I spent a summer in Minneapolis a couple of years ago, had no idea they had that much going on on the water around there. I would have been mooching rides like crazy. Did get drunk at a bar/resteraunt on Minnetonka one night though....

Tonka is my home lake and we love it.

40MPH daytime, 20MPH at night.

One caution: At night the primary hot spot, Lord Fletchers, is swarming with Sheriff Boats. If you are loud, you WILL be pulled over.

I have been hassled very little during the day the last couple years. There has been an increase in accidents, so the Sheriff has stepped up patrols. Mostly going after jet skiis, gun-whale riding and, curbing underage drinking at Big Island. It's provided a nice cover for speed and noise.

Let me know if I can offer you any assistance. We'd like to hook-up with you.

Usually in the hudson cove about 50 feet off the first island north of the 94 bridge or in the ski bay

Watch out for Fred Smoot and the rest of the Vikings

What boat is yours? Ive got an old 24' formula, teal and white.

I hang out with a 36 outlaw (outlawed) white with the purple baja graphics, 35 chris craft stinger (injustice II), and I own an older 25 baja that is baby blue and royal blue. 651-246-1204

Thanks for the replies. We will be making this trip August 3 and plan on going to the St Croix. Hope to meet up with some of you. I have a 30' all white Checkmate. A little unusual as there are no graphics on the boat.

fred's back with the red......skins,but you can be sure "good timin brad childress" will be out there,and since culpepper won't be playing in he nfl again he might come back

Haha, I think your boat is a little more unusual because of the drive and motor that is in it! Hope to see you out on the Croix.

The 50 foot Nor-tech is Marks boat and its down at his house on the south side of Cape Coral, FL now. Its a pretty bad ass boat, unfortunately I haven't talked him into giving me a ride in it yet.
