Lake Champlain 2011
 

Time to start another of our yearly threads...

Who's going to the boatshow in Miami???

While the boats are stored and on stilts!

Was passing time looking at a video this morning of a ride this fall...

Malletts Bay Cut to Valcour Island and back in 8 minutes... That was fun and not very eventfull... That's good.

About 14 miles in 8 minutes...

Anyone else chime in...

You do make things happen GL. I love that about you.

Good stuff GL

the mut didnt go south this year?

if someone wants to pay for my flight, hotel, food, booze, hookers and penecilin shot i'd go to miami :)

i gotta pay for a boat instead of any trips this year :evilb:

Well if you need help for those I'll help, never mind the trip!!!!

"Milk Run"?? Charity run to support the cows ?:kiss: I'm In !!

If GL is running his '496hp's' guess I'll use my 4.3 MAG EFI 's.

the wife says i need to stay away from hookers...i'm not sure why lol

I meant HO's!

You coming Kelly?

Anthony & Brothers/ 38 nor-tech vee/ 525's

ummm can we start a smaller boat list? lol....

Slinky/29' something/ big block something? LOL

Yep, anything for the bovines !

Slinky better stay away from your HO's.

but what fun would that be? :drink:

No ice on the big lake this year again. I thought for sure this weekend was it, but then the wind came. Big waves this morning chasing any ice to shore.

But some really big trees frozen in the ice, that will find their way offshore this spring.

Look what showed up in Barrys back lot.

That is one sad sad picture!!!!

thats the one thats going to be auctioned at barret jackson right?

I believe it already has been.

Not even shrink wrapped for transport this time of year?That's ridiculous.

Hope it was winterized.

so where is it now?

That's the back lot @ Barry's Transmission on Williston road in South Burlington.

We spent almost a week up there last year great lake. Would like to spend more time and venture up to Canada this year!

This thread gets real active in the summer. next time you come up check it out I'm sure somone will want to hook up and show you around.

I think I saw this boat at the Miami show last year or the year before styled after a vette good looking ride. That`s a shame.

Boating soon...

This morning...

well atleast snowboarding is holding me over! Cant wait for boating season this year! :drink:

I think the snow has finally ended.

calling for more on thursday!

Went to Jay Peak yesterday and played in all the snow...i've still got some snowboarding left but i'm really getting ready to get out on our soon to be new rig!

Glad someone can get out and enjoy it all. Jay is awesome.

What did you finally get for a boat?

29 Scarab that most of you have probably seen on the lake. nothing is completely finalized yet but only by some crazy act of nature would we not buy it lol... we surveyed it and droollled over it and going this weekend to put a down payment on it. Its a small upgrade from the 21ft four winns we had last summer.

nah thats really a nice up grade it will feel hugh at 1st. so congrats:coolcowboy:, what power? oh when I went from a 20 footer to my 24 ol the nose seem long as hell for the 1st year:D . then every two years after we made it go faster. now I hope to feel the same way with the saber 28 =longer and faster too. the 24 has been in storage since the drive and alot of other parts were stolen in spring of 07. thats when I was recoverying from one of the 7 operations I had in the last 5 years. I decided to go big after that had the blower motor built, then got a konrad ace drive since the new b1x would not work, then friends from here thought I was nuts putting it in a 24 so I bought the 28 and they still think I'm nuts:party-smiley-004:. well almost got it finished last aug but, I found a leak in the gas tank so everything had to come out . then the tank had to be cut out new one made plus another surgery:eek: so I hope to have the new tank in by april. once thats done if we try hard it should be done a week after the tank. I would love to come up there, I'll bring knot right Gerry with me since its a pain to truck the 46 turbine on the non tilt trailer. and Ice with his new 38tg maybe slickstinger too and a few more guys jon Audiofn and kurt from maine. then maybe some of you guys will come to the fallriver pokerrun in aug this year. its been getting bigger every year like it was in the late 90s early 2000s . so I'll keep checking here to see whats up. Art

Congrats. Your four winns will seem like an inflatable raft by comparison :lolhit: You'll get a lot more use out of it, especially when those mean winds blow up.

that was what we wanted, was something that would cut through the waves when its windy, cause you know its rarely ever windy around here lol

We went from a 21 Baja to a 29 Outlaw. Was a huge step.
Had a blast for about 8 yrs then jumped another 10 feet!
To the T/S.
Forget the 3ft idis chit. We you do it do it BIG!

haha i'm hoping the 29 will hold us over for a few years, atleast until the wife gets a better job so i can quit working lol

SOme of you boys have met me up at champlain before with my 26 sutphen. Everyone seemed to really like the boat up there so I am hoping to get up there this year again with my 31 sutphen. Hoping to see more of the lake this time.

Maybe I can get some of the CPBA members to do a trip up.

really enjoy the lake when I am up that way. you guys need to do a run!
