Thats funny we are also in Fife Lake but say Kalkaska because of the same thing, we are on King rd east of the CCC bridge by the old King ranch airstrip, have to meet up next time.

Cool

Hey where was everyone? it was a beautiful day on Torch, we traveled the rivers and it was actually really warm, sandbar was empty, alot of new boaters enjoying their first boats, still a awesome weekend for a early cruise.
Prop testing went really well nailed it the first try, the little 202 with a big block was a easy 70 mph.
Missed you all hope to see ya Memorial Day weekend.

Yeah 55mph is the speed limit, I run the full lenght of the lake and have for many years (20) and never been busted for over 55mph, play at the north end with high speeds, not so many people and the law enforcement dont hang out there much, south end could be a little trouble if not being careful.

last summer there was a Skater flying around up there so probabaly dont enforce, the PD usually is hanging around the sandbar glassing.

When it comes to performance boating (as most of us already know), there are some people that will always despise our kind of boating no matter what.

That being said, I have said this before about going up north....for the most part, as long as you're a "cool player", I have found that you most likely will not have any problems with the law.

Rev your engines un-neccessarily in a harbor or marina area, or go too fast near anchored boats or high traffic area and you're most likely are going to get some attention from the law you're probably NOT going to like .
