So if anyone uses Chester Frost stay towards the middle and left side facing the water. From what I have seen you may just want to stay towards the middle or just go somewhere else. Thats all I got to say about that. Stupid is as stupid does, momma says.

Sorry to hear about your damage. I had my trailer tires teetering on the end of the ramp to unload at Hwy 58 launch. I hope they bring the water level back up a couple of feet

I want to say they lowered the levels in anticipation of Saturday's storms. I went Saturday night to the launch in town. And looked around a bit. Water was low enough that a section of docks in front of the restaurant had no access to the lake. Water was only about ankle deep across there and only a few feet wide. I got off the end of the ramp a couple of years ago. I took the winch strap down under the back of the trailer and back to the eye of the boat. Then cranked the winch to get the trailer up enough that I could ease it back onto the ramp. Then drug the boat back on the trailer and went my wet butt to the house. Not an adventure one soon forgets
