Elite angler power load in Michigan?

But hey, you guys are the ones who have to live with the inconvenience and clearly the state has done an outstanding job of convincing you guys that is not really a problem so if you guys don't mind I certainly don't care.

No inconvenience or problem for us. It could be that we just aren't lazy and impatient

I think a lot of the people posting dont understand that there are quite literally 11,000 different lakes in michigan and the DNR maintains access ramps at a significant chunk of them. A google search turned up an alabama dnr page that said they maintain access at 23 (yes TWENTY THREE) lakes. Im sure theree are rivers in there, but you get the gist--Michigan has a crap-ton more lakes than most other states, so the cost of maintaining all those ramps is massive and upgrading that many ramps simply isnt realistic or needed. Not powerloading is a miniscule and HIGHLY worthwhile price to pay for having a public ramp on so many different bodies of water. Can you imagine what the cost of upgrading so many of them to be "properly built" for folks from below the mason dixon line would be?

It is amazing how much water is in Michigan, and Wisconsin/Minnesota for that matter. It is a wonderful outdoor enthusiast state and puts Indiana's access to shame. I visit Michigan multiple times every year. I also go south to Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama every year. All are great states, but Michigan by far has more water as far as I can tell. It has as many miles of coastline as California and as many(or more) inland lakes as Minnesota.

Winching up is easy....you can keep your motor running at idle in gear to help. you just cannot be above idle while in gear at the ramp.

I agree, a whole lot of bandwidth being spent on something that really is of no concern unless you visit. And if you do we ask that you abide by our rules....

With all that said, 2 years agow hen the Elites were here JVD got an earful at the same ramp (Harley Ensign) for powerloading. He grew up in Michigan....shame on him. Nice kid though.
