I cordially invite you to an east wind on Lake Erie. Heading for the bay or Kelly's from Monroe mi.

10-15 mph with gusts 20-25.

Good times had by all.

I thought business was booming for you in NY. 2 or 3 businesses right ? And just recently an Offshore Boat Restoration business ?

Lk St Clair is a gem.Michigan has the most registered boats,Outdoors mans paradise State land galore.The UP. Freeway posted speeds ignored.Thousands of miles of Snowmobile Trails for when the boat is hibernating.

FReeway speeds arent an issue, because there are so many damn orange barrels you couldnt get up to freeway speed if you tried. Hell they breed faster than welfare recipients...

^^ Please I got nailed to the cross for 16 Mph over in ohio. Soon as you Hit Michigan state line I 75 ...it's ON
Better be running 85 plus in da left.

One of the rodeo roundups off ottawa river and 75?? the ohio cops do like the state line., though between toledo and monroe the cops are constantly pulling over the semis....

Your young and ambitious. If you are going to go through all the trouble to move and start all over again move South.

If you love boating why move to an area where you can only boat 4 months out of the year and out of that 4 or 5 weekends can be chitty.

Michigan state income and property taxes suck. Florida has no state income tax and the property taxes are are a quarter of what they are in Michigan,

I could never move to Ohio because their freeway speed limits are Bullchit.

Have family that live in Naples.They are retired and get the heck outta there in april back to Mich. too friggin hot.lol
Sandusky Us 250 saw the 2014 CamaroSS no front plate... Bingo!

Don't get me wrong - I've thought about moving to Florida a bunch of times (especially now that we've already gotten 30 friggen inches of snow this year), but there are lots of great things about midwest boating:

1) No salt water and the crap that comes with it
2) Not as many old people as Florida
3) It's not ridiculously hot in the summer
4) Since everyone is cooped up all winter, everybody gets out every weekend they can in the summer. The parties are great!
5) We don't put as many hours on our boats = save $$$
6) You just can't beat Michigan summers. Period.
7) More time for OSO. I mean, what the hell else are we going to do for the other 8 months?

Florida guys could probably put a pros list much bigger than this, but just sayin'

im used to shoals and stuff, are most of them marked? there is one lake by us that only takes about 20 mins to run to one end to the next... they joke about it being a land mine if your not in the channel markers. Though i boat in the 1000 islands so its constantly knowing about shoals etc. but thats always good to know! keep the replies coming! what about marinas, fuel cost, restaurants etc.
