Thanks for the report!

These are the 2 new floor pieces with the primer on them

It's time to update this old thread with a few repairs and improvements that are either done or are being worked on now. During the last 2 years I added 8 rod holders in the hardtop, and replaced my Hummingbird 1198c with a Gen 3 Helix 10 Chirp Mega+ SI. I also still use my Lowrance HDS9 Gen 3 touch unit. This year I'm replacing the wood floor inside the cuddy cabin, as well as a roughly 36" x 37" square piece of deck floor at the stern of the boat. Those new pieces are 1/8" aluminum sheet, primed with self etching primer, then painted with Total Boat brand Total Tread anti-slip paint (light gray). The floor pieces got their first coat of anti-slip paint today, and will get their 2nd and final coat tomorrow. Here are the rod holders I added under the hard top. Spinning rods starboard, and trolling rods port This is the old cuddy cabin floor (bottom side, of course) These are the 2 pieces on the rear deck that I am replacing with one sheet. The hinged piece is 1/16" aluminum diamond plate that is a little too thin

Thanks for the info!

The water on Lake Ontario is too low for me to use these boat launches. I didn't check any of the launches in Sackets Harbor, Henderson Harbor or Stony Creek. This is the Chaumont Bay launch This is Three Mile Bay This is Martin's II This is the Black River launch in Dexter. The floating dock is not installed yet. My boat (22ft) and trailer are too long for these launches.

That's not a lot of water for a 22ft boat trailer. Thanks for the replies!

How low is the water level at Stony Creek, Henderson Harbor and other Jefferson County boat launches? Looking for a good place to launch a 22ft boat. I haven't had my boat out yet this year due to a crazy work schedule.

That's insane!

Thanks for the report!

How does low water levels benefit the wetlands? The wetlands at Stony Creek in Jefferson county (shown in another post), as most other wetlands, are less likely to thrive with near-record low water levels. How does low water levels benefit shipping? If you people could read, you would see that most of us would rather see the water levels closer to normal, or slightly higher, but not to a point of flooding out homes and businesses that have thrived on the lake and SL River for many decades before plan 2014 came along. A 7.2ft difference is hardly what could be considered rational or acceptable. Maybe the IJC will raise the water levels after a few cargo ships run aground in the river, or after the damage to the wetlands becomes too great...

huh 🤔

I've used that launch for 6 or 7 years now, and I've never seen it this low. How big is your boat? Outboard or I/O?

That's exactly what I thought might happen. I don't want mud & sand being sucked into my motor. Thanks for the report! Were the channel markers in place yet?

Looks like it's too low for my Sabre right now.

Looks like nearly a 4ft drop from the top of the launch wall to the water.

Thanks for the reports! I was concerned about the low water levels and where to launch my 22ft Crestliner Sabre. I had a feeling that Stony Creek was too shallow right now. I also noticed that Chaumont Marina hasn't put their floating docks in yet, and their non-floating docks are way above the water level.

Great looking boat, congrats!

Congrats on a great catch!
