My old Chris Craft cavalier was right at 30 ft with the swim platform.
Thatn's not counting the bow railing thart hung about 2 feet forward
of the bow, though. and my marquis doesn't have a pulpit but with the
swim platform it comes out to about 26 ft. I dont' knwo what the
wieght it. It's heavy for what it is, but I don't think it's that
stout.


i can see that launching a 3-1/2 ton craft could be a bit testy for
one person. Man, that's a lot of weight! Or at least a lot more than
what I'm used to dealing with.



It wasn't bad, actually, at my local marina. Good steep paved concret
ramps, pretty much sheltered from the wind, and full length piers
adjacent. But the 21-footer is easier.


Yup...a good ramp makes all the difference (with the proper tow vehicle).


Except they don't make a V24 Rav4 do they Don?
