Shawn - lost a pretty detailed post to a busy server, so I'll keep it short this time. Sounds like you may be launching at the marina - if so, try the ramp on th other side of the lake across from the marina, you can see the bath house up on the hill. That access has two docks and enough ramp for three trailers abreast. We tend to lauch without that use of docks; one guy in the boat, and the other in the tow vehicle. Back down the ramp, drive the boat off the trailer, wait in the cove while the driver parks the vehicle, then motor in to pick him/her up and out you go. That keeps the ramp and docks open for others (the guys that like to say goodbye :D ).

Yeah, 20 HP - but who makes a 20 HP outboard? That's why everyone ran 9.9's with the 10 HP limit - no manufacture made a 10 HP. I still don't quite understand that restriction on the Project. I think unlimited with certain no-wake areas would work just fine there.
