Re: Hello Central Illinois
Now that would be a sight, a 43 and a 38 on that water... I did see an old 42 Baja out a few times last year.. Rich uses the marina ramp and somehow gets through the turn....
Mental, I keep my boat on Dock 3 (caddy corner to boody). I try to get down there every weekend and at least 1 week day, co-pilots are always welcome if I don't have the Fam with me!
If I hussle, I can be on the water 40 minutes from Corporate South's parking lot.
With how much warmer it seems to be in LOTO, I am starting to think about a late April trip down there if the weather coops...

Re: Hello Central Illinois
John you definatly need to come back to Clinton.
Wally is correct the best ramp is the Marina, and they know have long trailer parking down on the lower parking lot (Thank God) You can probably make the swing, but you will just have to put the left tires up on the grass and follow it, you wont hurt anything doing it that way, I did it a couple of times. I can only make it by about 3 inches
rainorshine is Scott and Hillary, you meet them lastyear I know, and I think maybe the year before, they own the 04 Dominator w/6.2s
Wally was the man last year he was there boating like 76 times or something like that.
Wally I'm with you a weekend in April at LOTO we can just stay on the boats. Leave on a Thursday night and come home on Sunday afternoon

Your decision on a cool call name is about as good your decision to buy that beautiful 32 Dominator. Really enjoyed your Christmas card. OSO is a great website and it is encouraging to know their are people out there just as obsessed with boating as we are (maybe even more).
Congratulations,
Rob

Re: Hello Central Illinois
Hey Rob, thanks for the compliment on the boat. We still haven't decided on a name yet. Everytime I come up with something cool, Hills uses her veto powers!

Re: Hello Central Illinois
rainorshine - here is a web site with tons of names.

Right now I am thinking of "No Regrets" for the new Sunsation. Only because my boating friends keep talking me into more and more options, and keep saying "you may as well as get everything so you have no regrets."
