The plan is to launch the boat Saturday afternoon the 6th near the western end of Sandusky Bay at a friends condo, and drive it over to Put-In Bay while the wife takes the Jeep over on the ferry. Other than that, the schedule's wide open (allowing, of course, for family reunion-type stuff). We're staying in some (basic) cottages on the northeast corner of the island, since most of my relatives don't want to spend big $$$. I can't wait. |
Re: All you Lake Erie OSO'ers....
C spray - What did you do, buy a 28' Batboat? Or is Chris renting those?
I was at Chris' shop a few times about 2 years ago, and he had one of the 28' pleasure versions there - I don't recall if he was also building a 28' race version. Helluva nice guy. |
Re: All you Lake Erie OSO'ers....
Bouyhunter - I bought my 28 from Volvo Penta in 1997. It's a true Swedish Mannerfelt, laid up and vacuum bagged with epoxy and Kevlar. Unfortunately, I've got it so far apart for some cleanup and re-rigging that it looks like I won't have it done, so we're back to the idea of bringing the 382. Looks like I have some decent deals on transport lined up, but it still will be considerably more than it would be to tow the Batboat myself.
So - who's going to be around that week??? |
Re: All you Lake Erie OSO'ers....
Chuck, I want pictures of tubers being pulled by the 382! :drink:

Re: All you Lake Erie OSO'ers....
SOX - is that your's or C-spray's.
Nice boat - very cool. How wide is that thing from wing tip to wing tip?? Any problem when trailering (due to width?) (or "lift" for that matter) :D |
Re: All you Lake Erie OSO'ers....
It's C_Spray's :D I do have his old Blue and white Ebbtide on that web site though.

Scraped the port wing on several tollbooths over the years. No problem with lift. Or drag - tows easier that a 21' bowrider. Anyway - Who's going to be around between the 6th and the 13th? We're planning at least one trip into Toledo and down to Rossford, and an around-islands tour or two. |
