Default Lake Travis winter runs

Anyone going / been out? I've been out the last couple weekends and it has been great. Planning on going out this weekend and was wondering if anyone else was going!

My "Hooptie" should be out today....

Not sure if I'll be in it or not, but at least my boat will get to have some fun..

You are a few drain plugs away from re-winterized, I'll help you with yours when I'm doing mine after I pull out. The lake is the same level as the last time I saw ya at Highland Lakes too, so the ramp is good!

Had a boat in the water since I moved here 8 years ago and have yet to winterize any of them even during the big ice storm we had 5-6 years ago.. I Just put a bulb/heater in the engine compartment and check it before any major freeze. Just too many nice days that pop up to not have the boat ready to go.

I think I saw Hooptie yesterday while out for a quick run myself. Saw it coming, and made note of how clean it looked -- and very cool looking old-school. Real nice boat.

Only good, "crappy" weather right now, needs to involve a lot of rain. You getting any yet?
