Condition of Alton Bay Launch?

Can anyone comment on the condition of the Alton Bay Launch? Looking to launch a 22' Tritoon this saturday? I know it recently had some refurbishment done.

The docks are deplorable and ready to fall in the water.
The ramp itself is in good shape and is useable.
There is a ball on the left side as you look at the ramp that is tied
to an old piling that is about 3 inches below the surface.
Stay away from that and you should be ok.

As long as you don't need the docks for anything you should be good. I have a relatively large boat and the last time I used it the drop off at the end of the concrete ramp was so bad I thought I was going to rip out an axle off my trailer. I had the truck in 4-low and the tires were starting to break loose. it might be better now, I haven't been back in a couple years.
