New to Powerboating on LG
Im considering buying a 32 sunsation. I will be keeping it on Lake George. Alot of people tell me not to go with a performance boat because there is a lot of flak from the Cops exhaust, speed ect. PLease dont get me wrong, I'm not an advocate of driving 60 shoreside with the exhaust blaring, but Im just curious to know if the boys go out of their way to bust the go fast's. I figured I would ask to get some opinions of performace owners. Thanks in advance.

Most of the time if you stay away from the south end of the lake (near town) you should be OK. I got written a ticket on the town docks for my exhaust when I went to dock up there for lunch one day. My general experience is that if you are far enough north (past Log Bay and the Sagamore) you generally don't have any issues. I only bring my boat up there a couple times a year though, but generally speaking they aren't looking to bust the performance boater's if you aren't being an idiot. I think a couple of the guys who are on this board also have clamp on muffler for their exhaust to cut down on sound.

Hey Pete, Brian Here, Who Bought Your Scarab.
I'm Staying At The Chelka Lodge In July For 4 Days, Any Chance Of Hooking Up For A Ride On Your New Boat. When I Was There In October, Thought It Would Be Nice To Come Back, But Without The Boat.
Friends Are Camping Out On A Island, But That's Not For Me.

I have had a house on the north end of the lake for over 36 years, and owned over a hundred performance boats. One of my boats I currently own is a 33 PowerPlay w. 500HP's and dry pipes. Its done! Speed and noise are heavily enforced. Even if you drive under 45 and have mufflers, they follow you, test you and ticket you. And one of the comments about it not being inforced at the North end, NOT TRUE, There are alot less boats at the north end and plenty of patrol boats, your a much easier target. I dont like this subject because my boat, I want to use, sits in a barn, while I am forced to use other boats that conform to the lakes rules. Just happens to be a sore subject with me, sorry.

Only problum with that is my house is on Lake George, Nothing more enjoyable then just slipping the ropes off, going for a ride and knowing all you have to do when you return is slip the ropes back over the cleats and throw a cover on. I will be checking into Lake Champlain this summer, Any info on where to Launch near Ti and what to do on the lake would be appriciated.

There is alot to do in Burlington,I reserve a slip at either Breakwaters or the Burlington Boat House.
Breakwaters 802-864-9804
Boathouse 802-863-3377
You can walk to much of the restaurants and nightlife from the docks.
Of course there is the Naked Turtle in plattsburg NY.

I usually try to get up the last weekend in July. Last year we have the Sacandaga Poker run on that weekend, but that has been moved up this year.
Thanks.
Thanks.
