Re: boating fever

It must be nice to live in the balmy south. We've still got a foot of ice and six inches of snow on the lake.

are you north of 7 near sharbot lake?
or further north past renfrew

Re: boating fever

We just bought a new Monterey 184FS. Now the two month wait for the lakes to thaw and the snow to melt . . . Sigh . . .

Like you people, we are finally getting close to Spring. These frigid 60's and 70's just cannot be called bikini weather.

Re: boating fever

Just came in from shoveling out the boat were the canvas colasped from all the snow. Tonight it's supposed to rain about 1" on top of the 8" of snow cover we have. Should be messy!!!

Re: boating fever

Am I the only one that casts a practice plug into the snow from the bow seat? Black rubber worms look cool going across the snow!

Re: boating fever

6 days till splash!!!!

I am going to lose my mind waiting, gonna finish the livewell install this morning, got all the holes in it last week and got the lights in but ran out of gumption when it came to the crawling under the deck part.

And I have another new toy, came into a Humminbird GPS/Sounder yesterday through work, haven't seen it yet to know what series it is but I can't imagine it matters since it is FREE!

Even the 3 series is pretty cool but I am hoping for a 500, turns out working for a boat company is not all bad.

Well off to the shop.

Re: boating fever

I was really getting spring fever today. It was 49'f and sunny, but we still have a foot of snow! Then the grand kids showed up and wanted to go tobogganing. Boy did we get wet.

Re: boating fever

64 here today and the ice is off the lakes. Too bad we still get nights in the low 20's. I hope I can splash in May.

Re: boating fever

Took advantage of the 80 degree weather this weekend and took the boat out on the river. Went and had lunch on the water. Then yesterday after getting home we took advantage of the extra day light and cleaned up the interior of the boat. Just waiting on my 303 protectant to treat the upholstery. Now to get that water to warm up.

Re: boating fever

They don't relize we have heaters in our boats and count Dorys to sleep

LOL Dude your such a newb!!

Give it a couple seasons and you will be in your boat, in the driveway, with a sprinkler going in January...



I was last week too, kinda funny when the neighbors are taking pictures of their idiot neighbor in his shorts with 6" of snow on the ground sitting in the boat listening to kid rock "All summer long" a Corona in one hand and a wash rag in the other, couldn't use the detailing spray though it was still frozen....
