Can anyone tell me what the launch at Obed is like?
I have a 18 foot boat, full console, with a 150 Motor .....
Its mainly sand and mudd, I only ever see small boats there, the odd big one, but its very shallow for about 100 yards off shore. Small boats most guys hand launch. Hope that helps !

Sand and rocks, solid ground.
And it's more like 500 yards till you hit over 5 ft of water. Extremely shallow lake. IMO...To far to reach fishaable water for me to consider paddling my kayak on such a windy lake.
It depends more on trailer then boat. The hard part is getting boat to shore after launching as there is no pier. Be prepared to get wet i would say. I have seen all sorts of different boats out there from belly boats to lunds/pontoons.
As long as the mud/silt isn't soft - there should be no problem - my boat will float off before my truck gets anywhere near the bottom of the doors. It's getting stuck in the mud and silt that sucks.
There are 2 of us - so getting it out - if the bottom is firm - should be pretty easy - the boat has double bunks on pivots and side guides - so she goes on pretty easy if I keep it coasting in at walking speed and she will stop 6" short of the yoke. The trailer is a dream.
We may give it a go tomorrow - if not we will likely go to Wab before all the weekend warriors show up and start clogging up the launch posing for everyone while we enjoy their cool tattoos, white Lloydminster edition sunglassess and choice of gansta rap.
