How is the grass at Windsor (not the smoking kind)? Heard its causing issues. Is one ramp better to use.

Not too sure of a issue, but yes there is grass in the lake.
After I launch or go thru the channel I get out and clean all the grass off the drive before I take off. Better safe then sorry.

because I boat the Delta I know for a fact Grass is more of a issue for jet boats than outdrives, or O/B

I launch at Windsor north ramp all the time and never had any issue with grass this year. It's there but about 6-8 feet under water and not much floating around.

I think they've actually been mowing the grass at Windsor and the channel, but seems like a lot of it gets away from them.

It sucked last weekend. Was so thick that I had trouble reversing.....lol. Launched at the marina on Sunday to get all if it off my trailer. It was hilarious because a huge chunk came off and was floating in the marina.

Going North in the channel to get to Windsor, the S/D picked up a bunch. I was watching the temp gauge and she started to climb real fast when we cleared the no wake zone. I just stopped and backed up and all was well. Went North above the ramp just to make sure no impellor damage. All systems good.
