Default Boat ramps with no docks
Does anyone have a fiberglass boat and need to pull up on the boat ramp to pick up your partner? There are some ramps I would like to use with no docks but don't want to scratch the bottom of my boat up or would the fiberglass hold up if I'm careful What are your thoughts.

I have a stratos and I do it. I am not a huge fan of having to bank my boat but I have done it. I try to find a place on the bank close to the ramp to park it. I had to do it last weekend at jeferson springs.

I looked at Keel guard I have a tri hull boat so not sure if I would just need 1 or 3 guards they are a little expensive.

The outer sponsons do not touch anything, they are not as deep .. ... you only need the guard on the keel .... <'TK><
