Table rock boat size
 

For the last six years we have 4-6 families ( kids as young as 5-14) tow to LOTO for a week of go fast fun.
This year we are talking about going to Table rock and taking the Master Crafts for a week of wake boarding. We thought we would make this more of a kid oriented year. Is this crazy to tow 600 miles for a week of boating in 22-24 foot ski boats. We normally take 33' to 42' boats to LOTO. Are there enough thing to do and see on this lake, and are we going to get beat to death in a boat this size? I know I would never take these boats to LOTO...

You wil be fine on Table Rock.

Go to LOTO and take the big boats and a ski boat or two.

Hmm, I take my 18 footer to loto alot, be it a 24* bottom :D and do okay. Steve

Table rock has plenty of big coves to enjoy water sports, & if ya get out before ten am ya should be fine in the main channel. The roughest spots on the lake are kimberling city & around the state park/damm area. Your tow boats should be just fine.

we could run our 23 islander from branson to kimberling city at around 50 w/ out having to touch the throttles on the weekends. from kimb city to shell knob was even smoother. if its windy then you will have some chop to contend w/.

as far as things to see off the water, for kids you can do silver dollar city, celebration city & the branson landing.

You'll be fine at Table rock in those boats. If you still would rather do LOTO, take one or two ski boats and do the water sports first thing in the morning. I get the kids up early and take them to a really nice cove in the Glaize arm just past the Grand Glaize Bridge or back into the State Park area for tubing and skiing in the mornings. Back to the slip by 10 or so before it gets too rough. This is over the week of July 4th each year staying at the 14MM in Porta Cima.

Remember...no wake in the 14mm cove :D

thanks guys...

Are you in old Party Cove at the 14?

I am.

Cool. I stay every week of the 4th at a friend's house towards the back of the cove. All red brick, white metal spiral staircase, glass inserts on both upper and lower deck railings, dolphin fountain, stone facade over breakwater, new dock last year. A '99 272 Baja Islander sits on the lift. Bitner's place if you know the names. Which place is yours?

Your speaking of Terry's house...from his house looking towards the main lake I am on the right...big dock with the tan colored hip roof.

Looks like this....

You'll be fine and love the scenery too. :cool-smiley-026: Great lake to boat on.


LOTS of people getting pulled on the lake. Like cstobe said there are endless numbers of coves to exlore and the water is SO clean and clear. Much better to be in than LOTO.

Yes, Terry's house. We "watch" his place for him every year over the 4th. I know right where you are at. I'm always off plane before getting to your house. :D
