Although I don’t have a specific recommendation for you, a few thoughts popped into my mind while reading your description of what you are looking for.
First, you mentioned a cabin for fixing lunches. Personally, I would not be spending much time at all in any boat cabin in the summer in...
Lake Marion is connected to Lake Moultrie via a canal a couple of miles long. And although I have been on Lake Moultrie a few times and have never seen one, there are some gators in there. This little guy was pulled out of there a few years ago. And there have been a few more like it caught...
Arm46,
Yes, I believe Sea Rays are very good boats. Based on your comments, it seems like this may be your first experience with boat ownership. I’ll assume that’s the case a try to answer you.
Just like cars, houses, and anything else mechanical, things are going to break. And unlike cars...
There is a good chance a data recovery service can get your data back. Do NOT take it to Best Buy. Here are a few companies I would recommend:

Unfortunately, these services...
I carry a couple of things on the boat. The first is a smaller but well stocked kit from http://www.adventuremedicalkits.com (Amazon carries these with better pricing). Second thing I usually have with me is a nurse (my wife.) Both have proven to be useful on the boat although the nurse is...
I have not used them before, but I believe Hartwell Marina has a large hydraulic haul out trailer and truck.
Also, there are a couple of boat transport companies on Lake Lanier just down the road that could do it as well. Just google “boat transport lake lanier”. I talked to one of these...
My wife drives a 2011 CRV on which I installed a hitch just so she could carry a bike rack on back. The hitch cost less than $200, and I think it took me about an hour to install. The CRV has been totally trouble free and my wife loves it. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is...
I just purchased some vinyl stripes from Boat US: http://www.boatus.com/boatgraphics/striping.asp
They will mail you free color samples if you need them although they only have one black and one gold color to choose from.
HughesNet is still metered. I think they now just throttle your bandwidth down to an almost unusable speed if you exceed your daily/monthly data allowance. They do have plans with larger allowances, but even those larger allowances could easily be used up in a day or month by people watching...
Warning: The following response is long and may contain language only suitable for geeks even though I tried to limit the technobabble and acronyms as much as possible.
Jay, you question is timely, as I’m working on a project just like this for a marina right now.
Your first challenge is to...
x3.... I just sold a 240 Sundeck that we spent a lot of time towing on the road. Your Trailblazer may be fine for an occasional 1-2 mile tow while driving slowly on secondary roads. (make sure you have brakes on both axles since you still may need to make a panic stop)
But, I would...
Charley, we'll be arriving sometime Friday afternoon or evening. Don't really know when yet. We'll be coming down with some friends, and we might have to wait for them to get off work before heading down. We'll be departing Monday by noon.
Gerald, yes it may be hot, but our idea of camping...
What toll road pass? Those things cost money! Don't they charge more for the extra trailer axles?
Sweet Dreams, the toll road will save you a little time, but cost you a little money.
Chuck, yes Charley is on Lake Murray, but it looks like we'll miss him again on this trip.
We'll have to plan a trip to Lake Jocassee later on with a little more lead time.
Hi guys, sorry we'll miss you that weekend. We'll be camping and boating down on Lake Murray that weekend.
Chuck and Wesley, I would just use Lake Keowee Marina to launch. That would be the closest for both of you, and that is where we launch when we go to Keowee. There's usually plenty of...
Brian,
There is no charge to use the lake other than paying a parking or launch fee at whatever facility you launch at.
If I were coming from your direction on Hwy. 11, I would launch at Mile Creek park which is a county park on the north-east side of the lake. I believe they charge $4...
