Just at LRH this morning, Dalrock boat ramp is too low for most bass oats, including my 17' Xpress.
No trouble putting in, just had to wait til Dallas Fire and Rescue finished an on the water drill.

Big problem coming out, trailer tire fell off back end of ramp, and could not pull it out and over the hump.

Big thanks to the crew a Dallas Fire and Rescue, for helping to lift boat up to fit trailer.Took six big guys.

I'm s'pectin the lake is a lot more than 4' low.
I'm reelin

i bet you are right.. more like 5.5-6' low!!! if you ever fall off the ramp again, by yourself.. just winch the boat to the bow roller, then go underwater and hook up the transom saver straps.. the boat will float the trailer, most likely. that will lift the wheels up enough to get the boat out of the water.
