Brought our baby home yesterday

[MNdrifter]

After buying the boat January 4, we finally got to see it for the first time yesterday. Thanks @txav8r for the checklist. It really helped keep me focused. There were several little things that they took care of on the spot.
We spent the evening having drinks and waving to cars going bye.
I was very pleased with how well my Dakota pulled the boat. No problems going up hill or stopping.
The Mississippi and Lake Pepin are open now. I just need some warmth.

@jetboater4life my wife's family has always boated on Lake Pepin. We have a slip in Wabasha, so most of our time will be around there. I've never been on Zumbro but will have to get out there to check it out. A friend also wants us to check out Byllesby.

@jetboater4life my wife's family has always boated on Lake Pepin. We have a slip in Wabasha, so most of our time will be around there. I've never been on Zumbro but will have to get out there to check it out. A friend also wants us to check out Byllesby.

Lake Zumbro is only 15minutes away so I zip up there after work a lot on summer weekdays. It's a great lake for water sports because it has long narrow stretches that are sheltered from wind so the waves don't get large. Lake Zumbro is affectionately called the Zcumbro, but last fall they redid a group of 15 homes that were bad septic system violators. This fall they will be dredging out a large portion of it which will open up another long ski run. Lake Zumbro doesn't have any public beaches so once your on the water that's where you stay. Fishermens inn is a good place to eat after a long hard day of water sports.

I've been to Lake Byllesby a few times and there are a couple of public beaches that are nice but it's a 50 minute drive. It's a big open lake so lots of room. The current is slow moving so by mid July it gets full of string algae which makes the water look like green soup. The stuff is harmless but it coats everything upon exit from the water.

I hope to take my boat to the Mississippi this year but we'll see how things go. I started a thread about getting together somewhere in pool 4.
