Yep we are on the south side of Gull Lake just north of Madden’s Resort. BTW, Nisswa Marine just sold to MarineMax for $32M so they must be doing something right, lol. Here’s the sunrise from our place yesterday.

I can hear the news delivered now….Using this face
…um…hey..dad….we had a little problem….

It was a little too windy for us today so I cleaned the boat up to new specs.

Lol, nailed it. I’ll give credit to my son, he called me right after they towed it back to the dock. The worst part is we have a rule that none of their friends are allowed to drive the boat and his buddy was at the helm when the accident happened. He grew up on the lake boating and fishing and of course word spreads quickly so he’s taking major heat from all the dads, buddies, and brothers that grew up on the lake.

The best part is the props and prop shaft were likely less than perfect after a 2018 accident and this morning after this weeks repair I was seeing an extra 1 mph at WOT at 50-100 rpm under redline. Before I was at or slightly over redline at 49ish mph at WOT.

That's awesome!

I think CobaltorNothing has moved on to Sea Ray. ( He may have even changed his username to Baylinerornothing. )
