fresh water, alot less ramp traffic, and no currant to deal with. The turn you take to get the boat lined up with the ramp is alittle tight, but definately doable. The 10 mile boat ride in a boat you would own would take what, 10 minutes?
