I agree with you.....Satsop ramp is "a pain in the ass", my new painted boat has marks from the rocks, along the bank on the down river side. If they would have "angled the ramp" down river just a bit, would have helped. I just unload and load by boat by having trailer off the ramp but on the blocks downriver, works for many of us.
WDF---really needs to budget more monies into boat ramp maintance, repair, and replacement. Just more and more people using these ramps In Grays Harbor.
WDF hides behind the "no money" bit.......but check the salaries of WDF personnel and you'll see why "boat ramps" are not higher on the list of "need to do".
South Monty, Satsop(at the hiway briges), and West Fork of the Satsop...........need to be in a 3-5 replacement list.
I've been saying the "South Monty" ramp is bad for 15+ yrs......Used to extend out into the river 10-15 more.....the WDF takes care of the problem by posting signs informing of the danger. Guess that makes them feel better!!!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!!!
Seems I remember when the vehicle stickers were 1st required.......the money was to go for boat ramp maintance and replacement. That sure got changed quickly........
