That's cool. We have really struggled with high water throughout the great lakes this year.

07-17-2019 09:34 AMThat's for sure. It's amazing how many home's lawns and how many roads are covered with water.

07-18-2019 07:51 AMNot here. The ramps that are not closed for high water, you don't even have to go to the ramp. Just launch from the turn-around area of the ramp.
For the poker run on Saturday, we have to go at no-wake the entire distance of Lake Macatawa so boat wakes don't wash out peoples yards.
I think all of the Great Lakes are at record highs, but have finally stopped raising.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

If I had a driver for the rig (who wasn't going on the boat ride) I could power launch off the top of the ramp. But if whoever is in the truck is going on the ride... they would have to swim.
In our water.

07-20-2019 11:26 PMWe had the runs yesterday and today. The parking lot at the ramp was over the axles on the boat trailers to get to the ramp. It was ridiculous.
