You can go to Performance Boat Brokerage or Nauti Marine. They always have nice rides for sell or in for work.

If you hang out at Dog Days, Shady Gators, Franky & Loui's, & Captain Rons i am sure you will see plenty.

Poker Run is 6/25-26 plenty of boats then. Guys from E-Dock bring their toys up along w/ others.

Then the Shootout is the weekend before Labor Day. Once again a lot of hardware in town for the festivities.

Welcome WJolly! Check out the Support Our Troops Poker Run we're having at the end of June. We had a bunch of troops stop by last year from Ft. Leonard Wood and they had a great time hanging out with us.

As far as boats go, you won't find a better candy store than Performance Boat Brokerage. Tell Matt and Brett I told you to give them a call, they love showing off the hardware!!!

Thanks for your service to our country!!!!!

We're also having a party at Shady Gators this weekend after the Harbor Hop on May 1st. Stop by the top deck of Shady Gators around 8 or so and you'll meet a ton of midwest boaters that would be good contacts for boat rides.

Typical for winter and late spring for seawall repair work and leave room for spring rains. It will be at full pool by Memorial Day.
