I've come in from Caseville a few times and the no-idle zone (to Hooters, of course) is a good hour each direction. IIRC, the short section between the Independence (Harry Truman) Bridge and the marina next to the train bridge did NOT have no-wake restrictions. This helped dull the pain a little, but not enough. Is this section of the river still like this?

Also, are there any wake restrictions further upriver once you get past downtown Bay City? Since it is a shipping channel, I've always played with the idea of "prop testing" further up river on windy days.

There is a short stretch between Vets bridge and Skipper Buds to run, then no wake to the end of the middle grounds. from the end of the middle grounds to Saginaw you can run again.

I should be out. I have a slip at liberty for the 10 days between river roar and the 4th. I'm not keeping it in the water all that time (i like the white gel coat) but now I have parking for the concert friday. Parking is such a pain down there.

I can't wait to hear the stories about the dockside. I haven't been there in a while cuz the service and food sucks. I don't go to hooters for the same reason. Can u imagine the business that could be had down there if the food and service were both good?

I may have a solution for that in the future, have a deal cookin. If it looked like I could make it work I may open a place on the water, nothing concrete right now but an option and some ideas kickin around. Think a classy place on the water with good food, service, and atmosphere could make it? I will prob. be out for the concert on Friday, will look for you.
