The high and dry rack system in great I use it in Islamorad. There is no place that I ha be found on the Hudson River that does it. They have places with racks but that is just to store it for the winter. There is places on Long Island that do it.
or $458 a month because that 7th month is useless (too cold)
Properly setup it was supposed to one person launching. This was a rental and the extended keel on my 2016 resulted in too much pressure on the center rollers and it needed adjustment to put more weight on the outside rollers but the marina never got around to it - required two to four people to push it off! A winch might have worked but there was nothing to attach it to. Unless I was very aggressive with the throttle, the boat overhung the dock and left a portion of the rudder in the water which accumulated marine growth, otherwise it was high and dry. Overall I did prefer a dry rack arrangement but this was potentially more convenient. Since I didn't own it, I'm not sure what the marina is going to do with it but it was kind of a mess after a summer in salt water and would likely need to be dragged out, power washed and left out of the water to avoid damage.
