Meredith Ramp
Has anyone used the Meredith ramp lately? Have a 195 Crownline was thinking of day launching next weekend and was wondering if it’s still deep enough. Used it in October 2016 where we had to balance the rear wheels half way off the slab to make it work.

If you have a roller trailer it might be ok but I don't think you could get in deep enough with a bunk trailer. Last edited by Biggd; 10-05-2020 at 12:36 PM. |

I pulled my 27' R7 out of the water at Meredith on Sunday and had no issue with getting the bunk trailer deep enough

There are a couple wooden posts sticking up at the end of the cement ramp sections. When I looked at them this past weekend one recently had the top chewed up by a prop. |

I haven't used the Meredith ramp in years, but the Center Harbor ramp has always been very deep and accessible. Plus you can pull off to the side and close up your boat and put your straps on without blocking traffic!

Thanks Everyone. I have a single axel so perhaps Center Harbor is safer. I suppose I could always try Meredith first. It’s on the way. This is a sort of ritual I do at the beginning and end of each season. It’s on Winnisquam full time.

A few of the places I boated out west in drought years, you actually stopped using the ramp, and a section of the beach on the lakes or rivers would be opened up to facilitate launching and retrieving of boats. The best solution to this situation can be seen at Winnisquam Marine, where they attached metal plates to the end of the ramp, so that they can back further in, during low water periods... although they have limitations as well. last I knew Melvin Village Marina, was going to install a similar solution to their ramp, because they where having continuing problems with low water and their ramp.
