Put In Bay, a great boating destination
 

has just got better. From my home on Lake Erie I can see the famous land mark monument that towers over the modest island of Put In Bay or otherwise known as South Bass Island in the western basin of Lake Erie. For you not familair with this Island, it is the home of the longest bar in the world @ 412 ft. I have probably sat on every seat at one time or another.

Now the tiny popular drinking island filled with men chasing women and women chasing men is getting the notariety of another Guiness record:

World's largest swim up bar going in at P-I-B

Construction has begun on the world's largest swim up bar between The Islander Inn & Grand Islander Hotel at Put-in-Bay.

The complex, called SPLASH!, will have more than 110 seats in the water, encompass over 9,000 square feet and will feature a second floor entertainment deck. The deck is surrounded by the pool below and is visible to everyone in the water.

Construction is being done by Janotta & Herner of Monroeville, with the complex slated to open May 25 of this year.

You won't be alone Rog, we'll be there with you too! Prefer Kelley's much more........good grief, I am old, aren't I? :eek:

Re: Put In Bay, a great boating destination
 

Sounds like a nice addition. I plan on being up there much more often this year w/the new boat :drink:

I liked the Casino too. I'll be hanging there w/ya'll quite a bit. PIB is pretty touristy for me. Maybe on a week day... I really liked overnighting on Middle Bass last year at the state docks. More my speed... guess I'm getting old too.

We'll help keep you company Roger :drink: :evilb: :drink:

Re: Put In Bay, a great boating destination
 

Put-In Bay
I have way too much to say about this place. Don't go there alone if you are married. If you're just dating, what happens at P.I.B stay at ...
I've had some crazy times out there.
Only been arrested there once - I actually have the ticket framed on my lounge wall. I only spent about an hour in, but any longer it would have sucked. I went straight back to the Roundhouse

:drink:

Re: Put In Bay, a great boating destination
 

Yep got one of Jim's done, cold ride but we were on the water!!!!! To the bayyyyyy :drink: :drink:

Re: Put In Bay, a great boating destination
 

WE DID GREG'S PORT DRIVE IN APRIL OF 2001 AND HIS STAR IN JUNE 2001. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THIS BOAT HAS BLOWER ENGINES, THEY TEND TO BE HARDER ON TRS UNITS. IT MIGHT BE TIME TO REPLACE THE LOWER GEAR SETS DUE TO PINION FATIGUE. THEN AGAIN I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH RUN TIME IS ON THE BOAT AT THIS POINT. I WOULD DEFINITELY DROP THE GEAR LUBE AND GET AN OIL SAMPLE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY WEAR. I WOULD STILL TAKE A TRS OVER A BRAVO ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
