Table Rock Lake

Bottom Line said:
I just saw your other post. Your boat looks great. I will be dewinterized this week. I know there is a storage place or two on 265, not too far from the entrance to State Park Marina. I am not on that road too often, so there may be other places. Have you boated on Table Rock before?

Thanks for the help and the compliment! She is an oldy but a goody in my eyes. I have boated on table rock a few times. We used to make a trip down here every couple of years when i was younger. Last year my girlfriend and I came down several times for picnics, fishing off the shore and some swimming. One day last summer i rented a boat from the marina and we were hooked. The lake is so beautiful. So I took a chunk of my sign on bonus for joining the guard and bought my boat this winter. Debating now if i should dewinterize next weekend or wait til my next opportunity which would be the 2nd week of april.
 
What happened to that gal "Drama Queen"? She was sure into her SeaRay and CSR but it seems along time since she has been around here. Just wondering.
 
Woody...she has not been around for awhile. I think because of the economy, they got out of boating for awhile.

Tim...do you mean a Sea Doo PWC or one of their little jet boats? Any leads on a job???

PWC. Not much available. I am hopefully meeting with someone this week to run some businesses for him, but we shall see. Still looking for a business to buy that won't tie me to St. Louis 24/7/365. If I can't get to the lake, it's not worth it!

Hopefully I will be down before Easter to dewinterize and clean up the boat.
 
Yes we were out on Saturday....absolutely awesome....mid 70's and very little wind.

Jeff, did you guys get out yet? We are planning on going down over the Easter break to get the boat cleaned up and ready for the season.

went out on friday. a little cloudy but warm and very smooth water. if anyone else was out and saw some crazy kids wakeboarding in trunks.....that was me
 
We just had our 3rd weekend on the boat. Saturday afternoon was awesome....a bit windy....but warm weather. Kurt...I have noticed some of the pollen on darker colored cars. Have you dewinterized yet?
 
Hey, that is a nice upgrade Jeff. Sweet!

We went down Thursday and left Saturday. Got the boat dewinteized on Friday. I still can't believe how easy winterizing and dewinterizing are. I really can't believe how much I've paid to have someone else do it in the past. We got it all washed and polished from the snaps down and she shines. That Starbrite polish with PTEF is amazing stuff. Our kids are gone for a retreat next weekend, so I think we are going to head down and hopefully get out on the water...
 
We went down Friday night and came home Saturday afternoon. If looked like the rain was going to hang around awhile. To much rain....looks like 2008 again.....lake level on Saturday was around 915....today it is 932.

Ha! No, but I think I can show you how to get your kids to do it...:grin:

I put half the first coat on after my wife and kids washed the boat and put the other half of the polish on (I was dewinterizing). I did the entire second coat by myself in about 45 minutes. No strain, just wipe on, let dry and wipe off.

I can't believe the lake topped 935! It was 916 when we got down there on Holy Thursday!
 
I got my service finished up and started the motor and realized one of the blue plastic drain plugs was cross threaded. Looks like I need to clean the threads and possibly run a tap in it. It is going to be down to the wire trying to get ready for the weekend.
