Wrong blame. As a resident of Alton Bay, and having spent many hours in and around the ramp areas, it is the family boater who doesn't want to get his truck / SUV wheels wet or dirty, thereby having two thirds of the boat rails out of water and then rev the engine trying to get onto the trailer. These are the same boaters who, after much difficulty backing up, spend twenty minutes or more loading the boat with coolers, water toys, etc..
Many bass fishermen have two to the boat, and often one handles the vehicle, the other the boat, and launch and recover quickly and properly.
The exception to the "good" bass fishermen join a large group of other boaters who have no clue about how to launch and recover their boat quickly and efficiently with no damage to the facility.
For what it's worth, it appears there will be some form of base going further out on the ramp areas that may help alleviate some of the wallowing out of the ramp area that has occurred since F&G took over the ramp from the Downings.
