First ride of 2018 on the Rideau River outside of Ottawa, Ontario. Air temp was 87 and water was 59. The dog was very disappointed that he didn't get to go swimming.

Boat is ready but my slip still has ice in it.

2 weeks to go but with all this rain it might be delayed if the river is too high.

3 weeks to first splash for 2018!

Search DIY dog boat ramp or pool ramp and you should find lots. Here are a couple links to get you started. These all use the industrial mat with pool noodles.

I've seen a bunch on YouTube like that. They seem to work with heavier dogs and I plan to make one for the start of my season on May 1st. My dog is about 70lbs dry but 85 wet. I have a 195 Sport so I plan to roll it up and store it on the swim platform when not being used.

The Paws Aboard is nice but on the 195 it would just take up too much room. Mine won't be back in the water until April so I was hoping someone in FL or elsewhere might be able to check. My plan is to mount square tube to the bottom of the swim platform using a waterproof construction adhesive...

I'm wondering if anyone has there boat in the water and can check the distance from the underside of the swim platform to the water for me? Also the size of the lip on the swim platform would be helpful. Probably other years would also work. I've checked the Sea Ray archives but the owners...

My 2011 195 Sport has the integrated coolers in the back seat and they do not have plugs.

I will post it for sure. Now I just have to remember to take a measuring tape with me when I go to the boat.

Thanks I know what I'm looking for now and if it's not a problem I won't worry about ladder being down.

Thanks that's a good idea. What is starboard? I'm in Canada and have never heard of it before. I'm planning to rig a sensor to let me know when the ladder is down because I have forgotten it down a couple times and headed to the marina.

Damn weather won't clear again today for a ride.

Has anyone ever designed, built or purchased a cover for the swim ladder on a 2011 195 Sport? My dog likes to jump off the back but I'm worried he is going to get his leg caught and then do some damage to bones and tendons. As far as I can tell this is the ladder I have...
