I live on Cazenovia Lake and just built a new 10' X 4' ramp to attach to my year-round dock. It is constructed from pressure treated 2 X 4s and 3/4" pressure treated plywood, gavanized pipe and flange legs, fitted and well carpeted bunks fore and aft and a non-mar tailer roller to make it easy to launch and retreive. Both bunks have rope tiedowns and the boat has a mast-up cover. I can uncover, rig and be underway in about 5 - 10 minutes. It is a little heavy, probably 300 lbs + but I wil only have to install and remove in twice a year to avoid ice damage here in almost Canada, Upstate NY. Cost was about $275 owing to high lumber cost in our (mostly) post-COVID economy.. Construction time was about 15 hours. This ramp replaces a similar 8' X 4' ramp I built in the mid-1980 so I am hoping the new one will last as long. Photos are attached.
