Built a quick/cheap shore launch

[Mibix]

Took about 2 hours with a friend and auger rental. Costs maybe $80 in materials. The ramp part is also removable with no tools and can be taken inside in the winter.

I have one similar that I also sunk some cement towards the tail end of it and put a big stainless eyebolt in it. I use it to put a monstrous cable through, then thru my rear bow eye and I lock her up.

Pretty cool. Been pondering for years what to do behind my parents house for launching. I like that.

That is a good idea, I was thinking about putting some kind of lock through the rear eyebolt and then attaching it somehow to the dock post as a lock

I thought about that but I just used the aquaturf and MaryKate Liquid Rollers Trailer Bunk Board Lubricant

1" casters from home depot work pretty well too. I used them for a truck bed ramp

Go with the casters idea. Or cut a kitchen cutting board into strips and screw it down with the screws below the top surface of the board.

Liquid Rollers Lubricant

That stuff works way to good

Or keep it the same way you have it and use it!

For bunk glides on my trailer I used composite deck board ripped down (table saw) to the width of the 2x4 then the edges done with a 1/4" round router. I bought the $20 board because it was flat on the bottom. I got 3 glides that were 8 feet long, 1.5" wide and 1" tall.
