6/26/11 LAKE BOONE /HUDSON """CARTOPPER"

What happens is people meet at the store called Lake Boone Ice Co,. (710 Main Street in Hudson, MA). Then 2 trucks drive down to start..drop there boats and gear, 1 guy stays and the other drives back to park. The driver then jumps in the truck of the next guy going down to drop the boat off, so on and so fourth.

Usually it takes a while with the big boats, but with car toppers, i see a nice smooth launch. You may even be able to launch 3 or 4 boats at a time. Also, you can fit probably 10+ cars next to the ramp id imagine.

The store is about 1min from the launch so it really shouldn't take long for your boys.

Looks like Sunday is going to be a beautiful day as well!!!

Ranger Dick is around sometimes, so make sure you have your licenses and registrations.


I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ramp is a challenge to get boats in and out because there is only room to beach one boat at a time.
As far as parking goes....There's plenty of room at the ramp for all the vehicles.

See everyone on the water Sunday.

I can only imagine it's a much smoother process with a car topper T. I'm quite sad I'll be missing out on this one in particular. The wife is relieved however, as she won't be home alone most of the day with the young'un.

i say we just meet at launch .pay right there and launch and wait at the first opening where you always do.i will be there round 530 as soon as everyone is in we start. sound good

yeah just meet at the ramp and if you have to shuttle a few guys then whatever, but i'm sure there will be plenty of room.
good luck all

Hey Boys- I agree the actual launch should fit about 5 vehicles but directly across the street can fit about 5 more so we should be good. Looking forward to hitting the waters with you guys....it's been way too long. Went out for an hour and a half tonight and landed a 5 pounder and a bunch of pound and a halfers, should be a great day! See everyone in a couple days!

Nah, once you make the turn onto Sudbury Road you will be able to see the ramp from the road. On Sunday you will probably also see a bunch of people there unless you are really early.
