So if show up with peeps and plenty of adult beverages you will loan me the Donzi so I have an unforgetable Cumberland Vacation !!!

We could tweak that a little bit to where Bob and Lorrie get drunk on the houseboat and Peter and company get thrilling rides in the Donzi

Would love to do that sometime Peter - just let me know

What do you mean the water and coves are better?
Cleaner, warmer, less debris, etc.??

cleaner/clearer in my opinion but both are nice.never had a debris problem in either lake.lots of coves on both lakes.in cumberlands defense I have never been there on a non poker run weekend so the water may be more stirred up.you cant lose on either one.i personally think dale hallow is a little clearer.water temps seem to be the same on both lakes.
