I have a 42' Lightning on Lake Michigan at Winthrop Harbor. Come out anytime and I'll do my best to keep you from falling too far behind. No promises though...

We've got an 89 10 mtr. We put in almost every weekend "weather permitting" at Diversy. Ran the chain only one week back in june of 02 when we installed the new engines in it at a marima up there that my buddy was running.
After going out 3 times, and coming back with clogged water pressure lines, and a BIG nick in one of the SSM props, I said "never again" at least with my boat.
Those speedy props are way too expensive to ruin in that shallow water.
Always lookin for some new boats to play with. You should look into joining our club "Chicago Powerboat Club" we will have a display next weekend at Scott Shogrens Fountain booth at the Chicago boat show. Reggie and Wyatt will be there on saturday, and we will be having a party at Dave and Busters sat night with Reggie being the guest speaker. Hope you can attend, we will be playing the videos from all of our poker runs from this past summer.
