Quick, without looking.. Anyone remember what this thread was about?
One sided? You get peace of mind on your future boat...kind of....sorta....maybetgrace98 wrote: Mon Mar 26, 2018 7:36 pm This sounds pretty one sided to me. How do I know you aren’t going to be rolling around in Cheetos and bumping every dock you see? Do I get to make monthly inspections on my investment?
And hell who knows maybe i’ll Be ready for an r30 by then. But I’ve always told myself I never want to deal with a 2 engine boat. Just seems like double the headaches to me.
Nah I'd say 27ft on Table Rock is a great size boat. Still small enough to pull a tuber or skier and large enough to handle any kind of water conditions. Hell most slips there are still only 10x24.Table Rockin wrote: Tue Mar 27, 2018 1:13 pmOne sided?

I can at least say with 100% certainty...no cheetos!! Ever!
I dont think 2 engines would be too much trouble.....besides if your considering that boat id say you afford to take the risk of engine failure. But youd need a new lift! R30 for me is when kids head off to college....or even sometime after.
Yeah a good friend of mine from college his parents have a place over by the Kimberling City bridge. Back when the Corp required everyone to switch to plastic floats instead of the foam ones they wanted to turn their 12 10x24 boat slips to 10x28ft boat slips and add a swim platform as well and the corp shot them down. Stated that the edges of the slips would be too close to shoreline. Which is BS because I have seen a lot more docks closer to shore. Also they tried to remove a tree that is obstructing their view of the lake from their porch. (they were going to move it about 30ft to the left and the corp also said no.Table Rockin wrote: Tue Mar 27, 2018 2:50 pm Oh I would agree but over time people tend to gravitate towards bigger and better (or I tend to). Someday it might be in the cards when perhaps water sports is less commonplace for us. Who knows maybe that day never comes. But for now, I'm most assuredly happy with what I have. And yea if I ever decide to leave the Harbor for say something like a community slip its going to be hard to find something in the 28'+ range. Like you say most are 24'....and still want 35-40k for one. Didnt you say awhile back you have some friends who wanted to make their slips bigger and the corp told them to stick it? Wonder if that is always going to be the case.
I'm a little worried about Sunday . Low of 29. My boat does have the optional engine bay heater that they used back then. So I am going to call Phil today and see if I plug it in Sunday that they can check on it Monday.Table Rockin wrote: Tue Apr 10, 2018 8:04 am Tick tock.... tick tock.....just days away my friend.....

Well I talked to Phil and he said they didn't run around and winterize any of the boats last week. Said not to worry so I guess I am going to go ahead and move it down there this weekend. I am going to plug in the heater though to be safe and he is going to run down there monday and unplug it.Table Rockin wrote: Tue Apr 10, 2018 10:47 amTo be followed by freezing lows....I'm hoping the weather warms back up later next week.Fun2Fish wrote: Tue Apr 10, 2018 10:36 am This weather is the worst, finally a few warm days this week.
