I have a 42' Lightning on Lake Michigan at Winthrop Harbor. Come out anytime and I'll do my best to keep you from falling too far behind. No promises though... :)

Are you related to Nielson Power Sports??

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

no, but i used to work for them....

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

Still on Lake Mich...sorta, will visit the chain for a victory cruise next spring if the water level is higher than normal for a weekend.

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

We've got an 89 10 mtr. We put in almost every weekend "weather permitting" at Diversy. Ran the chain only one week back in june of 02 when we installed the new engines in it at a marima up there that my buddy was running.
After going out 3 times, and coming back with clogged water pressure lines, and a BIG nick in one of the SSM props, I said "never again" at least with my boat.
Those speedy props are way too expensive to ruin in that shallow water.
Always lookin for some new boats to play with. You should look into joining our club "Chicago Powerboat Club" we will have a display next weekend at Scott Shogrens Fountain booth at the Chicago boat show. Reggie and Wyatt will be there on saturday, and we will be having a party at Dave and Busters sat night with Reggie being the guest speaker. Hope you can attend, we will be playing the videos from all of our poker runs from this past summer.

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

tnks...you'll do fine...start savings for bigger and faster...It's gonna get you sooner or later. :evilb:

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

Here's the best-looking (and most-photographed) Fountain out of Hammond, baby. N DOCK represent! (ok, so my dock sucks :( ).

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

Why don't you just pony up and move to "T" dock.....BZ


poss. then my Fountain can get in some of the pictures....

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

Haven't moved up there yet 'cuz I'm cheap! But everyone we knew on N has gone away (marriages, divorces, deaths, etc).

If you want more pics of your boat, you should run BEHIND me instead of IN FRONT of me!

For the uninitiated, Bob Z doesn't have throttles like the rest of us, he has an ON/OFF switch. If it's running, it's running all out!

We should get a group shot of all the CPC 35's together...kind of like that one of all the old Flat-Deck Cigs they did...
BZ, Leo, B-rad, Candyman and me...it'd be cool.

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

Good idea!!!! :drink:

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

I am in but someone is going to have to be great with photo-shop to get them all together. because mine is in a Garage.....LOL BZ

Re: Calling All Illinois Fountains
 

im sure that someone can make it look like its in the water :evilb:
