Very cool place but again, mostly smaller boats. Saturday morning everyone leaves dock, goes 1/2 a mile and pulls along the shore line of the river to watch people make passes. After a couple hrs of that we run across Lake Kissimee (10 mls) and into the mouth of the river and pull up on the shore line and do the same thing for the rest of the day. Some gorgeous, way fast O/B's but that's the jest of it.
Some people actually boat but most do above.

Mostly 17' - 20' O/B's. Their ramp is a challenge for anything over 22' or so.
On route 60 about 30 mls west of Rt 95 on the east coast. Straight west from Vero Beach. River Ranch is the name of the establishment. There is one coming up in April.

I have launched my 30 Motion there a few times with no issues at all. Has a friend with a 32 Skater that was there last year and he was also fine.

I used to hang out with my brother years ago when he did that, he was on ScreamandFly a lot, I even was part of it for a little while but forgot my screen name. Kissimmee used to have a boat-a-cade years ago that was fun. I don't think they have done it in a while now. We need to get something going for the I/B crowd in this area. (and I need to finish my boat!)

a great friend of mine and is sorely missed down here in our boating circle. He was the Godfather of the Sun Shine Syndicate.

He, Wendy and your Mom weathered one of our hurricanes in my old house over in Cape Coral! I was busy moving my dumb ass back to Ohio to prep for round two down here and hid the keys for them so they could run from a hurricane headed their way after being hit by the previous one.
Next time you talk to Skip, ask him about getting drunk and jumping off the balcony into the pool at a rental I had in the Cape ;) There is video of it some where.
Skip was always one of the nicest people to me while I struggled to get my act together to move here. Always treated me like a brother.

We still swap e-mails.

Yup, that's him, and one of my best frinds, Brian aka "Shore Pounder" = )

You guys were also on my short list for always having open arms for this dumb, broke hill billy ;)
