[QUOTE=Lofty;3659462]
The only lake I've never boated on in California. My wife keeps threatening to rent a house some summer up there. How is it, good boating, cold water, etc.? I won't take the offshore to Tahoe anymore, too much work and a rough haul up the grade. Never mind that it's so cold the kids dont want to swim.
I had never heard of it until we were invited by friends with a house there. Great to be there with friends who know literally everyone there - awesome people and atmosphere.
The water is a bit cold at times but nowhere near Tahoe temperatures. Beautiful houses on the water, great boating, lax attitude. The wind does tend to kick up at times during the afternoon. The altitude is not a high as Tahoe but propping down is reccomended. The lake doesn't have many smaller coves to hang out in however. Overall, it's definately worth the trip. You'll love it.

I think it is a Vector.
And I agree with Tom A. less is more, I do like the look of most of the boats in this thread, I like a normal paint job, not too over the top, just like the Donzi in post #46 (candy apple red), sharp.
I don't mind a name on side, old school style, like the 27' Magnum and 35' Cigarette pictured below.

Gotta love the old "plane SR1's
my old 242
current 271 SR1
have noticed in recent years the solid colors are back, somewhere there is a solid maroon Cig around maybe someone has a pic of it, probably three~four years old, I was in love with it
