Re: Ozarks
My wife and I love it there. Just visit on a regular basis 3 seasons out of the year. Great people, warm water and a lot to keep busy. A lot of changes as more people are discovering this jewel. We love our condo on the lake and plan on someday retiring there.

Some Locals Don't Like To Call It Home In The Summer Due To The Hectic Nature Of Traffic, Waits At Rest., Etc. But That Is The Price Of 6k New Residents Per Year. If Looking To Buy A Boat, Most Say 36+ Foot For A Vee And A Good Sized Cat Or You Will Not Be Able To Take The Beating When It Is Busy. Mine Is 38 Foot And It Is Awesome. Great Poker Runs, Good (and Bad ) Marinas, And In General The People Are As Nice As You Will Meet Anywhere. We Boat On Lake Michigan Too And There Is No Comparison To The Warm Water And Friendly People. My .02. E-mail Me If Need Realtors Or Locations.

Re: Ozarks
I've looked at bigger boats for the Lake, but the ease of getting around the docks and slips at condos; as well as going to the restaurants and bars the 35 seems to be about the right size. It works for all but the most hectic weekends and it also depends on where you plan to boat on the Lake.
