Public boat ramp??

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

Hey Scar, what kind of boat are you bringing. :idontno:

:clap: ...yes!!!

Okay...pubic boat ramp. There I said it. I was afraid to post it until I was safely back in the USA. 😀

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 believe I'll do that now.

Scarcrotch, I think you made a wise and simple decision.

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: 😱 :shock:
