Damn he hooks that turn hard!

Where did you guys put in? We were out at the show, launched out of East Chicago.

That was me in my 35. Wasn't as hard of a turn as it looks in video.
I was in burnham harbour for three days. Great show.

Looks like a fun place to run, is there a lot of debris?

OH YEAH. Especially after a good rain. I've seen 55 gallon drums, tires (one still on a rim!), and some huge trees in that river. Always have to keep a sharp eye out...the tug-and-barges are constantly kicking stuff up from the bottom as well.

I launched at Waukegan. I caught up with 32 vette at the show. We couldn't have asked for a nicer day on Lake Michigan. The lake was calm as could be, but there was tons-o debris on the river. No joke I some how was dragging the same branch twice and it never hit my prop... How does that happen? Certain areas are worst than others.

You must have been there on Sunday! Saturday was anything BUT calm on the lake. When we left it was a 4+ foot washing machine downtown. Fun water, but we got wet!
