Marinas.com must be destroyed. Thanks for the link, I'll have my Chinese & Russian hacker friends take them down asap.

I added your ramp.

Very ambitious project there Ludi - let me know how I can help, other then doing all the grunt work. ;)

Come on, how many boat ramps could there be in the USA?

:471_confused_face:

I'll let someone else do the marina's, restaurants and fuel. I had planned on adding those but quickly realized that they exceeded the ramps by a factor of 4,000%. Speaking of grunt work how about a "ReelBoating Boat Ramp" logo to click on instead of the blah blah text???
