Yep..... I almost lost an old car in college on that ramp in the late 80's when I was putting in an old boat a friend and I bought back then. No e-brake and my tranny would not hold in park. Was by myself launching on a weekday and tires were spinning when I tried to pull out. Luckily someone came to my aid with a 4-wheel drive truck. In somewhat recent years I had a couple Jetskis and would put them in at Lally's a little west of Grandrapids. It is closer to my house by a couple miles but is only a stone/gravel "ramp" and is into the river from the side so the current makes loading a bit more challenging.
