That is one of the best looking 245s I have seen. Very nice. I was going to do a 1 piece hatch like that but I talked myself out of it due to weight and accessibility concerns. Good luck!

Yea me too!!

Where the heii is Mattoon at ? Never mind I found it. Is that a pretty nice lake by ya?

Lake Shelbyville is pretty nice. 11,000 acres. There is little development as it is an Army Corps lake. 3 marinas, 1 bar and a resort. Lots of nice hardware on it. A lot of people drive down from Chicago. It is a short 20 minute drive for me and of course there is a party cove that is fairly happening most of the time. 30 - 40 boats on the weekend, holidays there may be over 200. I'm too drunk to count them.

Typical

Gettin the tub back from the shop friday. Needed a new carb and a shifter attitude adjustment. Water level at the lake is just about right and the dock repairs are done.

Here's a little party we have about 3 times a year down here in Bayou Country...... the next one is 3 June,2007, come on down we call them a Lake Bash...

Looks like you better have a full cooler, cause once your there your there till the end. Awsome shot.

My 245's new engine!! Hope to finish tomorrow, also added a stock BBC oil cooler.

Here's a pic of our hoopty ride.
