There's always a party at Log bay! I don't know of any organized thing this weekend but I could be wrong. Big weekend, watch the noise level and don't horse around down by the village.

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Haha! that's part of the reason why I am going back up there. I got a ticket in late July for breaking the DB limit(95.1 vs. the 90 DB limit), I'm going to get re-tested with the silent choice on. I have stock power, so I ddin;t think I'd get in trouble, but I guess when you back into the town docks and the thru-hull bounces of the building, you create some attention from the cops.

Re: Yee Haaa
 

There is a huge party in Log Bay this weekend on Sunday. Its more of an older crowd with about 300 boats rafted off together. Mostly cruisers.but we will all be out there. They have a band play on one of the bigger cruisers. Its a real fun time. At dusk they have a parade with alot of the boats decorated up with xmas lights. They cruise all around the lake

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Hey Guys:

I'm thinking of hauling up to your neck of the woods next weekend. T-Mone was heading up for the Classic Car show and I'd thought I'd haul FT up on Saturday morning and return on Sunday some time. He stays at some cabins somewhere. I couldn't find them on-line. Anybody know where he stays? I don't have a clue as to where to go and where to put in. Help!! I could go if I get someone here in CT to help me put the boat on the trailer. I'll be taking the girlfriend with me, so I don't want to rough it too much.

Re: Yee Haaa
 

There are so many places to stay up there. Lots of little cabins on/near the lake plus your manstays like Holiday Inn, Best Western, Travelodge, etc. The closest large hotels to teh lake in lake george village are the holiday inn and the Fort William Henry motor lodge. The car show is at the motor lodge, so I'm guessing it is booked up. There are tons of smaller motels. Just do a search to find them on Canada Street.

As far as launching, you can launch at Million Dollar beach in lake george. You have to back the trailer under a bridge. My old 21 checkmate fit fine, but I would be worried about your 28 footer. This ramp is free after Labor day. I use Dunhams bay boat launch, which is about 7 miles north of lake george village on the east side of the lake. $30 to launch but once you put the boat in the water, you have to go under another bridge. My 22' scarab fits fine and I have seen 24 Baja Outlaws go under it as well. I think you will be ok, but not 100% positive. The other option is Norowal Marina in Bolton Landing. It is about 10-12 miles north of the village on the west side. $44.50 to launch but no bridges to worry about. You can buy your lake george passes here as well.

Gladhe8er,
Sorry I forgot about the "cruiser" party. It's a good time and I did not realize it was this weekend. Worth going to.

Full Throttle,
My cell if you lost it is 518-365-4409. There are tons of places to stay and I agree, do the search I am sure you will be able to find something. I have put my 28 in at Dunams before, you JUST fit under the bridge (maybe 4" to spare) Castaways is real nice too. The owners name is John and he's a good guy. Get a map and come by, I am about 2 miles north of the village on the west side between Cramer Point and Hearthstone park. Can't miss the trampoline out front in the water, boathouse is brown with Green trim. I got a message from Morgan and I think he's coming up too, call him and see if there are anymore rooms where he's going.
Pray for good weather

Re: Yee Haaa
 

:eek:

I thought $3.00 pissed me off at lanier

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Hey Sonny:

I heard from Anthony Mone and he had a cancellation. So I'm going to run up on Friday night late and hang with him. We'll probably put the boats in on Saturday. Hope to see if we can all get together.

Hope weather is good.

Ron

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Weather is going to suck. I think I am leaving the boat home in Ct now. If I get the itch to go out, I can use my fathers 21 checkmate(all black with red/white stripes), 225 Merc.

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Ron,

Keep my cell # with you and call me. Latest is that Friday is good, Sat is not so good and Sunday and Monday will get better. I have the kids friday night and will be out somewhere but can't run over 60.....my 6 year old tells on me when mom gets home. Give me a call
SB

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Just pull the wire on the speedo. :D

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Sonny:

Can't make it until Friday night...hoping Saturday gets better...may just have to put on my Morton Salt gear. I'll call you later in the week.

Ron

Re: Yee Haaa
 

I will see you guys on Sunday and Monday. I am heading up to Champlain on Saturday to do a run. The further north you go the better the weather is supposed to be

Re: Yee Haaa
 

1:24am on a work night Ron? :D

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Sonny, want to head north with us tomarrow ?? Ive got room if you want to ride along

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Otis,
sorry just got this Tuesday AM, hope you had a good run on Sat, Did Chuck make it up there? Also Boom-Boom said he was going. Never even started the boats this weekend....I hate rain! See you all on October 7th!
SB

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Look at the pics on the Lake Chaimplain fun run thread.
Boomer stiffed but Chuck came up and rode with me. He wheeled it home on the last leg for me

Re: Yee Haaa
 

SB:

If weather permits..I'm gong to haul early morning Friday. T-Mone said we'd put the boats in early and then play a round of golf. All's hinging on the weather. If it doesn't look good for boating, i'll just come up without FT and check out the lake. Maybe haul my first boat with all 6hp just to get the feel. :D You going to be around?

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Ill be at the docks all w/e with the Gladiator. Come on down and tip a few with us

Re: Yee Haaa
 

FT,
Was not going up to the lake this weekend unless the weather is going to be GREAT. Have to be in Albany on Sat afternoon. Did not ever start the boat over the long weekend so if it's good looking to burn some gas on Sunday, cell is 518-365-4409, extended forcast did not look great but those guys are all idiots.
SB

Otis,
Just talked to Julie regarding those tickets, all are gone but last minute they get cancelations and try to re-sell, I put my name on the list but will not know till the day of the show. I'll call you if I can get my hand on a few.
SB

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Thanks Sonny.

I told my daughter to buy some lawn seats. But if anything becomes available, Id take them myself.

Re: Yee Haaa

Re: Yee Haaa

Re: Yee Haaa
 

FT, T-Mone,
Post those pics! I was nice to finally meet you guys. Hope the rest of the day the rain held off. T-mone, man does that thing look good airborne! My kids loved it when we were running next to each other. Remeber to keep Oct 7th open for that run. Ron, I got a few calls said the "patriot Pantera's" looked good as we went down the lake.
See you on the 7th
SB

Re: Yee Haaa
 

FT. The boat looked awesome from the docks when you went by. I looked for you on Sunday but found noone out playing in the NICE water.


See you on the 7th ?? Noise wont be enforced for the run

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Hey Guys:

I had a blast!! Except for meeting with the LG enforcement police the weekend was just the greatest. I'll post pics and if I can get the video of Morgan and T-Mone up I'll do that also.

It was great to finally meet you Sonny. The boat looked awesome! It was sure great to see her on the water instead of in the shop. Please tell your kids that I'm not a hardened criminal :D . It was unfortunate that I didn't know about the 45mph limit and that the noise db was 90. I'll plead my case and see what happens.

On Sunday, I got a call from Morgan and we ran with him around noon until 1:30 or so. We were on the right side heading north near some water fall area. At least I got to wave to you Otis and see your ride. Sure is beautiful.

Next time I'll make sure everyone knows when I'll be there.

T-Mone's sister took some great pics of FT and Jewels bow to bow. I can't wait for her to send them to me. I would want to hang one on the wall. They looked really cool together. I'll post as soon as she sends them.

All in all, my first experience on the Lake was just awesome :D :drink: :eek:

There's a poker run this weekend on LIS. Morgan, T-Mone, Indy and Jromy and I are planning to get together and hang. Anyone else want to join us is welcomed. We will just have to tie T-Mone up so that he doesn't get in the middle of things and run everyone out there! :D :D

Will post photos as soon as I resize them.

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Ron,

We can get you under the 90 Dba with some clamp on CMI Mufflers...let me know!

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Hey guys - I'm up and running again. I got a bad tank of fuel, so I've got new filters, gas, and I'm ready to go this weekend. There's a thread on this LI run in the poker runs area. Look forward to seeing you out there!

Re: Yee Haaa
 

It looks like we could have atleast 5 -6 Panteras at the run if you all show up !!

That would be impressive. I could set something up with the Photographer in the Helicopter to get a seperate photo shoot of you guys running alone together

Let me know

Bob

Re: Yee Haaa
 

OTIS311:

I put the boat in at Narowal(I think) and scraped the bottom of the trailer.

If I went to Ticonderoga I heard the ramp is the best and I could leave everything there. What do you think?

Also, do you think Fort Henry would have room or is it too late? Docks?

Ron

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Pantera28-650HP:

I have CMI's now that flop a cover over the exhaust and they hit 94Db. I need less than 88 in CT. What do you suggest? Thanks for the assistance.

Re: Yee Haaa
 

There are several launches that can handle your boat. Call me for info on them. The Ft still has a few rooms left. I also have an overflow hotel on standby in the Village. Your good with a dock at this point. Dont hesitate though.

Re: Yee Haaa
 

You looked good out there eatin the rough up the other day Sonny!!! I thought i mite win till' you got on plane! :D

Re: Yee Haaa
 

FT,
I have always gone in at Castaways (Warner Bay) plus it's only a 5 min ride to the village not 1 hour. Call me and I'll give you directions. He will also let you leave your trailer there. Nice shots, I remeber when we were bow to bow, I would love to have that picture!
Thanks SB

Otis,
Put me in coach! what do you need help with for the run??? I have my team, I am tring to get Dom to bring some strippers (give me some more time on that one) He had one with him this summer and her top blew off, thank god I was running next to him to fully enjoy!!!!
SB

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Fast Fun,
Your nuts in that thing! My kids were loven it. Had to get home but be careful in that thing, looked like the waves were bigger than you. What is that 8' ?? My son wants that when your done with it, he thinks your the coolest guy on the lake.

SB

Re: Yee Haaa
 

Fast Fun, lets see some pictures. Himes
