Hey guys,

I will be travelling to Panama City for the weekend of the 13th-15th of August. I will be travelling with my boat, and probably leaving it at the Treasure Island Marina.

I know @Slugger55 , @ToddW850 , and @Big Shasta live close by.

What do you guys say we have a mini meetup somewhere?

I'm in! I stopped by yesterday and talked to JBP and you were right he is in hiding. The ladies at the desk said that I was lucky to catch him. @Big Shasta I'm sure someone will need a deck hand....;)

@Slugger55 it was nice to meet you!

We might be able to meet up on a Saturday. Let me know when you'll be out there and let me see what I can do. I have a 1 year old son and a pregnant wife at the moment so boating has not been possible nearly as much here lately.

These sharp looking Yamahas are known to cause those types of issues!!! ;)

Wish yall were doing this next weekend, I'm going to get my boat finally.
Hopefully the weather will be nice so I can go out there one more time, it'll just be me and my 3 year old so I won't be doing a whole lot with just us two.

I checked on your boat the last time I was over at the marina, 24th July.. I have since moved my boat to my house in King's Point. I couldn't justify paying Beacon Beach Marina when I can store it in my driveway, plus I spend a lot of time up at Deer Point Lake instead of the Bay. The Tourist with the pontoon boats has been out of control! The City is more worried about tourists on scooters, they really need to see what is happening on the Bay. Just say'in! Anyway, I just wanted to keep you informed about your boat...

Yes, I agree, those flippin pontoon rentals are a nightmare. They should at least require the coast guard course to rent one.

No secret how I feel about the rentals around there!

I appreciate you checking on it, I'll be glad to have it back close to me again.

Hey, Dam we were up there earlier, right before picking up the boat. My uncle works at Treasure Island pulling and putting boats in the water. Always a sight seeing him come around the corner with a big ol boat with 3 big outboards on the back...

Treasure island is about 2 miles from my house. I love living here but being boatless now really sucks.
