I am confused. Why do people not use their boats after Labor day? It's like a light switch turned off.

To date, only one sea trial. A lot more bow lift (28' Party Cat, 10,000 lbs) needs more pitch and a 5 blade but for the first test it was very positive. Problem is eventhough it is warm, call it hot, people don't want to run the boat in Sept. ????

Hopefully the others will get the boats wet but I am at the mercy of others at this point.

Please stay tuned.

I'm not sure about where your at but in my area it's time to break out the dirt bikes and Jeeps ect. It's too hot in the summer for this stuff here. We can boat year round out here though since we only get down in the 60's avg. I never understood the on/off thing either.

He has a blender, four batteries stuffed in the bow, a generator and a huge stereo system, bimini top, etc..

Maybe I'm spoiled since I boat year round but the two of the three are in a warmer climate than I am.

Kids in school no more boating?
