What dock you on? I keep a boat at four winds.... I dock. Was there last week and they are totally remodeling the whole hotel.

I can't wait. I have planning the spring boat repairs all winter. There is nothing better than a hot sunny day and a cold beverage out on a boat - Heaven!

I make a great first mate, if anyone is interested.

I can't wait to take Leeloo out (my kayak). I've been looking to get the GF a kayak on CL so she can join me too.

+1 on the kayak, I picked up one on a black Fri. sale last Nov. 25th & can't wait to get it in the water.

I hate this damn show. It just gets me going way to early. Don't get me wrong I will be out there at least 2 days but man it makes me anxious to get back on the water. Plus I always spend way to much money there too.

We go to Monroe every weekend (weather permitting) and are planning a few trips to Cumberland this summer.
At Monroe we put in at Paynetown and go to the dam when we have our son, and on Adult days we head straight to Allans Creek.
At Cumberland we go to no place in particular. We always rent cottages/cabins. On the northeast end of the lake, we will generally stay near Burnside and go hang out at Echo Point. If we go to the south end, we usually stay at Alligator 2. Then we will go to Harmon Creek, 76 falls, or just chill in a cove. We will probably go to the Poker Run out of State Dock in Sept. I hear there is one in early summer out of Lees Ford, but I don't know how good it is. BTW, is Mardi Gras still the third Sat. in August?

Speaking of repairs and upgrades... Does anyone have any recommendations for a good mechanic/electrician to work on boats in central IN? I want a few electrical things checked out and am wanting to "invest" in some stereo upgrades.

Got my boat out on Tippy a couple weeks ago when it opened up. Had a good time but no fish?? Will be headed out on Lake Michigan for some perch in the next few weeks.

We are on E dock slip 42 and BIL is in 44 near the end of the dock

Sounds like we need a RAFT up at Monroe, ORRE what do you want to do electric wise I can send you some pics of what I have in my boat and some others that I have done. We are running a 1800 watt amp with 2 10 inch MTX subs, 4 MTX 2 way with satellite tweeters and 4 6 inch three way speakers. It rocks everything is on its own channel so you can get the directional sounds.

Nothing to elaborate. We have a 25' tri-toon and I was wanting to hang some 3 way outdoor speakers off the tow bar in back (for listening while floating/swimming), which may or may not need amplified, and switching out/ adding additional inboard speakers. So I'm open to suggestions. I'm not interested in trying to be louder than anybody in the cove, but It would be nice to be able to drown out the other crap in my immediate vicinity..

I boated for many years. Went every weekend from April to October and spent a week at Cumberland every year. I had a 30' cigarette with twin 454's. Now That I'm older I fly instead of boat. Because my wife is scared of water.

We usually stay at Lee's Ford on Memorial Day weekend, it's one of the nicer ramps on Cumberland. When we go down for the 4th and Labor Day we always stay at Lake Pointe Resort and launch from Alligator 2. The ramps not as "launch friendly" at Alligator but the access to the main lake is better.

As for speakers, I'm running 2 pair of Infinity waketower speakers, 2 6" alpines, and 2 MTX subs powered by 3 seperate amps. From what I've experienced the Infinity tower speakers are expensive but better quality than others.

Boating is a good reason to own a Glock! And maybe a lanyard for it.

I'm in Bonita Springs right now and that is a good idea. Might try sailing.
