    Illinois limits boats to 2 POB

At the time Skipper Bud’s(within 5 miles of me) didn’t sell Yamaha, and Lake Villa was about the same distance as Oshkosh. I bought in February...

    Newbie Boat Lift Help

    Also I think I would pick furthest out as well, easy in easy out and like you said, away from shore, less likely to annoy others with you music and such.

    Newbie Boat Lift Help

    This sounds awesome! I think you’d be ok with a regular cantilever or similar type lift. I would call around to local marine dealers or I’ve seen services around here that do lift/pier installs that could point you in the right direction. I pretty much drive right by you almost every day,my...

    It’s not too far north from you! About 20 minutes north of Madison right off the interstate.

    We’re also going to cancel this year. Always my favorite trip of the summer. Looking forward to a huge comeback for 2021! Bittersweet though, as we’re taking this opportunity to head to Table Rock instead.

    Surfable wake?

    Anything is “surfable”with a rope, but you wouldn’t get any push from that unless your weigh like 90 lbs. You’re up in Point right? How’s the water temps up that way?

    Same thoughts here. This is the first thing on my schedule that I think may actually stay on my schedule, and even then, not 100% confident. I’ll still be there though! Just have to wave from afar, and sanitize the Jell-O shots I catch!

    I bought a school bus!

    As long as it’s “not for hire” meaning personal use only you wouldn’t need a CDL. You can go out and buy a full size motor coach that weighs 80,000 pounds and has air brakes and don’t need anything more than a class D.

    Show us your tow rigs!

    Forgot to add to this thread. ‘08 6.4. A few “aftermarket options” keep her in one piece, with extra power, mpg, and a little black smoke on occasion...
