    Time to sell the boat...

    Well guys, we have decided to sell the 200. I just had the recent unfortune of having surgery on a staff infection, and a week in the hospital. Add that to the slow ecomomy, and the decision isn't that difficult. Even though I have insurance, the med bills are starting to come in and its time...

    Marina's in Charleston for a 21ft overnight?

    My daughter should be dancing in her national comeptition next summer here so I thought I would trailer the 200 Select down and spend a week. I am looking into a marina where I can keep the boat for the week, therefore I don't have to drag it out everynight. Do you guys know of any that will...

    Lake Wylie Aquapalooza pictures

    Here are some of the pics we took yesterday. We were the first ones to raft up, but as the day went on, the group grew to several raft-ups and by the time we left, the cove was pretty full. Big thanks to everyone at our raft-up. You guys are the greatest. A true group of friends. Larry...

    How do you tow your towable?

    Kinda funny, but we just got a 3 person 7ft wide tube, and I am trying to figure out the best way to secure it to the back of the boat when its not in use. What do you guys do?

    Gotta love these lake levels

    I am so amazed how quickly we came out of the drought. I have heard nothing but positive things about lake levels so far this summer. How are your local lakes doing?

    An evening on Lake Lure

    After a long day it sure was nice to get out on the Lake. We havn't done much with the boat this summer with all the raining weather, and our daughter with her dancing, but we did get out this past Saturday evening. Very relaxful indeed.

    Lower gear unit leaking from plug??

    Changed the gear oil a few weeks ago and never noticed anything before, but when it got to cold and I moved the boat into the garage, I noticed gear lube puddled on the concrete. Its comming from the lower plug. So I swapped the plugs and it slowed down, but I notice a very small puddle under...

    tilt/trim drive questions

    I did some searching, but how does the angle of the drive effect the performance of the boat? From my experience, I have a pretty good idea how it does, but I wanted to see what your comments would be. I know when boating not to have the drive up all the way because its bad on the unit, but...

    TS Fay could help us out alot

    If Fay stays to the west of Florida, she could bring us some serious rain by the end of next week that will help all the lake levels in the area. Just in time for Labor day. Would be nice to get several inches of rain for once.

    Best ramp at Lake Keowee?

    I think the family has decided on Labor day to make the trip down to Lake Keowee. Like I mentioned before, our boat has never been to another lake but Lake Lure. So since our lake is useless now, we will/must travel. Never been there, so do you guys have a good way(directioons) of getting to...

    So much for boating in Lake lure?!?!?!

    Their excuse is the excessive drought we are having this year, but I have other ideas why. Our lake, that is town owned and has always been kept with in 6" of full pool in years past, is now down almost two feet and falling fast. Our launch ramp has went from just floating the boat off the...

    The toy barn is a little full now.

    Today we put the boat in the garage to make sure we had enough room for the SS. Looks like I made the garage just big enough for the two. On a great note, the view of the TV from the capton's seat, with a beer in hand of course, is priceless.

    The absolute best polish for our Sea Rays?

    Have done several searches on this, but like my SS, I usually find that the best polish is usually hard to find and can be a bit more money, but worth it at the end. It took me a few years to find the right polish brand for my car, and the brand Menzerna offers me everything from the cutting to...

Brand I can't remember, but if you need it I can walk out side....my lazy ass :grin: . Also will...

    What a beautiful evening on lake lure!!(PICS)

    Here is a few pics of the family hanging out in the middle of the lake soaking in the atmosphere. We launched the boat for the evening to cruise down for dinner, let the daughter swim a little and head home. Its hard to find a better view than this one. :wink: And doing it in a Sea Ray is...

    Anyone ever been to Lake Lure?

    Thought I would ask if any of you boaters have ever driven through the town of Lake Lure and had a chance to check out my local lake. I will be the first to say, its a small lake. It costs me, as a non lake lure resident, $600 a year to put the boat on the water(yes you read that $$$$ right...

    Thinking about taking the boat with us to Cedar Point

    Thought I would chime in and ask a few questions. We drive up there from NC twice a year to spend some relaxing time at the Breakers Hotel spending quality time at the park. With our purchase this past winter of the Sea Ray, I was thinking a week next summer at CP with the boat may be in...
