Lake Ki

[fishingmachine]

Hey guys i was wondering if its possible to launch an 18 foot boat there and also if there is a max hp rule

[spindog]

Lake Ki- no hp rule, just a speed limit. Cant remember but I think its slow. Swinging your vehicle into the HWY can be dangerous while trying to get your trailer lined up. The access is gravel, on a corner of the state route hwy. Not much shoulder on the lake side, parking can be limited.

I have launched a boat similar in size to yours in Ki. Launch is what spindog describes. Plan on having the front wheels of your truck in the water. Launching is that shallow. And still had to push the boat off of a roller trailer. I have a light boat. Does not take much water to float it. Launched there twice, after that it was with a car topper only. Do not remember the speed limit but vaguely remember either a 9.9 hp limit or a 8mph limit on a sign at the ramp, more than likely it is the speed limit I read. You basically line up the truck and boat on one side of the two lane 35mph hwy and back across both lanes with heavy traffic coming from both directions, at full speed. Then back across hwy to park. As I recall it was a job to trailer the boat at the end of the day. Boat was winched on......not motored on the trailer, again do to shallow conditions. If you do launch, it will probably be the first and last time with a large boat. Never seen larger than a car topper in there in a dozen visits over the years. A bass boat would have trouble idling at 8mph, doesn't it ? LOL...........Kidding. Suppose it is possible if they hit 85mph top speed. Good luck!.
