Launched my 230 from Calville on Sunday. It’s got a big hump Before the water. But it’s steep. Trailer was barley in the water and the boat floated off trailer. Retrieving was tricky had to put the trailer all the way into the water to get the bow of the boat over the rubber roller.

Launched a 30 Saturday pulled out Tuesday. People shouldn't be allowed to tie up on the ramp side of the dock. Makes it harder than it has to be.

@Runs2rch im always willing to help. The demographic this year sucks. In line a Calville everyone is just straight faceD no hi or offer to help. Hope it changes next year! Glad that all these new boaters will leave the lake here in a couple weeks so we can have it to our selves.

I helped a few people Saturday that were alone. Everyone else just jeering and yelling. Sad boaters use to always be willing to help.
Were you the guy I saw on Qualified Captain that nearly flipped the wake boat trailer??????

Pulled our 40 out today about 6:30am and barely got the back tires of the truck wet. While I was waiting for my dad to come around, I helped a guy trying to do his 255 solo. I actually had to get his truck deeper than we did with the bigger boat.

Long story short, the ramp there is no problem for bigger boats
