Coming aboard from St Louis (Webster Groves), MO

Good morning, gang. New to the group… you got a good thing going here.

Taking delivery of our 2015 212x next week… the kids met her at the boat show, and she's been named already.

And… saying a fond farewell to our 2008 180 Challenger SE… one of her best action-shots is attached.

Looking forward to learning from/sharing with you all!

We get to Table Rock and Kentucky Lake as often as we can. Lake Michigan, once a year. Friends have a country place near Piedmont- so weekends at Clearwater are nice. For day trips, I prefer Lake Yeager in Litchfield… been meaning to check out Rend Lake, too. I'll add Alton to the list!

Not recommended in a bass boat… with a 1000lb outboard strapped to the transom.

That's a cool action shot! Please tell me the beer in the passenger's hand survived the landing.

My brother-in-law spilled nary a drop...!

(My teenage daughter was to the starboard side of the cockpit, in the 'crash position'.)

Welcome aboard @SleepyJean , looks like you won't be asking about unloading the pump and what cavitation sounds like! And congrats!!!

 

[Jim Robeson]

Welcome aboard @SleepyJean !! We have a little place on Table Rock, give us a shout when you come down next time and congrats on that new boat!!

@SleepyJean, congratulations on your new boat. There is a decent size group here in the St. Louis area, me being part of it. I grew up in South St Louis and recently moved to Saint Peters. We would go over to rend lake every weekend. Rend Lake is shallow and gets very shallow in the coves. I like the lake but the hour and a half drive to get there I didn't like. Now we boat with sx210owner and others from here on the Mississippi. my family absolutely loves table rock lake. We try to go 2 -3 times a year. Where do you stay when you go to Table Rock Lake? We normally stay somewhere on Indian Point.

There is a group of us going down to table rock june 10th- 14th. We are staying in aunts creek area. Check out the thread on here. if you'll be down at the lake your more than welcome to join us

Shelbyville is a blast and a GREAT group of boaters.
