Name is Don and I am located at the 2.5mm on the Gravois Arm. North side of the lake. In the end of the big bay where the Sea Rays like to raft up. We usually have the flagpole up when we are at the Lake and the second flag is a white Cigarette flag.
Have a 1996 Cigarette 20' Son of a Gun, solid white in color, and sometimes you will find a White with Blue stripe Donzi Classic 18' in the boat dock. The Cig 20 is your normal 76mph Blackhawk 502MPI type of boat; the 18' Donzi Classic is still being sorted out but it has a 427 World Products SBC and either a Bravo XR, Blackhawk or a Bravo/Imco Shorty outdrive bolted to its tail. Had is up to 84 mph while still accelerating; but still trying to find the best handling combination at that speed in this little boat.

Travis at Harrisonville, Mo. We usually stay at Sunrise at the 25mm.I love my cig and working on others also.:drink:

Is your nordic a mid-cabin? I saw one for the first time on the gravois arm by gentle slopes cove, I live right across the way from that cove. I also saw a closed deck 28 heat go by, I was interested in buying a nordic last summer but haven't seen one in person so I opted away from them.

Most likely, that was me (I don't have my cove names down yet, so not sure where Gentle Slopes is). I do have an open bow. Grey checkers, yellow and blue fade accents. Newly-applied OSO sticker on the transom. I'm very surprised that I haven't seen a single other Nordic on the lake yet.....especially since I've covered quite a bit of ground over the past 6 weeks exporing. I get quite a few double-takes from people -- so I'm presuming a lot of folks haven't seen the 28' Heat much, and didn't know it comes with an open-bow configuration. A nice couple in an Envision struck up a conversation with me at the Gas Hole, and were interested to see the Nordic.

Gotta say, there are definitely some very nice boats on the water at LOTO. All kinds.

Hope to start meeting some folks out there sometime.

Ofallon, MO and LOTO here as well Osage beach area.

Very nice looking boat in the water, that was the one I saw. Has the boat been good for you?

The boat's been fantastic. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

I think I figured out where Gentle Slopes is (are?). We floated through later in the afternoon/early evening. If it's where I'm thinking it is it's a beautiful area...large lots...big houses..lots of grass to the water.

Is any one running their boat in the Shoot-out?

Yes I am, the Turkey Toy, is going through again, it's a lot of fun.

Mark Eichholz -- High Ridge MO. 1 MM North shore LOTO

Bryan Haupt, Kansas City at the 19mm

No boat at the moment but live in Sunrise Beach on 5-41, just up the road from Frankie and Louies and work at Kelly's Port in Osage Beach doing Fiberglass/Gel. Hopefully we will be back cruising the lake by next spring if we find the right boat. And yes, many nice boats on this lake.

BTW, if anyone needs someone to come do buff/wax/detailing at your dock send me an email at [email protected] or call 573-216-3880. Very reasonable prices too. Sorry, can't do it if you are already a Kelly's Port customer, can't take business from the marina!

I'm coming to loto not this weekend but the next for the poker run at big thunder marina on the 27th. Anyone gonna be out playing?

Can anyone be in the run? Or is it just for the big thunder customers? What day is it on and who do I need to call to get signed up? Thanks

Its for everyone. I'm not a customer and have never been there. Look in the poker run section. The thread is thunder at the lake loto. It is on friday the 27th. Sounds like they will have the helicopter shooting video and might be one of the magazines there to shoot some pictures.

knotfast,
Do you boat around Clinton or just LOTO? What kind of boat are you in?

I will be there from 7-21 / 7-28. 99 Checkmate ZT 280. Hope to see some of you at the party cove.

Fish Company - one of my favorite places. Have you started visiting Buck's since he moved out of the state park (party cover area) to your area of the lake? I have not been up to visit him yet this year but was thinking of stopping their over shootout weekend.

Hey I know you people lol. Talked with your dad last night about the new Fountain, sounds like a sweet ride. Cant wait to see it.

I dont think the Hobson's have visited Bucks yet. exactlly where is it? In the same cove as Bulldogs?

We usually use the Fish as a meeting point perhaps we can meet on the other side of the lake for a change.

Buck's moved from about 10 miles down the state park cove (party cove area) to up by Fish and Company. I think I was told in the same cove as Tequilaville???? A cove by the most northern bridge over Rt 5.

Do you folks get up to Frankie and Louie's ever? Maybe we can hook up sometime. I will probably see you shootout weekend - we plan to run in the fun run. Not sure if we will eat at Big****'s or maybe come back down to Buck's since I have not seen Bill for over a year.

We go to Frankie and Louies quite often. Plan so far is to be there thursday night and then plan to do the Fun Run on Friday as well. probally come back and cove out at the 31mm just past the fish.

LOTO !! Newbies
