Good to know. Although I've never tried to launch my boat there even at normal levels. That ramp is steep. I don't trust my truck to pull the boat out.

My 4Runner had no problems pulling my boat out of there.

I bet that 4Runner has a higher towing capacity than my truck. I have a '06 Silverado 2wd with the 4.8 engine. It doesn't pull worth a crap. I nearly got stuck on the public ramp in Henderson a couple times. I need a new truck.

I think it has a 5000lb capacity.

Ok, maybe not. But my truck still doesn't tow worth a shite. The rear end is too light or something. I don't know. That sucker spins out on a ramp very easily. I had to have people jump on my bumper to get my truck up the ramp once.

Doesn't help that my tires are nearly bald right now

But even when my tires were new, it still had that problem.

ETA: btw, I must've seen about a hundred boats on my way to work this morning. It didn't make me feel any better about going to work.

Glad someone's catching. I'm working all weekend. Next weekend I'm traveling to visit family.

I'm gonna have to take a vacation day to go fishing.

Thats a good day, right there

Wish my last trip to the pool this year would have been better, but ill be back out there next year. They are about to close it for the year.

Hoping i can get my work done early enough to maybe fish tomorrow afternoon.
