The 26' size limit is for the chain of lakes, but the 40 mph speed limit is for the entire state of Illinois!

If you guys all move... My wait for bears season tickets will shrink from 30 years to 25!

The chain of lakes are a mudd puddle true enough even now with the water level being up a bit....its a mudd puddle but its the only game in town besides lake Michigan for us folks in the area. I have searched and I cant find a single reference to this proposed law of 27' or less and a 45 MPH speed limit someone post a link and then I may believe it.
All that being said I have had my fill of the chain and next year if at all possible I'm getting a slip at Kenosha!!! Lake MI., here I come. Cheese heads you are about to have one more Illinoyance. Cheers! |
The problem with Lk Michigan is that you will spend a lot of time sitting on your boat in the harbor due to rough water, no where to anchor and hang out etc. Want to go to a cool bar etc. ? Head to Milwaukee and burn a ton of fuel and hope the winds don't change for the ride home. Yes the Chain is a mud puddle, but you have many choices to do things etc. And a run to Chicago uses even more fuel than going to Milwaukee !!!

Smitty you need to get out on lake Michigan more often there is quite a few area's to throw a anchor and swim as far as bars quite a few in Kenosha and more in Racine. As far as wave conditions there has not been too many times we have been stuck at the dock especially if you have a 36' boat.
