    Hi.

    I spotted a slip next to bridge in Ballyforan and was just wondering would it be suitable for standard car to launch lake boat there? (few years ago i noticed suck being quite shallow there) if not would someone recommend better spot?

    MARCIN there is a slipway in ballinasloe at the Moycairn pub and restaurant.
    Its about 2 minute drive outside the town itself.
    My mate said it was steepish and abit akward but he would be launching a big 19ft lake boat.
    They built a marina in the town itself but never built a slip way goons.

    thanks a lot.
    I'll keep it as backup (really want to check out depth and bottom at ballyforan fragment). And slipway in Ballyforan looks brand new. I wanted just to make sure that there is deep enough - but hope no one build slipway on shoal....
    Ps also heard on slipway in Lismany.
