He likes to boat .. anything Retter well you aint boating you`re fixing or waiting or broken promises, or excuses.
Dealing with Retter is a fuc king nightmare, he`s such a liar.

Thanks Ice I'll add that to my list of places to go see. Im supposed to check in that Wednesday but Im calling Margaritaville tomorrow and see if we can check in Monday.

Bridal Cave is neat and is on the way Haha Tonka State Park by both land and water. https://mostateparks.com/park/ha-ha-tonka-state-park
Personally, I'd leave both on the back burner for a day when the weather might not be so great and drive there by car. You can do both in about 3 hours then.
HHT is TON of walking if you go by boat and want to see everything. If you go by car, you can drive from one main spot in the park to another without a 2 mile uphill walk

I didn`t know about the Tonka state park, looks interesting.

Called Margaritaville and added 2 more days. Monday to Monday. Listening to y'all thats the only way Im going to be able to see everything. It will be nice to do some exploring before all HELL breaks lose!! Man Im super excited to get to see the big boats run!

All is can say is Go Easy on the Pain in th AzZes lol but dont forget the Floater

If you go by boat just make sure you make a wide swing into the Ha Ha Tonka state park cove. It gets a bit shallow at entry. Don't miss the entry to Ha Ha Tonka, shortly after that entrance you will be in a river bed you wish you weren't in. There is a spring that feeds the lake at the back of the cove. I gave up jumping in it years ago, but the kids always liked it. It's a refreshing 55 degree dip. Wife and I still go down to that area from the 4MM once or twice a year. Just a nice long cruise and great scenery once you get in the Niangua arm.

Could have been someone telling me that with no clue what they were talking about. Lot of BS stories float around about others boats down here. Retter rebuilt a 496 for me thru Schrock and shortly thereafter Schrock stopped using them due to things not being done as represented. I can’t remember if the issue was with Ryan or his brother. Shame as not many engine builders in these parts. I will say the engine ran fine for the 3 seasons I had it after the rebuild. Only had to address a minor oil leak.

Eddienel have you hooked up with anyone to go on a ride? I know you are bringing your boat but I am sure others here as well as myself would be happy to take you for a ride.
