Can't wait to take a look at that new camper of yours @jcyamaharider. Kim and I are looking at getting one for next year.

We ended up getting a place in Findley because it was the only place my wife could find at the time. . We haven't ever been to Lake Shelbyville or the surrounding areas. Any helpful hints? Should I put in at Findley Marina or drive to Lithia and put in? Any other newbie advice is appreciated.
Totally launch at Findley. Nice ramp and right in the middle. Might be faster than driving around to lithia anyway.

I am selfishly happy that I dont have anything down on the floor now. I have seen and read the horrible stories of getting the old stuff up...good luck, hooe it doesnt fight you all the way.

:(I feel your pain! Had some crazy hard adhesive under my deck traction mat, I spent the afternoon sniffing acetone and scrapping with a razor blade. Don't lament. As mentioned, they install goes much faster. Just watch out, that deck is slippery without the hydroturf. It's gonna be super nice when you are done! :winkingthumbsup"

I'd be willing to see if that booster ball keeps the jet blast off the kids on the tube...
