The problem is if the wind is up loading was a real problem for the two guys in aluminum boats. They could not hold their boats on line and kept getting blown into the prop wash burm that is right out side of the ramp. One guy tore his prop up completely getting back in. Also, if your trailer sits high you have to back off the end of the concrete to get your boat in the water.
