Airport
Ramp told us to stop at Spot 7; we did. Ground eventually gave us taxi instructions. We went out single engine and couldn't get moving from Spot 7 due to a very large low spot/indention/hole right at Spot 7. Ground even asked us if we were stuck in the hole; so they are well aware of it. I had to start the second engine to get out of the hole; even applying an abnormal amount of power to get out of it with both engines running. You need to do several things; first put a note on the airport pages that says DO NOT SET. Secondly the airport needs to fix this. Thirdly; in the meantime prior to it being fixed; preferably with concrete not asphalt again; is to instruct ramp to have aircraft hold at either Spot 8 or Spot 6 to avoid this hole.
Air carrier Captain reported parking ramp deterioration at BOS airport caused taxi issues requiring high breakaway thrust to be used.
