Does anyone know where there is a public boat ramp close to Seagrove Beach with water ether on or connected to the gulf? it needs to be deep enough to float a 26' fishing boat. It does not have to be right in Seagrove. It can be anywhere from destin to panamal city beach. Just somewhere along the coast. You get the idea. I would be greatful for any help you all can give me. Thanks.

I have no idea. I'm too distracted by your name to understand your question. (And I'm not a local.) Sorry--hope that someone who is more mature with a longer attention span can help you.

p.s. :welcome:

I've been told that you have to go to Destin. We brought down a boat once and were in a similar dilemma.

Thanks for the welcome. The name is because I had a couple of surgeries in that general area. My wife started calling me that and it just kind of stuck as an online name.

Scar Crotch, I think that the wenches are gonna adopt you immediately. I believe you're of the race that knows Joseph...:wave:

p.s. We'll find you that boat ramp, or at least have some sort of environmental/political/aesthetic argument about it. You came to the right place.

It could be worse. It could be right smack dab in the middle of your face.:yikes: Dermacare doesn't care when they burn your a$$ gulls :moon: :doh: They said they were safe and had a doctor and they weren't and did not. I got a bad 2nd or 3rd degree burn with a big scar. I'm not kidding gulls and all just for a tiny blood vessel on the bridge of my nose. :puke:

Oh yeah, sorry SC, about the boat ramp, there's probably something closer, maybe off Thomas Drive, but hubbabubba says there's one at St Andrew's Pier in Panty Maw City. :wave:

You could always launch on the bay and boat out to the gulf.

kurt
06-26-2007, 08:57 AM
You can launch at the 331 bridges and then it's a long ride to the gulf via Destin or Panama City.

Or you can drive it either place and launch there or a few places in between.

Much less traffic if you lauch at 331 bridge or Cessna Landing (hwy 393N) and boat it around, rather than fighting Destin road traffic, while pulling a big boat.

I would recommend launching at St. Andrews State Park. It's right at the pass in PCB.

I'm from Ohio about 25 miles south east of Columbus. However, my wife was born in Walton county FL, has family down there, and my father and law is moving back there in about a year and a half when he retires. He wants us to go with him. I love it so much down there, I plan on taking him up on his offer.

I thought about that, but that is a long ride (and a lot of gas) to the gulf. thanks for the info though.

Once again, thanks for the info. But destin looks like it may be my only option. Thats alright though. I can handle the traffic. Im a truck driver who pulls doubles (about 70 feet from bumper to bumper). A 26' trailer thru a little bit of traffic wont be nothing but a thang.

A pro (even towing a boat) would be a refreshing change to the Destin standard of ridonkulous SUV w/ inept driver!

Sort of like Al Pacino in ScarFace, only perhaps a porno version.

Hey Scar, what kind of boat are you bringing. :idontno:
I'm not bringing any boat now. We decided that it wasn't worth the hassel or the cost to drag that thing down there. My father in law and I decided we will split the cost of a 6 person fishing charter just for the two of us. It still will be way cheaper, and far less headache. Plus we'll have a deck hand to do all the dirty work for us.

To answer your question, it was a Triton 2486CC. 25'8" with 8'6" beam and twin 150 MURC's. It belongs to my best friend (and his bank). He bought it as our "Lake Erie Boat". Damn thing cost as much as his house. Since he has had a set of keys to my bass boat from the first day I bought it and I even let him take it out of state a couple of times, plus every time we have gone up to the big lake, its been my truck towing it at 7 1/2 miles per gallon, he felt kind of obligated to let me take it to Florida. But, now he can rest easy because it aint going to happen.

I'm with ya, SC. mr. dd has got this cockamamy idea that he wants to buy a waverunner to take to Florida. Only thing is, he's flying. I'm driving. I told him under no uncertain terms that I WILL NOT drag the $%^#& thing all the way to Florida. I told him for what he'd pay for one, he could rent one for the whole freakin' week and save me the headache. But, it doesn't matter if he rents it or buys it, I still have many concerns about the whole idea. :yikes: :eek: :shock:
