Boating in the big easy

My best friend is moving down there and unless he can sell his 25' checkmate he is going to haul it down. It's a 1990 convincer gtx, freshwater only, new imron, new cabin interior, merc 502, bravo with drive shower and nose cone.

Hope this answers some questions for ya'. Your buddy may be better off with a bigger boat, I have a 26 Powerquest and have wished for 10 more feet on more than one occasion. I'd be glad to show you're friend around, especially if she is a 6 foot blond with store bought flotation devices! Good luck!

same as the previous post , the lake can beat the chit out uf you in a flash. southeast la is more of fishing than powerboating. you have a few rivers but they do have alot of no wake zones, on the south shore there is a ICW but no real party places off it . the DOCK and JAGERS have very limited dock space and i mean limited. the PROP STOP is a real hot place for nice hardware. really the thing to do is go to DESTIN FL. that is really the place to boat, a few hour ride but worth it.

Lafayette but he doesn't think there's any good boating around there. He's moving there to go into the family business, I was at his apt yesterday and he made catfish filets covered in crawdad tails. Good grief!!!

When I lived down in Jefferson Parrish I owned a small Donzi. That boat was perfect for cruising all the little back rivers and bayous down there. Very secluded and scenic back in those areas and nice when you want to get away from the crowds – it’s kind of like going back into the land that time forgot.
