[QUOTE=PWRQUEST]PWRQWST, I don't know how your buddies are with the sunsations, but the two sunsation owners I know are a little crazy, must be something with owning that boat.QUOTE]

Too funny! The one Sunsation owner in our club....Reckless....definitely fits that bill.

Mentalpause, I have read much about the Shootout. It sounds like an event I would love to see! As for not owning a trailer, I don't miss having to mess with it. Plus my oceanfront condo is not trailer friendly. My high and dry on Lynnhaven Inlet gives me access to more boating than I have time for. I have a 15 minute drive to the marina and the boat is in the water in less than 5 minutes.

PWRQUEST we usually stay around the 19MM. and even down towards Tantara.

Wally call me I will get you some phone #s, that way we stay somewhat close to everyone. Scott you, and myself. Probably at Parkview Bay, John will let us all stay at his place for free anyway

John I think we can squeeeeze you in.

Macklin: ocean front sounds nice, I guess I could understand that. You should get a couple of buddies to fly in with, and see the event. You can fly into St Louis or Kansas City rent a car drive to the ozarks, get a place to stay and rent a real nice 19' fourwinns boat. Let us know if you decide to do this.

Airline tickets. $300.00
Car rental. $200.00
Condo. $250.00 pr night
seeing the shootout with your buddies PRICELESS

You forgot the $200 per hour for the Four Winns rental.

Beth and I will be there! We will be staying at the small numbered end of the lake (4-5 mile marker I believe).

I went last year. Total blast.

Dave

Dave,
We will probably be at that end to, we usually stay at the Alhonna Resort at mm8.

Macklin,
Why rent when you own, you will look good towing that big bad boy down the road .Your right it is a long way to tow,but hey you only live once .I guess the only down side is that you have to by a truck and trailer,hell its only money can't take it with you

Alhonna went up for sale this year. I will be interesting to see if someone new has bought it by next season.

Mentalpause,
That blows, we just stayed there for the shootout, looks like we might not have a choice, we will have to find somewhere else to stay .

I'm sure they will be open, just not sure who the owner will be. I've stayed at Alhonna before I bought a condo down there. There are other spots near there that are nice too, or you can stay further down the lake near the Grand Glaize Bridge.

Hey Rich - went to the plant today and posted some new pics of the boat
