Central Florida Lakes low!

JetJock · 06-24-2009, 01:53 PM

Was going to run my 38KV Scarab to do some quick checks on my new props-NO GO!....since the lakes around here are sooo low, can't even use the ramps as they end before the water! I will head to Cocoa Beach I guess next week.

Sigh.............

Where did you put in that the water was so low? Last week it was up, did they drain it down some? I am going to be going by buzzard beach on Lake Eustis in a few minutes I will check it out and report back.

Bob, you have a lot of go-fasts in this area.. I will be in New Symrna this weekend myself for the weekend, but I think we need to get a CFL group together and make a run SOON!!!

Hey Boostable..... We'll be in New Smyrna this weekend too. Plan to be out Saturday and Sunday. Look forward to seeing you!

Yeah, we should all get together sometime soon, we are going over to clear lake/houston, this weekend to play with all the go fast people over there. Anyone going to Destin in august for the poker run?

Lake Weir! VERY LOW, RAMP not good for anything over 29 feet. Lake Harris is much better, for some reason Lake Weir didn't fill up as much as the others, however I am sure the rain helped this last week.

27Fountain, when are you guys all leaving? we plan on leaving tuesday. meeting up with a bunch of friend from texas in destin on wednesday.

Jet,

Do you use the big ramp on the west side of the lake? If the water isn't up to that ramp that is unbelievable.. that is LOW!!! I would say I have never seen it that low... hope we don't have a sink hole on that lake!!

Destin is by far our favorite poker run.. Lots of running space, awesome water, and killer party... We would love to make it up again for that run!!! I will be up there end of July for a couple of days, at least I can enjoy it then..
