Irondequoit bay launch


Recommended Posts

Do you have any idea how many feet the ramp extends under water?

 

The ramps only extend to the end of the docks.

 

At the ends of the ramps there are cement like railings to help prevent you from backing the trailer in past the end of the ramps. If you back in over these railing, you may have one helX of a time getting back out without damaging your trailer.

 

I saw one guy last year rip the whole axle off of his trailer.

If you go past the end of the dock and the tires fall of the ledge your stuck. Saw a guy have to call in a boom truck to pick his trailer straight up to get it out

An 18' boat can make it out of the launch in the bay.  There were a ton of them launching in that size yesterday.   The water level is a smidge above where it was last week.  Still about 18-24" below normal.  I would NOT risk anything larger.  Can't speak for the launch at the genny.  It is a deeper pitch but I have no idea how far the pads extend into the river.

I've launched a 25' center console out or both last week. Water is low but no issues. If ever in doubt walk to the end of the dock with a boat hook. Nothing good happens if your wheels go off the end.
