Midwest Boating Season

The marina season here in Cincinnati is May 1 through October 31. I probably won't be out till mid May. The river is always high and dirty in the spring and there is a good chance of hitting debris and damaging something.

We have a really nice marina on the Illinois River about 30 minutes from our house. We tried to boat there last Fall and our starter crapped out at the launch area. We're going to try it again this year. Good to know to wait a while for the debris to sort itself out, thanks.

Yes it was going out when we were headed in. We thought it sounded funny and informed them the exhaust was dry. They informed us it is suppose to be like that! The sound of the small block was different enough I that something was wrong. I felt like Frank Drebin from the police squad, cool boat though.

Just got a couple of things left to do before she's sea worthy... We try to be out sometime mid may around here. Absence really makes the heart grow fonder. The whole family has the itch pretty bad. We might only be able to go boating for 4-5mo but it sure is sweet for during that time.
