The lake may be down now but it should be up by the 4th. I grew up in Sullivan every year it's low in the spring and up by the 4th. If it is at normal pool you just need to stay in channel. If it gets to high it picks up logs and debris this year should be good. Light winter and light sping. Worst case launch at Bo Woods around the corner from Sullivan marina. The ramp is way better there. And it is like 5 minute drive if you are staying at the marina.

X2...It will get higher

I should've kept my house down the road from Sullivan Marina. I could've rented it out.

We were at Shelbyville all weekend. Water is low but not too bad. We went to Skeeters Sat. and Sun. night. Stayed in the channel and all was good. Water is very clean right now too.

That sounds great, if I get my boat fixed by then. Gimbal ring is broken and Mercury has it on backorder.

I oredered the stainless steel gimbal ring from Hill Marine.

The water will be clean until it goes up and picks up debris. It will probably not go up much more this year if it was a foot below it will maybe get to normal pool.

aaaargh

My boat is still broken and the gimbal ring has not arrived yet. I thought it would be in 3 days ago. Then I still have to get it fixed. I am getting nervous and wondering if I need to cancel my reservations.
