Launch Ramps in the Hingham MA area

[Jeremygavin]

My daughter has a softball game on Sunday in Marshfield till 1:30 so getting down to the Cape to get on the 52 that afternoon is going to be tight. We are thinking of trailering the 19spx up with us to the game with us and then putting the boat in somewhere in the Hingham area. We want to head into Boston for and early dinner at the Seaport. It is supposed to be 80deg, Sunny and very little south wind so sounds like a great day to check out that area a little more. Can anyone tell me the best ramp to launch at in the Hingham area? I saw the town ramp online. It says that there is no access at low tide, low is 11:30am on Sunday so that should work for is. Any other good/better ramps to check out?

You might want to try posting on "The Hull Truth" in the northeast section. Just don't tell them you own a Sea Ray!

I will check THT out. I have looked on there before but never posted. I heard they don't like our kind there.

They pretty much hate everything that isn't a center console built 100% for fishing! If you just leave out what kind of boat you have there is still a ton of great info on the site, especially local info.

It does seem that way with what I have read on that site.
We ended up putting the boat in at Georges Lane Beach Landing in Weymouth. Nice landing with plenty of parking (in September anyway). The landing is not usable at 1hr before and after low tide and it is a bit of a shallow slope at 1.5hrs after low tide. I had to have my truck wheels in the water up to the brake rotors which i don't like doing in order to get the boat to slide off the trailer. I have not had to do that at any of the other ramps I have used in the past and at high tide when we came back it went back on the trailer like usual.
We ran up to the city, tied up at Legal Harborside and got dinner. They have transient docks there that are $20hr first come first serve. There are nice docks but it was fairly rough due to the boat traffic in the harbor.
Then we cruised around the harbor a bit looking at the 3 cruise shits at the terminal and then heading up the Mystic river to Encore Boston. Encore has a small but nice inlet there that they have about 500ft of dock space at. It is $1.5ft per Hr. with no overnights. They had a 65ft Mangusta there on Saturday. You do need to clear a draw bridge to get to the casino. They have launches that run from the casino to the seaport docks, they are really nice MJMs.
