The community boat ramp in my neighborhood is concrete and fairly steep. I can launch it from my truck without getting the tires wet. So I would think there wouldn’t be an issue launching. Bringing the boat back out of the water would be the tougher part pulling that weight up an incline.

if your boat launch is like mine NO WAY would it work. I have to back so far into the water my max would float before the boat would release from the trailer. as far as pulling the weight I see no issue with it

 I've never done but don't see why not. Just be extremely cautious and aware of you situation at all times. You will have 6 traction wheels as opposed to 2 or 4 with a pick up truck.  :P

Launching Bass Boat with Max II

Has anyone ever launched a bass boat on a boat ramp with a Max II?  The bass boat is a 16' that weighs 1200 lbs.  Don't know if the Max could handle it.  Mine has a 20hp Kohler on it.
