Port City has probably the easiest/best docking of any restaurant on the lake. The dock is well inside a long no wake zone and there's plenty of room to maneuver.

I thought the lake looked low - at least I know I wasn't imagining things :-)

Ahh that makes sense; it would be fine with umbrellas I think. They didn't have any out when we went and it was pretty hot. Personally I like Port City club if I want something more than Blue Parrot type food. - super easy to dock there. Only downside is that it's a hike for me

Supposedly the new place (Hello Sailor) is opening in June where the Rudder used to be

Just tried North Harbor club for the first time the other day. Really nice place with items other than "bar food". It must get brutally hot outside on that deck in the summer though; it was really toasty when I was there a couple of weeks ago

At my marina I paid 500 bucks for a full winterization, oil change, gear lube change, impeller change and some greasing/lubing.

Thanks for the tip Lazy Daze - I'll ask the marina mechanic about that. He told me to just pull the 4 plugs I ended up pulling. I'll recheck the manual also.

I just turn my battery switch off and leave them in all winter. Haven't had any issues.

I certainly agree that I wouldn't involve myself (unless i happened to personally know someone thinking about purchasing said boat).

I have a 2002 Sundeck 240 with the 5.7 EFI (260 HP) and mine has the 4 blue drain plugs. 2 on the block (1 on each side) and 1 on the bottom of each manifold. FWIW - I had mine fully winterized by the marina (I dry stack) but I decided to splash early this year (end of february) since it was...

IANAL - but I'm pretty sure that's fraud. Not sure if the statutes cover boats, but most states have laws covering odometer fraud

The 350 mag is the 5.7 MPI (not the EFI). The 5.7 EFI makes 260 HP You can see a list here (My WOT is like 4700-4800 rpm) http://www.rubexprops.com/boat-propellers/rpm-range/?make=Mercruiser

Finally got her back in the water today (late afternoon ended being beautiful). I can happily state that my first attempt draining the block and manifolds must have been successful :-)

If it doesn't rain Saturday it's supposed to be close to 70..... one can hope :-)

It's even been freaking cold down here in North Carolina. We actually had some SNOW last weekend (March snow is not common here).... granted it melted in a few hours.
