Re: Powerloading damage
The end of these ramps on Balsam look just like this. Fortunately I only have an 18.5' bowrider, as my trailer axle only sits ~18" ahead of this dropoff.
I've seen some real bad damage done on many small lakes here in Northern Wi due to *****h&^%$ with big(too big) fishing boats power-loading at small landings. I mean seriously...do you REALLY need that 20 Warrior w/250Hp to go get a few panfish on a lake I can get across with my 10Hp in 10 minutes?
One lake I know of has been so damaged it's dangerous. Just off the lip of the concrete now, there's a 3 foot drop. Accidently get your tires off there...and it takes a few good deep back-downs and tire sqeeling "power-ups" to get it back.
