We already have our reservations done for next year July 30th - August 3, just wondering who else has their reservations for this event already. Going to be a great time as usual and I hope to see/meet some new faces this year.

Edit: I changed my dates ( Wife corrected me )

 

[Bruce]

Are July 29th to August 2nd the official dates? I added it to the Calendar.

 

[Speedling]

It's for sure that weekend not the first full one?
Cumberland is also calling us and the group there is going to be considerable this year. Big family event and we will be pulling the boat and camper!

 

[jcyamaharider]

@Bruce , No that is when we are going to be there. I would get with @OperationROL for official dates.

I think it is July 31 to Aug 2 for official dates.

You are correct. The official dates are July 31 thru Aug 2, 2015. However, we will have folks there from Tuesday Jul 28 - Monday Aug 3, 2015. My crew always goes down on Wed and leaves on Sunday.

@OperationROL you may have to add a day to your trip just to get all us "Want to Ride" that new boat folks in.

Will be booking this weekend, along with the Table Rock trip. I was waiting on confirmed dates. I'm also trying to join the lake Murry trip but scheduling is tough right now.

I can't find any reason not to head down there next summer. How soon do I need to make a reservation?

Sooner rather than later. Lithia fills up quick. The meet up has grown so large that some have had to find reservations elsewhere.

I am new to the forum, but the family and I are planning on going. It is hard not to when it is only 2 1/2 hours away. I want to make reservations early, but does anyone know the best spot? Boat Crazy said Lithia resort. Any insight would be very helpful.

 

[jcyamaharider]

Lithia and Gregory's is where 90 percent of us stay at. A few camp at the camp ground which is really close. This is a great event and you will have a blast!!.

Thank you for the resort names. We will definitely be there. This may seem like a stupid question, but what is the stainless steel scupper? I have seen several people with the mod and am unfamiliar with it.

 

[jcyamaharider]

@Justin G. Wouldn't be a mod that you need. A supper valve is what , if the time came, makes the cabin self bailing. Meaning it can get the water out without a bilge pump. The stainless steel scupper mod is for those of us that have scupper valves under the water line. Yamaha fits our boats with plastic ones that tend to break. When I replaced the scupper on both of my boats they fell of in my hand. Your scupper is above the water line on the side of the center transom hump if I am not mistaken. Here is the best picture I have. Also pictured is a prototype of the wake wedge in the folded position for access to the ladder.

We booked our room a couple weeks ago. We are in room 9, 7 was already booked.

 

[sstegh]

We are in room 7. Sorry @mattschepker I didnt know you wanted it.

 

[mattschepker]

It's fine @sstegh, I actually think you might be saving us a little bit of money
