its the one with the red outdrives its a 83 sits right across from the fuel dock at big thunder. or use too.

all white with a red and white strips and blue sunpad rail. im not sure if its still there anymore is your friends name Rick?

Wow,

I was just down there over Xmas. it was 65-70 degrees 12/26/08

I have lived on the water all my life in Southern WI. I can't believe you guys can get way with that without significant ice damage. On Lakes up here everything comes out of the water docks & lifts.

Are those motors winterized?

if you put deicers around your dock or lift your ok( LOTO not sure up north) Im sure the weather is much different further north to where you need to pull eveything out of the water. I remember 2 or 3yrs ago they had a real bad snow storm and the snow and ice piled up on the roofs of the docks and they caved in. Port Arrowhead lost alot of boats that winter,

The only time ice is a problem is when the dock and lift freeze in solid and ameren lowers the lake and the ice thaws and the dock, lift, and boat fall through

the only time i recall that happening was in the early 80s we had 20"+ snow and below freezing temps for close to 3 weeks i had a srv360 searay and an imp aztec that where damaged prety bad

Exactly. The issue is when the water levels change. Most folks think it is because the lifts and docks get encapsulated with ice. Not so.

The lifts on our local lake get iced in for 2-3 months. But the lake level does not change, so it is not a problem. But if stuff gets iced in and the lake drops - problems arise.

You guys got it right that little deicer keeps the ice away or thin enough so the dock/lifts will move with the changing water level.
I will add pictures tomorow most of the ice and snow is gone as usual.
made for some cool pics though!
