no not in calgary,but look on the map and find kootenay lake in southeast british columbia,its about 4 hours away but you will think you have gone to boating heaven.the only drawback is the lake is coldbeacause it is glacier fed but some great boating,and a little further into bc there is okanagan lake and the shushwap lakes you would probably be the big dog on most lakes,but i think you maybe suprised at some of the hardware on any of the lakes.i am in regina saskatchewan and have a 21 outboard that runs around 90 and this year on labour day i got spanked twice,both by brand new cats,there is starting to be a lot more perf boats in the area,lots of young guys making well over 150k per year in the oil biz with nothing to do with it.

We delivered a 47 Outerlimits GTX to a customer in Calgary and there is no where close to run the boat. Clagary is not his primary residence but I think usually boats on Shuswap lake which is hours away

its not b.s. its all oilfield work,look into places like estevan sask,kindersley sask,weyburn sask,aberta has slowed some but saskatchewans oil biz is just coming into an upswing.i am in the car biz and i see all the pay stubs and credit apps.just sold a 2010 harley 350 crew cab over 65k to a 22 yr old who works in estevan for a company called presicion drilling,he put 35k down and financed the rest but the 35k was his bonus and his last year t4 was over 130k.but they do work hard and in pretty adverse conditions,but if you want it its out here,you just gotta work for it.
