Re: Ozarks
 

What to do depends on what you like to do. I hope you have a decent size boat if you are going on a Holiday weekend.

here's a thread with info as well.http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...d.php?t=145715

I have a 24 outlaw. Will i survive?

Re: Ozarks
 

You will be OK until the crowd gets there for the 4th.

Where are you staying at the 4MM?

Re: Ozarks
 

Your boat will be fine. I had a 24 and never felt scared in it. Make sure to use your tabs in the rough stuff so it flies level.

Re: Ozarks
 

hey mentalpause, I'm relocating to LOTO next year. Is my 26 howard cat going to be to small for LOTO as some have told me??? thanks for any Info

Re: Ozarks
 

You'll survive. It won't be a very pleasant ride when it gets really rough though. I had a 24 OL also about 5 years ago and had it at LOTO over many holidays.

Re: Ozarks
 

i agree that you will survive and if you are lucky the e-dockers will be there for the 4th because one is a good chiropractor from my understanding and you will need one. good news is the 4th falls mid week so it will not have that heavy one solid weekend effect and during the week of the 4th will be a geat time to see how beautiful the lake is.

Re: Ozarks
 

Any weekday you will be fine. Every weekend, you want a bigger boat. Judge for yourself. These are from after the Shootout.

Re: Ozarks
 

As far as where to go???????

Party Cove...of course

Night life.......Topsider, Shooters, Dog Days, Horny Toad, Bayou Bills

adult entertainment(by land).....The Eclipse :D

Restaurants on the water are everywhere. I have found very few that I would not go back to, but have a dozen or so that I prefer.

Re: Ozarks
 

Grif that looks ugly for my 26,lol. guess I better start looking for a 32-36 cat.

Re: Ozarks
 

Yep - what Griff said. You will be fine during the week and OK on many weekends. The holidays and shootout are rough on everyone and punishing to the smaller boats.

Re: Ozarks
 

I would never want to be in a 24ft boat at LOTO on a weekend not to mention a holiday. I have a 33ft which weighs over 10,000 lbs with fuel and it gets a little harry on some weekends. You will not die but the ride will not be comfortable for you or any of your passengers. Its getting to the point on the weekends that you need a 35+ ft cruiser to have any type of decent ride and still can be a little bumpy.

Re: Ozarks
 

This has to have been taken from the Stoneledge Condo ......the jail break right after the shootout is over!!! Best surfing in the mid-west right there !!!

Re: Ozarks
 

I think so, not my pic, copied from another site. I was on Stone Ledges dock after the Shootout 2 years ago. There were waves coming over the 6' high wave breaker.

Is this the boat on the Howard website.
Let me know if you have it and I heard it may be for sale.
