Great Lakes Launch Dates

I'm rack stored so the earliest they will let us take them out is May 1st.....which is fine with me. Its going into the shop for some upgrades anyway....
 
Mine is sitting in the water in the slings being commissioned this morning. Just in time for Easter Weekend.
 
Splash date April 17. Cedar Point won't let us in until April 23 so I'll have to "borrow" a dock until then. Boats waxed and READY!View attachment 24605
 
It's in!

Boat went in last Thursday. We spent last weekend there and going back this weekend. Thank god for that reverse air heat!!!! Last week we were the only boat at our dock, but I know a few more are in now. We've been working on a bunch of updates. I'll post before and afters when the projects are completed.
 
As of yesterday I was scheduled for April 24th at St Clair Shores Mi and hopefully a delivery to my dock in Point Edward Ontario first of May. Like to spend a couple nights on the boat in Mi before the return for a good cleanup and rum tasting :smt101

It wasn't that bad today. I just got back from delivering a boat from Saugatuck to St. Joe, had to turn back because of fuel separation but the 31 Tiara handled the 4-6"s nicely!
 
Congrats Captain Ray on earning your license. I won't be launching for another 2 weeks since next weekend I'll be in AZ closing on our new house so hopefully this will be my last Great Lakes Spring.
 
We are hoping for next Friday. From Kenosha to Waukegan. 70 d w n winds at our back.
