Yep,, I'll agree, I've never seen anything close to a 40+ foot Fountain in our pool. 40+ foot cruiser all day, but no 40+ foot performance boats..There was that new Yellow 40' Baja that had NY stickers on it hang'n out quit a few times.

I'm 2 hours east but always go to Lake Michigan. I have one friend who opened an ice cream shop with a dock there and another whose sons are getting into boating.
My boat is pretty mild. Just standard triples.

The 80 mph marlin is Robby Shaffer. I road in that boat last fall wide open, racing a fountain right past Prinston Beach. He knows how to handle that boat very well. blown big block, scared the crap out of me! I live in Bettendorf, this is me.

We are also wondering about Dubuque, Ia. Area. We have 42 lightning and am thinking about trying the water out down in that area. Need a safe place to launch and not fall of the end of the ramp. We normally boat in LaCrosse but thinking since gas is a little less this year we might travel a little. Thanks in advance Jeff and Jessica

the river between & lots of bars and I don't mean sand bars.
