As far as the hotels go Le Roy will have the nicest one right off the interstate...the Days Inn in Farmer City have very limited parking and is much older.
This boat? Sorry...crappy zoomed in iPhone pic.

That was my 288, and my buddy Ryan's 42. He goes by "Precision" here on OSO.



Knot, thanks for the heads up on launching at Clinton Marina...nice facility. Meant to get ahold of you before we headed out, but it was kind of a last minute deal.

That US-1 sounded nasty.

No problem at all with the ramp. Best on the lake as far as I've seen, and tons of parking. Night and day compared to the state park ramp.

Thought that might have been your 288. Remembered the pics of it from Sunny's site. We couldn't figure out if the Fountain was a 38 or 42. We were just across from you guys in the cove in the 7 boat raftoff in the middle. There were 2, 33 Outlaws and a 303 Formula in the line.

Again, I will be in Florida the date of the run so I am the gopher between OSO attendees and the organizer.
