Let know if I can help you with anything bud. You will not regret going there that is for sure. Been trying to Nick and them up there the last few years as well.

We get there on Wed, I drop the boat in at PB2, unhook the trailer and meet the wife at the condo. It's almost too easy! Good luck and enjoy!
Not really. Those boats have a very sharp bow entry. I would run my drive neutral with a touch of tab and would go anywhere on the weekend. Just don't be in a hurry. I would run 26 - 30 MPH in the really rough weekend stuff without kidney damage and would only have to back off for the big cruiser wakes. Bud's Place used to sell the snot out of 266's when they carried them. They do surprising well.

Not knocking the Crownlines at all! I had two. On shootout weekend, anything under 40 ft can be perilous. I'm doing good to hit 30mph in my 32 footer now. No doubt the 266 CAN handle the washing machine, just saying it won't be a leisure cruise.... When you round a bend and see 3 50ft+ cruisers heading your way, you know things are gonna get squirrely.....

Seems like there's a big crowd staying at The Ledges this yr as we are too. It's location is awesome. Less than 5 min to PBC & about 15 from Camden on the Lake. Counting down the days. Ruffled Feathers gets there Wed Aug 24. 142 days left.

Lol! I've lost sight of land being in the ditch of some of those crossing 50' + cruiser wakes! Yeah you won't be running one hand on the wheel and another sipping a beverage. You'll have to be working/paying attention the entire time...with the occasional "holy sh!t!" thrown in!
