Would like to put together a powerboat club at lake of the ozarks for the purpose of promoting social activities, apparel sales, boating products, ie ropes buoys, cleaning products, Sponsors for reduced fuel prices, winterizing and dewinterizing, mechanical work, repainting, gelcoat, boat cleaning. "Plan social get togethers, plan poker runs and set up plans and travel together for poker runs, have representation on future boating laws, potential sound laws, speed limits, no wake zones, also want to offer boating classes and maintenance schedule education for proper boating without problems, I can get bar participation for drink specials, logos, hoist and dock specials, I think its about time loto has a club like florida and some of the other powerboat states.We will have our own website for communication and event scheduling, I believe we would get alot of participation as the entire lake area continues to grow in powerboat numbers. The classes would be coast guard and water patrol approved and a representative could be present on boat education and ediquette, and also to check our boats to make sure they are legal and comply with all current laws and regulations so we can all boat without hassle, a team sticker would identify members and show safety class and approved coast gaurd compliance certification on yearly bases. fees initially would be 250-300$ but would come with alot of cost saving benefits and knowledge as well as friendship and potential business connections with all the members.The florida powerboat club is very strong and offers it members alot of benefits. email or call me if we can put a group together to start this. I have about 6 people now ready to go. thanks Jim Midwest performance marine. 636 236-4141

There is a harbor hop in 2 weeks we could get everyone together there and just see what kind of interest there is. If anyone has a good idea and time to meet we can put it together pretty quickly. let me know and well all meet for a quick chat and cold brew. also since insurance is getting out of hand maybe our safety certification may have some influence with some of the maJOR INSURANCE carriers or we could get a group rate from a insurance sponsor and save us some premium dollars, especially the cat owners, usually with large groups companies will put together a special program, especially since everyone is committed to safety and will be well informed on safety issues, would go a long way in controlling our insurance costs.jim

You can count me in. Only issue I have is the condo is for sale and the new house will not be done until 4th quarter. And the new boat will also not be done until late 3rd or early 4th quarter.

So not sure how much I will be down this season. But maybe there will be a few things I can help out on.
