I thought for sure I was going to rip my forward axel out from under the trailer trying to get it back up onto the concrete. My question is, is there a better launch in the Alton Bay area that can accommodate a large try-axel trailer? I don't mind paying to launch or park. I don't dare even try Downing's again. I think the last time I just got lucky.
Thanks

I feel your pain.
I just bought a boat and was hoping to use it on Newfound...figures fish and game picks this spring to do preventative maintenance on the pilings for ice damage. It is a nice ramp however but out of commission for the best part of the fishing season (trolling for salmon)
The Downing situation is dangerous and they should try to put a temporary fix in the ramp before someone gets hurt physically or financially. Shouldn't take much to even out the ramp a bit so trailers don't fall off the edge.
