Re: Twin Cities Starmada Get Together

Congratulations Chuck!

I pulled the carb apart last night and it's in need of a little more than what the rebuild kit came with. I'm going to run and see if I can find the parts I need and get it back together today. Sorry I'm going to miss the outing but if I want to get her in the water yet this year I have to work on her when I can.

Have fun out there guys!

Hey guys -

It was great to meet you two and your little ones - seeing how happy the kids are in these boats makes all the work worth it. Doesn't it?

Sorry we didn't get to meet you Toast - next time.

Hopefully next time you guys get a look at my boat she'll be a little prettier!

Yip...looks like fun!

The more I see those Islanders on the water the more I want one. I think I need a Cuddy Starcraft...

Im in!! Just give me a heads up so I can plan to be there. Ive been to Minnetonka 3 times this year alreads, Lake Mille Lacs once, heading up to Lake Winne in late august or early/mid september, and around the east side of the cities quite a bit. I also got my engine problems solved SOOO I wont be untrailering and retrailering like last year this year! Although, I did put on a show of how to launch and land your boat to those $30,000 boat owners! :p haha

We should plan a day of it rather that an hour out and back. Those that can make it in the am - great!, those in the afternoon - great and those all day - great! Id be there most of the day. We could do some early morning fishing, spend the the hot part of the day swimming from the boats, tubing, etc and then for those late folks fish again! (Again, you could join for any part or parts of the day!)

Here is a list of lakes, not in any certain order!:

1. Minnetonka -West
2. Prior Lake - south west
3. Forest Lake - north east
4. White Bear Lake - north east
5. Lake Billsby - cannon falls - south east
6. Medicine Lake - West
7. Lake Johanna - Arden HIlls - North
8. Lake Waconia - WAY west



Id go to any one of them... but open to additional ideas!

Chuck

Hey!

Papa (or EZ would suffice I guess... :p) you should rename this to Minnesota Starmada Get Together. Dont want anyone thinking this is inclusive to Twin Cities folks!

Re: Twin Cities Starmada Get Together

ALRIGHT! Here is the date:

September 15th or 16th (Sat or Sund) on Minnetonka. Launch time 8am for those fishing, lunch at Grey's Bay at 11 (Bring your own beer and meat), and then swimmgin, tubing, and general consumption of drinks at Scouts bay (same island as Big Island but around the corner where it is more family friendly).

I plan to show up to fish at 8 with at least my 6 year old for walleye's (either trolling or drifting lindy's or bottom bouncers), will bring some chips and some salad to share at 11 and a grill to grill up brats, and then will be tubing and swimming until 4 or so. Im planning to make it an entire day. FYI - I just bought a used Big Mable tube (2 seater) so that will be behind the boat as Im burning gas!

Post here if you can come (You should!) and what time(s) you plan on being there.

We can change the date if majority rules.

Chuck!

You most definetly should! It doesnt matter if you come out for the entire day or part of the day, just come on out. Once I get confirmation from people that they are coming to the starmada outing Ill send along my phone # :eek: so that we can hookup. Best part about any get together is getting the fleet, captains, co captains, deck swabs, admirals, etc all in one pic for posting! Also fun to share stories and see our rigs in person!

I am sure losdinspace will come if the day works out, Paparoof came last year to the first annual event and we consider him the local grand puba because he has the largest....boat!? StarcraftSS has expressed interest and there was one more last year that also expressed interest. I'm hoping we can get at least 4 boats out, the more the merrier! Anyway we can top them PA Starmadians the best (see picture in the on the water thread).

Second Annual get together planning underway!

Count me in. Saturday or Sunday doesn't matter, I'll just need to give work notice if we decide on Sat.

I'm in for either day also. Greys bay works well to launch.
