Are you testing props in Green Lake?
If so, after you are done there, I would trailer down to Milwaukee and launch at McKinley Marina. From Milwaukee you can run down to Racine or north to Port Washington.
Milwaukee will have the most action, the riverfront has plenty of places to tie up.

Jeffro,
Do you plan on boating only 1 day or overnighting? Northpoint Marina in Winthrop Harbor IL is a nice facility. Its about a 3hr ride from BBlades. Big ramp with no fees. A hand ful of performance boats on any given weekend. There are quite a few destinations North or South, depending on the distance you want to travel. Chicago, Waukegan, Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee are all decent spots to hit. I personally would head North to Racine. Very boat friendly docks, plenty of shopping and food within a short walking distance. I guess its all in what your looking to do. Lake Michigan is huge!!! You have alot of options.

Yes, I will be testing in green lake. I dont really care where i put in, just dont want to drive 5 hours to do it. There will be two couples on the boat and fun is not a option, its standard equipment! Ha! Going to try to spend the weekend.

I would go to Milwaukee. Then head south down to Racine, or Chicago it you want to burn some fuel. Plenty of water to run and plenty of people on the site to party with along the way.:grinsero010: You really need to cruise the Chicago River and waterfront though, It's spectacuar
