Re: Kerr Lake
? Speed boating? Are you asking if there are performance boats, or if there is speed limit?
A few friends go there occasionally but I don't recall many go-fasts. My father fishes bass tournaments there and they run over 80 regularly (no speed limits)
Hopefully someone more local can chime in for you.

Re: Kerr Lake
Thanks Guys. We are looking at relocating to the Lake Norman area and Kerr lake looked like it might be worth a trailering trip.
I understand it is about 3hrs away.

Kerr is also a very nice lake. I have only been on it once about five years ago and it is big and deep, but as mentioned above it is not developed. A great trip if you want to relax away from a crowd.

The wife and me had dinner last Friday night with a lot of boating buddies in the Winston area and a guy with a "Yellow" cat was talking trash about you!

A buddy of his I know likes to fish one particular cove but has to squeeze under a small bridge to get back there. One trip back there the water was high and he was watching for that bridge to appear. WHAM! he hit something and came to a complete stop......his motor hit the guardrail on that bridge!!!! If the watermark is at 295 or better you'll be good, anything less and be very very careful and the ramps start getting hard to use. Over 300, the water gets up into the trees.

Re: Kerr Lake
Several boats from the Richmond area go to Kerr lake. We plan on going a couple times this summer. I talked to Cignificant a couple of days ago and he has plans to be there for Memorial day weekend. Sometimes the weather can be iffy around then. If the forcast looks decent, I may go down for that weekend, also.
