Just wondering if anyone is planning on heading out this weekend?
-
I have an out of town wedding ... so I'm out ...
-
yep, any ideas ?
-
No just figured if it was nice I would prob be out somewhere. Should hopefully have the neighbors boat up and running as well. Maybe just out on White Bear Lake?
I do have a saints game Sat evening to go to.

No the points were bad end of last year and we just finally ordered them the other day. We are changing over to a pertronix set up

Welcome to the forum Lanky2Dope !
Hope you can meet up with the group some weekend ...
Have you heard about the Red Wing meet ?
Can you post some pictures of your boat ?
-
Shawn:
WBL sounds cool, was out there last night. dont kno the lake well, is there anywhere a guy can beach and swim and stuff ?
u bringing the fam ?
i was thinking something around noon.
Sean:
the river up their looks cool on the map, no channel :/
i assume you kno it well enough to navigate.
what time were you guys thinking about heading out ?
-
Joe there is a place to beach. Basically in the middle of the lake there is a point that comes out towards the south side of the lake. There is a volleyball net set up there. That is where everyone goes to hang out and swim. Weekends on the lake can get busy. The boat launch fills up fast on weekends. I usually try to get there by 11 otherwise it can be hard to find a parking spot for the truck and trailer. Last yes the family would be with. Here is an original artwork piece I put together. Mike or Scott would know the lake probably a little better that I
-
Thanks... that's handy
we will see about getting going earlier, a guy is spose to stop and buy what left of a blown up evinrude 50hp in the morning, i could use the cash.
-
Right there is no chanel but there really aren't too many areas of concern until you go upstream from elk river. We're planning late morning on Sunday, no specific time yet.

late morning sounds good
-
Got Brian's bot up and running last night I had no idea how easy the Pertronix is to install. Sounds like he may be coming out on sat as well if we go.
Only thing it is not supposed to be that warm if we planned on swimming. Only a high of 70.
I am thinking about just working on the 23 or start pulling apart the parts boat.

Joe, We have been to Mpls from Ft Snelling several times, we may hook-up with you if it gets nice.
-
Prob not going out tomorrow either. Thinking the 23 has not got any attention so I will prob work on that if anyone is in the area feel free to stop by.
-
Well...
Missippi north of champlen is too shallow to navigate :(
Put in elk river, made it about a mile
We could not go back up stream so I towed Sean to the ramp in champlen
-
Not a good day for you or Sean !
-
Ouch for both of you guys!!!!
-
What a bummer Joe!
-
Mine was easier to fix
-
And all better
-
I was thinking about coming with you guys. Sorry to say I am glad I stayed home and power washed the house and deck.
-
Joe........... you are amazing!
Sorry to hear you guys had such bad luck though. At least no fiberglass got wrecked.
