My boat is still 30' in the air. Sounds like it will be accessible by end of next week. Right now the River is overrun by fishermen, most of which have no idea how to safely maneuver their boats, so not being in yet isn't a bad thing.... But I may spend a few hours at the public ramp this weekend. That's always a good time.....

I said hell with sleep. I'm slipping in. Saw one big floater. Eased her on over to the digger for lunch.

Where is that

It was insane down by the public launch in Wyandotte around 8am this morning . Just watching some of them maneuver around the streets makes me not want to be anywhere near them out on the river.

Coming out of the channel at detroit beach boat club/ Sterling state park.

Dipped the 311 into muskegon lake and went out the channel for a mile.stopped and talked to a couple of fisherman and they report no debris or ice for a week in the big water.i didn't see anything eithier.
Waves were 1 to 3,occasional 3 ft.wow this formula 311 rides alot smoother than my old donzi.

Exactly! I live a block of the Detroit river in Wyandotte. Every morning, during Spring, I get woken up by the freighters whaling on their horns because the idiot Walleye Fishers won't move out of the freaking shipping channels. These guys are absolutely amazing. But It is fun to watch them all at the ramps. There are a few that know what they are doing, but a lot of them make me wonder if they tied their own shoes....

I am done and ready for summer

Got to love when the sun sets over r lake...

Awesome nate

Got out Sunday, but never even got up on plane..... Boat fired right up, idled out and then turned on the Stereo and Starbord motor stalled. Optis need good batteries and my Starboard battery must have had just enuff juice to fire it up once. As soon as the Amps turned on it killed it... Starboard motor would not fire back up. All is good, she just needs a good charge.. (my fault for not putting it on the charger Saturday). This weekend looks nice, however I have the dash torn apart now. Hopefully I can get her back together by Saturday. Would like to go for a ride faster than 12 MPH....

I was all set up to get out on Saturday untill the boss told me today we r working Saturday. But will still try get get it in if I can.

How was the river? Much debris? I am dying to get out there but the boat is still at AADS getting a new drive and transome assembly.

You guys are all crazy, still way to cold for me (and i'm fat) lots of insulation. :picard1:

just wear a coat boating is still fun when it's cold.

Nope!!! boating is fun when bikinis are out in full force.:whistle:

Got the cig out yesterday an ran her. Had like 1' waves and stretched her legs out. Ran like a top need to get some odds and ends finished up.

Anyone going out this weekend?

I din't see anything, but I only got a few hundred yards.... So, didn't really see much.

It's Michigan. If its not raining or snowing, its time to go boating! Hell, I have a Center Console (no wind protection), and we tuff it out.

I'm thinking of heading up sat. make some runs around the islands. stay at PIB! maybe some early season party people will be up. watching weather

My weekend is over. Tuesday/Wednesday. Had two great days out on the lake fooling around.
