Boat Ramps South Shore Boston - Typhoon

Post by John H »

I am looking for suggestions of an easy to use ramp for my Typhoon with float off trailer. I am new at this, so I am hoping for maneuvering room, good angle into the water, and not too many impatient boaters. Anywhere from South Boston to Cohasset would be great. Thanks!

I know there is one just on Morrisey Blvd in South Boston. I pass by there once a month on a weekend going to the Reserves, I rarely see anyone using it. I would probably wait for high tide to use it.

I will check on it for you.

John,

The Wessagusett ramp in Weymouth is the best that I know of. It has a dock on both sides of it. One of my friends launches his 30' Sabre there every year. Another possibility is the ramp at Hingham Harbor. You definately need a higher tide but I've seen 35' boats launched there.

If you launch in Hingham,keep a lookout for me. I have a CD30 moored there.
