Default Midwest Boating Season

Just curious on when everyone starts their boating season in the Midwest. We floated the boat yesterday and had some fun. A ski hat was necessary but fun nevertheless.

Rob, that 900 HP YPM mill sounded awesome when you came back by the docks on a hot lap towards the warm end. New truck?! Sweet!

Boat sounds and runs a bit meaner with the added boost. I wanted to just cruise around and burn off some old gas from October. We did make one pass at WOT and the speedo shot through 100mph fairly quickly. My passenger mentioned I now need a faster speedo (maxes out at 100). I quickly replied no thank you. I've spent enough money already
