Rumson ramp is now $100. Just paid it. You must use the channel. At low tide if you come straight out there is an island that protrudes E-W from out of the water and you'll need wheels to get over the top of it. The stick channel exits into the main river right in front of the Ocean Bridge a few hundred yards further west of the ramp's langoon.

RUNNING WIRES:
I created a raceway to run wires aft and forward. Get some thin wall PVC tubing. 3/4 inch is ideal. Bigger if it'll fit. It can be glued or not glued in sections to fit underneath. And run the PVC between the seats and floor if you can. MUST be done on a warm day. The PVC is quite flexable. More so if heated. But when winter cold, it becomes extreme brittle and will snap.

I keep my 12 gallon fuel tank forward in the box to better balance the boat on plane. 12 gallon x 6#/gal= 72 pounds. Balancing my fat a*s in the back slightly for better planing.

My dual cycle battery, is kept within an ordinary black plastic battery box, is located aft under the O/B tiller and next to the bilge pump/switch. I have all my electronic equipment power lines going into the battery box.

Last year I installed a 6 position fuse block under the battery box lid and ran all the equipment, excluding the bilge pump, to the fuse block. Came out very clean.
