That's a some 4th shot!
My wife was wondering how people got to the other side of the falls. We saw some people over there. I'm not sure when we will be over there again. Thanks for the offer. If it was winter I would take you up on that. We headed over there more by sled.
I want to take the family to the soo also one of these years. Not by my boat though. By land is fine. Lol

Welcome from St. Louis/ Table Rock Lake. I love the 282's! If I would of looked a little harder when I bought my boat earlier this year maybe I would of ended up with one. Maybe my next 1 lol.
I will agree that the VP with the duo prop makes it really easy to maneuver a larger size bow rider around the docks. I came from an older 27' with a bravo 1 and it is almost night and day difference at idle speed. Really makes a 27' boat feel like a 20' boat.
Also if you are looking for somewhere to go next summer we are planning on a Cobalt Chat meet up down here on Table Rock next summer. Or if that doesn't work out the Cobalt dealer here puts on a big Cobalt Regatta the last weekend in July each year. This year they had over 75 Cobalts there.
Now we're talking, the Admiral and I had pondered hitting LOTO and Table Rock at some point. These just might be the excuse we need to make the trek down there. Her requirement when we travel is something over 60* water surface temps, I'm assuming that's not an issue that far south. Is there a date for the CobaltChat meetup yet?

That’s a great story arcticzale. What memories you made that night.
And
The Admiral...I love it!
Yeah, the Captain controls the vessel, but the Admiral commands the fleet.
When I'm not in nautical terms she's affectionately referred to as the "Social Activities Coordinator'

We haven't setup a date yet. Last year we did it in June and that would probably be a good time again before the lake gets to crazy. By early mid June water temps on Table Rock are usually in the low 80's. This year was crazy and we hit 85 by 4th of July. Temp's over labor day were 82.
We are wimps down here in in the Corp chain of lakes. I won't put a toe in the water till it is mid 70s.

Wonderful, I'll circle these time frames with her and look for more narrowed down dates as we get into spring. Warmest temp I saw in the big lake this year was 66* and that was in a shallow bay. She'll like the sound of this kind of water. Appreciate it!
