I run a 85' yacht based in chicago during the summer, this yr may be the first we dont had back to the great lakes. The trip back to the atlantic in October was difficult than, couldnt get in to my normal marinas along the way do to no water.

bet your wish'in ya got the trailer with it now arent ya

Gimme Fuel

Yea, my usual launches are either filled with silt, the docks are too short by the time the boat floats off the trailer, or you drop your trailer tires off of the edge of the slab. I probably won't be able to get my boat next to the dock at the family cottage on Saginaw Bay either even though we dredged heavily 4-5 years ago. There is no water at the edge of the dock in the cottage cuts. Main channel might be ok if I just launch and go out. But I hate taking out labbed props. 248 deadrise and single bravo isn't good in the shallows. I also frequent the Saginaw River. Most of the launches are still usable with a 16' tin boat. Probably have to launch out of Bay City harbors this year.

WoW looks like I hit a nerve posting this, great read guys some of the stuff in prev post that you guys posted was pretty interesting to say the least, but as someone also noted the way gas is who knows if we will be boating, why is there no outrage?????? 4 bucks in Feb definitely spells 5 bucks mem day for the good stuff, on water who knows

funny how the gas price is no longer the problem of the president

Enough 4 Play

He got his tax increase on the wealthy and now there is no discussion about entitlement reform or spending cuts. He has now moved onto gun control. I hope all the fools that voted for him are happy.

The more they talk about gun control the more people are buying guns.
The FOID applications went from 10-15 a month to that number in one day here in Illinois.
There is a new gun and ammo shortage....
Ok now back to the low water levels.
