Jason, you might be right about Hideway being a better overall Marina than the Beacon but the main reason I use Beacon Cove is they have a great ramp for larger boats. I've heard that Miller Marine has increased the size of their ramp. This in the future might be another option for me.

Hey, Hope all is good with you guys! I'm still over at Sundog. Cant beat the price and she sits inside:drink:

Btw I did stop at Miller. Real nice place! Chip wasn't there but I did walk around a little. Hope to see you out on the water soon.

Rack storage there, or on a trailer?

I should check into some other places. I wish Miller's had rack storage.

Millers had Rack Storage back when we stayed there ( 10 years ago for 3 years ) Plus you can stay on the boat in the courtesy wells overnight if you want !. They would rack our 268 Sundancer back then, it was pretty big.

Now we just tow the OE Cat out to to wherever we want to go ........ ;)

Hey Jerry, how've you been? I'm more than ready to get out on the water. That nephew of yours got the boat ready:drink:

Nick,

Nephew not doing much work on the boat this Winter. I did have the Motors redone and putting in a new Dash. I was down at Kustom Marine today and everything is going good. Boat should be done by the lst of May if not sooner.

As you are I'm looking forward to Skater Fest, I think I will be at Metro all weekend LONG.
