Re: Memorial day Weekend on St. Johns River
We are going out this coming weekend and stay saturday night on the boat.I gotta do an all night A/C & genny workout to see how she handles our abusiveness.. I think we got two more big cruisers coming out.We did go out two weekends ago when it rained real bad..the Glen is Low..The Lake is Low...I mean LOW.From the idle marker in the lake to the mouth of the run of the Glen it was 2-3 feet at best.BUT still I couldn't make myself stay out on the lake.The wind the idiots...Not to mention the good stuff starts when the sun drops...The 40 ramp can be a PITA if your not good with the sticks.You also gotta be a bit cautious of the "day boaters"..Rude is a word that comes to mind..

You probably saw us..we had a 29PC Formula Cruiser and my 26 Crownline...I've got a shaved head but I was sporting the cap..We got there about 7pm sat and left around 1ish Sunday.

I took out at Astor around 7pm, so I'm not sure I remember a Forumla PC but a Crownline does sound familiar. The people begging for help "Gas" were beached on the southside of the run across from a house boat or two and a little Stingray. They brought no money, no CC's and no common sense. They got crab trap line around their prop and came to me begging for tools and help just as I started my motor to leave.

Re: Memorial day Weekend on St. Johns River
I came back by myself..we had the dinghy behind the boat the entire way across the lake..it sucked.
Funny, as I pulled into the Glen I to got line wrapped around my drive.Enough to stall the motor in reverse everytime..not fun.Along with 1 friggin bad battery out of two...1st trip with her and a loooong list of fixes when I got home..all done now.The best included a trim-tab switch that was lying to me...made for an interesting corner lean angle in the river.
I remember someone talking about the little boat that ran out of gas...Hmm...My Crownline is ALL(most are striped under the rubrail) white with a green top.

Andy or Shor,
Did you guys see what the SR44 boat ramp looked like, as far as depth? That is the ramp we are going to use while staying @ Hontoon's?
Thanks,
Dean
