Does anyone know what tide hight you can launch a 4.8 m boat at night cliff ramp these days?
Jon

4m is easy.
3m you have to back your car in a very long way onto the sand.
2.5m is extremely difficult but I have done it once.

Alot of people try at lower but typically get stuck.

What he said,

BUT I wouldnt try the 2.5m it can be great entertainment for the viewing public but a terrible call to the insurance mob.. its real soft sand there

That Nightcliff Ramp a quick way to kill your car. I use to have kluger as a company car and found that it doesnt matter if it's high or low tide the whole car was in the salt water. The angle of that ramp is not step enough due to the excess build up of sand on it.

I use to wash under the car as best I could but when the lease after 2 years, every thing was rusted through.

I have a hilux which is my personal car and I havent use that ramp in 18 months. Rather drive around from Dinah.

i have launch my 4.8m tabs at 2m but retreving at 2m could be dificult. i've seen heaps of people bogg out there.

Designed by the same mob that put together the city's sewerage system. That works too!!

I came in there once and when I hit the sand I jumped off the boat onto ‘what looked like sand’ and down to my knees in mud. I ended up crawling on all fours in mud.

can be very rough on high tide too
