Anybody have their boat in the Chicago Harbors or nearby? Mine is going in on Sunday. Launching at Diversey or 31st and headed to Belmont for the season.

I stayed at 31st last year for the first time. Pretty nice. Planning on a few trips back this summer!

Stop into Hammond Marina T-Dock this summer. We are always around. Probably won't have the boats in till Memorial Day.

Hope to see you out there! And SOOOOOON!

I'll be in diversey for the summer, used to work for westrec years ago, should have it in the water this or next weekend!!! Can't wait winter was way to long!!

Anybody going to be around this weekend?

Heading over to New Buffalo for the weekend...probably be local next weekend.

Going In Tomorrow At Hammond

I've seen you out a lot this year. Ive got a Velocity 260 in Burnham the name of the boat is "offshore drilling"

Thats gotta be one sweet looking bottom at the end of the season, $hitcago doesnt allow lifts right?

I've noticed the Velocity out quite a bit too. I think we were anchored beside you a couple weekends ago. We should tie up next time, I'm new to Chicago Harbors and don't know a lot of people with boats...

The bottom has the spray on SCATT barrier protection. It works pretty well. I'm also having a diver clean it biweekly, and I plan on pulling it every 6 weeks for an acid wash. Trailering isn't an option for me in Chitown.

Chicago Harbors allows the sunstream lifts, but they're 7gs.

I pull mine about every 4 weeks and scrub it down.Get the easy stuff off with a quick power wash, Liquid bar keepers friend cut with water in a pump sprayer, soak the hull down and it scrubs anything else off with a couple passes of a stiff brush. 3hrs worth of work.

I've been near by a couple times. white hull and a similar purple graphic to what you have on your boat. I'm at the harbor right now, heading out there in a few. Next time you're heading out let me know. I've got a buddy with a 37 sundancer, and another with a 35 maxim. I tie up with them when they're out. I'll shoot you a PM with my number
