I've seen boats 10 feet longer than yours launch at Windsor's North ramp when the water is low. Don't use the South or you'll ding your prop. North just stay in the middle and you'll be fine.

you should be ok at Windsor then...it can be difficult there at times without 4WD
launched "notsoslowinhavasu" there over the weekend in a 30' and usually launch the 36' there

How could it be difficult at Windsor without 4x4? The ramp is not steep. Were you talking about Cattail? That's a nice ramp but steep. The only time someone should have a problem at Windsor is if there truck is too small for there boat or if they have one tire on the slick cement and one tire on the ribbed cement. I love watching them do that from the boat and my wife get out of the truck and go tell them what theyre doing wrong.

So true, I watch my wife tell people how to "un-screw" themselves at the ramp all the time as I'm coming in on the boat, it hilarious!!!
