I am planning on coming down on Sun morn. It will be Me , Kylee, and Jessica What Launch are we going to. Is there an address so I can GPS it.

Should I bring my small grill? Or are we going somewhere to eat.
I think this has become an addiction.

515 Nymphara Lane
Red Wing MN, 55066

Intimidator it is. Found the lower unit leaking oil today. Winter project I guess.

While I was outside my house checking out a boat my brother just bought Lance drive past my place, said he was going to try to stop by Saturday, I told him it is Sunday. Sounded like he might make it.

My son Paul found a replacement worker for himself for Sunday, so I will be able to come.

Here is the website of Colvill Park:  http://www.red-wing.org/colvillpark.html

Brian is launching from Island Campground.

What time to group at Colvill? 10 AM?

I say picnic style to keep it simple. The CVX's do not have much room in the back seat. Intend to strap two 5 gallon gas tanks to the back seat and the cooler will be on the floor. We have alot of miles to cover and maybe they can be traveled at lower speeds. I'm learning to enjoy the lower speeds of 20 to 30 MPH. Debating whether to use the 20" or 22" Raker, and inclined to put on the 22" for better gas mileage. Still should hit over 50 MPH.

We also should be open to take passengers for those who want to come without boats. Any spare seats available?

I'm with you on that Brandon, then the reality of severe cold sets in and......the thought goes away 'til next time!
I am going boating tomorrow and taking 3 of my granddaughters.  I hope to get the diamond on and test it while were're out.
Ya'll have a safe trip.

I will have a full boat because my brother and his lady are planning on joining me also(The josh turner concert was his idea).  I'm still planning on colvill park @10am, picnic style is probably what I'll have for lunch.

Sounds good I will see you guys tomorrow. I will bring my small grill as well if anyone would like to cook or warm something up. I will prob bring some brats.

Does anyone have a larger diameter 21p or 22p prop I could try.

On a longer run, I tend to stay around 30mph.  The boat gets the best fuel economy between 30-32.  Of course, I have 55 gallons in the floor, so having to re-fuel is not as much of a worry.

Is it agreed then that we group at Covill Park around 10 to 10:30 AM Sunday morning? I suggest that people bring telephone lists of the Glastron group.

I do, it's a Quicksilver 22" (not sure of the diameter, but it's much larger than the one we're currently using).  I don't know that I have any prop grease left, so you might bring some of that if you have it, and a prop wrench.  Mike, my mom, Liz and myself plan to be there around 10:30, which is more like 11 Bishop time  :D.

If you are not at Covill Park by 10:30 AM or so, call one in the group so we can wait for you.  

Covill Park, note the public landing:

Well we made it from Red Wing all the way down to Alma and back approx 35miles each way.

7 boats in total  made the trip both ways with everybody making it under there own power. Good day.

Weather was perfect for a fall run. Could not keep track of the Bald Eagles as they were everywhere.

Of coarse Gregg I did not take any pics, left that up to Amy as she has a lot better camera than I do. Does not take much.

Also the guy with the 235hp cv16 snap a few as we were leaving the landing said he will post them also.
