I'm moving there also, my fiancee and I will be arriving on August 8th. We are doing the same exact thing, renting for 3 months then buying. We spent a lot of time looking down there and the place that fits us the best is Fleming Island. Its an awsome area and is literally surrounded by water. We are renting an apartment on Fleming Island so that we have more time to look for a house. Won't have the Cat down there until Winter, but that is still boating season down there!
The area where Argyle Forest Road, and Old Middleburg Road crosses is really booming. I drove up there today to check out a Home Depot we will be working on next week
All this construction is right on that corner. After I got home, I had to hurry up and get a proposal together for a Panda Express that's right on that corner. It's funny, right when I was pulling up to HD, I called Debbie to ask her if any blueprints came in today. She told me four came in, and I was hoping it was that Panda in Jax. It was, so I asked her what the address was on it. It was right about where I was sitting when I talked to her.
I'd think about moving to Jax, but from here I can cover Jax, Daytona, Orlando, and south to Vero Beach easily.

Once in a blue moon I will be on Lk Monroe, usually testing props and such. I need to get back up to Silver Glen way one day soon, but I am having too much fun in the ocean! I like to put in at the Canveral Inlet ramp next to Sunrise Marine and the Tiki Bar. Orange County busted me 
for having my boat in the front yard so I found a good storage place in Christmas near 95 to move the boat to since I boat mainly that way. Where do you get out at usually? And I think I've seen you towing your boat a time or two...

Welcome to town! The Jacksonville Performance Boat Club (JPBC) meets the second Wednesday of each month at the Florida Tackle and Gun Club at 7pm. Typically we have 1 or 2 events a month on the water. We've got a cookout/raft up going on this Saturday that should be fun. I'll send you a PM with more contact information.

Boomer where you want to live in jax has to do with where you are working. Crossing the river to get to work adds 20 to 30 mins to commute. What part of town are you going to be working? If downtown I would look at Fleming Island or Ortega If southside I would look Mandrin, Nocatee or Pondre Vedra
