Does anyone know the depth required to launch and haulout a TY using a Triad float off trailer? My boat ramp has 4.5 Feet of water at high tide., and I'm not sure if that's enough. Any info greatly appreciated.

Re: Water depth at boat ramp
that should be pretty close. although i use a roller-type trailer i think the depth requirement is pretty similar. i don't know the exact depth when i launch, but the depth with the boat still on the trailer at the bow is about 2.5 feet (just shy of my 3 foot waders). i would guesstimate that the stern is in about 4.5 to 5 feet of water. if your ty's toerail is about 5 foot off the hard out of the water you may just make it. the stern will float before the bow when launching so even if you are a little shy you could probably push her off.
