I work for large shipping company here in Memphis. I know of a pilot with a 38 Cig. but other then that it's completely DEAD with serious powerboats.

Pickwick has a large amount of go fast boats and the place to gravitate to....even with Marinas....

Pier 57 is that Counce MS has...But a must to see.

Mississippi No activity at all by Memphis on Mississippi, however if you work in the City You could keep it right downtown under bridge at only Marina...Would be kinda neet.

But keep the go fast boat on the trailer and store it in Counce, TN...(Pickwick) then buy a beater of a car and drive 2 hrs to go real boating...
