That's great news, thanks for sharing.

Nice pictures, great story and a really cool boat.

I'm glad they recycled rather than replaced the old docks. They just needed repair (desperately).

Hopefully the ramp will be more resilient to power loading now. I don't think the few that do that are ever going to stop so it makes sense to make the ramp better able to deal with it. The upside is that power loaders tend to take very little time to load. I won't power load my boat even if it it allowed (way too easy to ding a prop or two on my boat), but I'm a firm believer in driving the boat onto the trailer at idle power, then winching it up to the bow stop. That technique is much faster and offers more control that tugging the boat to the trailer with lines.
