Good for us if good for everyone else.

Ouch! That sucks Roper!! We would be down for coming up to Conroe!

Where is a good place to stay on Lake Conroe with the boat?

Walden on Lake Conroe have some decent condo's for rent. That might include access to the boat ramps. Earlier this month my Dad came for my daughter's graduation and stayed in one next to the Yacht Club. Nice place that overlooked the cove that holds the Walden Marina. Well worth the money IMO. I always see people leave their boats on the trailer or just the trailer at the launch overnight. That could free up your ride.

I used to rent a slip in the Walden Marina for $50 per week. It would cost the same for just the weekend. But I've heard through the grape-vine that the manager is no longer there. Not sure the cost these days. Also, expect a scum line from the lake when leaving in the water. I hate that.

If you really want fancy there is the La Torretta Lake Resort. Water park for the kids. Nice restaurants. Very pricey. Honestly, I wouldn’t stay there, but that’s just me. They have slips I’m sure you can tie up for the night. Just have to find a place to launch. http://www.latorrettalakeresort.com/

There are probably several places on the East side of the lake. I don’t know much about that end but others here could probably chime in.

Oh, there’s a Best Western within crawling distance from Papa’s & Wolfies. If you keep your boat at a marina you could easily drive back. Walk if you had to. Watch out for the cars on hwy105.

Hope this helps a little.

So that is not Del Lago any more. LOL Been a few yrs since I have been up to the lake. LOL

We usually get a slip at WaterPoint Marina. It's where Sam's Boat, Fajita Jacks, and other Restaurants are located. We stay on the boat as they have showers and bathrooms. There are 2 hotels within walking distance also.

Should have new piston and rings Wednesday....Hope to be on the lake for the 4th......

That sucks Roper! Do you need someone to tell you what you are doing wrong from just over your right shoulder? If so, I'm your guy

Thanks for the info guys. I would like to try and make it up for the weekend and do a little boating on the lake. I have only been there once and it was years ago.

I could sit over his left shoulder and ask questions....What you gonna do next?.?.?.What's that for?.?.?.Why you doing that?.?.?.You sure that's gonna work?.?.?.Why didn't you just buy a new motor?.?.?.

Only my sick sence of sarcasim, troper, I'm only joking. Wish I knew as much about engines as you. Good luck. I'm sure she'll be rattling the docks again soon.
