Well I guess the liability part makes sense in our sue-happy culture, but does that mean they are only liable for the first ten feet of dock? lol A longer rope is obvious, it's just a heckuva lot easier to control when you don't have that rail and you're by yourself. Don't like to power load the boat and turn the end of the ramp into a trench...not to mention sucking that crap up into the motor.
All in all they did a great job with the funds they had. They were hoping to dredge more of the area out but that's where the funds ran out. Again, in a perfect world they would have put in another ramp to the right of the existing one. That is one busy launch in the spring. Personally I like it better from June on when there are days that only see a handful of boats launch from there. Either way won't be long til I test it out. Of course now the extended weather forecast doesn't show a day above forty degrees after this Wednesday, extending all the way thru next weekend! Have to dig out my thermals
