Alex... We had the map (bought it well before we got there) and still had a terrible time locating those places you mentioned in your earlier post. Maybe it was just the overall size that made it difficult but we headed for the markers on the map and then trolled up and down inlets looking for...

Thanks all, although I am not sure I am ready to try powering onto the trailer just yet. I did notice that all of the bass boats were powering on though...

Hey All, Remembering that I am new to boating :grin: I have run into a couple of pretty steep ramps. The issue is when loading the boat back onto the trailer. Normally getting the trailer in to where the tire fenders are almost covered with water works really well, but with these steep...

Bob... Mapquest says about 268 miles. Our trip was about 185 miles, but with over 500 miles of shoreline, well worth it. Oh... I was surprised at the depths. Mainly in the 60-85 ft. range but many areas over 100 ft. Even the coves were usually in the 40+ range. It was also a nice surprise to...

Well we just got back from our 4 days at Smith Mountain Lake. All I can say is WOW. First we picked the perfect time, we basically had large areas of the lake to ourselves. We had a great time exploring and just crusing. West Lake Inn was great also, especially having our own dock right outside...

From the Home Depot website under specs... Weight (In LBS) 22

I believe Bud has a contract with DEI and therefore will definitely not be following JR. Rumor has it the Visa may be his new sponsor.

Well we splashed yesterday at about 5:00 p.m. Weather was pretty overcast. Boat was in top shape. Nice gift bucket from the part manager filled with cleaning supplies. Boat was in tip top shape and they even had a small plaque made up with the boat info and the wife and my name engraved on it...

Well as expected, delivered was delayed. Showed up at 9:00 this morning after fairly heavy storms all night. They were checking weather sats and there were two big cells in the area. They suggested and I agreed to wait until tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. In the meantime thought I would share some quick...

Welcome to the club of clubs. Great people with great boats :cool:

Not sure Dominic, but they are unsightly :grin:

My dealer has the tags there and will be on the trailer when we pick it up. How long was it between your purchase and taking delivery?

Well, This Friday we are scheduled to finally take possesion of our 2007 185 Sport. I started watching the weather this past weekend. Initially Wed. was supposed to the worst day although Friday was looking chilly with highs expected around 61. As the week has progressed it appears the...
