different lakes have different regulations... do a google search. there are lakes around there, but i don't know what kind of boat you will be putting in there. hopefully something small (and an outboard).

if you put these coordinates in google, do you think i could back a boat into this lake without a problem, anybody know what this is? I just want to hear it run,

No idea what that is - why not drive over there and find out? You're right next to it.

Definitely find somewhere to actually drive the boat, not just back it into the water and hear it run, you can do that on muffs or in a 55 gal container. You want to know how it performs at WOT and under load after it's warmed up to operating temp. There's probably one close though, as I can't imagine the guy owning a boat with no place to use it.

I bought my boat from Boat&RV Superstore in Hamburg, PA and they took me to a lake about 30 minutes away for the trial. Call or stop in and I'm sure they can tell you what lake they use.
