This could make for a fun weekend. I haven't been on Fresh water since I moved from MN three years ago. What is the lake like? Is it deep to run all over or is it really shallow? What is the speed limit on the lake?

Where is the best Hotel to stay at? What is the best ramp to use to put in a 30' boat?

Thanks
Don

you never know who might be a buyer. If I were ready to move up. That would have my name written all over it.

Don, I stay at Inn on the Green. They have a large truck parking lot on the side of hotel. It's easy in and out. I'm 26 feet. It's clean and cheap. It's a place to sleep. Here's the link:

Tell the girl you want to be over by room 101. thats where the trailer parking is.

Don,

I posted a link to some hotel info on the first page of this thread as well. Lakes are not northern lakes, so no where near the depth im sure you are use to. You can expect 15-25' with some deeper areas to be had. Most of the lake is pretty safe, but the water level is down about 3' from normal, so some of the canals can be tricky.

There are several ramps that will accommodate you and my suggestions would be.

Buzzard Beach (Hwy 441 Tavares,FL)
Venitian Gardens (South St, Lessburg, FL)
Hickory Point (Hwy 19, Between Tavares and Howey-In-The-Hills)

No speed limit on the lake.. YET!!! :)

Lots of water... If the channels where clear we could run through the locks all the way to the Silver River (Silver Springs). GREAT RUN.. have done it many times, but I'm not sure what the water level is like on the Oklawaha River.

I will make some calls, and we may have to send out a scouting party!!!
