Since I've had my boat I've been launching out of Willow Valley, and wanted to know how steep their ramps are compared to others (katherine's, blue water, topock). I'm towing with a 2.2L S10 and can do the pwc and boat ramps just fine at Willow Valley, but dont want to get stuck if I try going somewhere else.

I have a place at Topock and their ramp is pretty damn steep and one side has a drop off. I drive across the river and launch at Moabi, its very nice and usually not as much of a zoo as Topock.

Willow Valley was (or used to be) private :confused: That being said, I launched my 25' offshore there with no problem. A friend of mine has a place there and launches his 24' Deck Boat without any problems either. Katherines is less steep. Never launched from the others you listed.

Not sure if I was logged on or not, I'm on now but I'm pretty clueless about the whole PM thing. Do I need to download anything?
Hit me back up or just post something

Willow Valley Marina is still private. You have to have a residence there and be a member of the Association to launch. The only exception to this is if your a guest of someone with a pad there.
Are you talking about Lake Mohave and Willow Beach above Cottonwood Cove -or- Willow Valley just above Needles?
The ramp at Willow Beach looks relatively steep but its finished with the really rough surface.
Willow Valley ramp is pretty steep. When it gets wet its relatively slippery but not too bad. I pull our 25 out there with a Toyota Tundra and very rarely use 4WD to get out and I don't have a limited slip rear end

willow valley is still private, and the pwc ramp is a lot steeper and half as wide as the ramp inside the marina. I figure I should make it out of pretty much anything (paved) if I can pull out of that ramp with no problems.

Buddy of mine(punany-pirate) has a pad there. The seadoo ramp sucks, you shouldn't have a prob launching anywhere else. I launched at topock last week and it's practically vertical! That would be the only one I'd be concerned with:eek!:
