The weather was awesome today. Did anyone get out on the boat today? Normally I would have function tested my boat today but work sucked me for an hour or two at prime time. Did anyone else get out?

Hey. We went to the lake (Loudoun) but the water is way down. I'm new to this and maybe you can tell me, is there still enough ramp submerged to launch the boat? I'd hate to back the trailer off the end of the ramp. But you are right, the weather was awesome today.

Which ramp? At concord you need to hug the boat dock at much as possible or else you will fall off the ramp. Give it two weeks and they will raise the water.

We went to Unitia and International Harbour in Friendsville. Opposite direction of Concord.

Beautiful day. The wife and I just rode around all day.... looking at houses, listening to music, and having a couple of beverages. Overall a great day......!!!

We did get out too ... Lake Anna in BumpASS, VA ... water was about 58 on the hot side, air about 66. Little surfing and my son's pre-teen friends went tubing! 120 degree rule with a few degrees to spare!

Hey what are you guys doing for insurance? Do you have a year-round policy? I've got my policy through BIA in order to get that 5 year Indmar Warranty but the policy has that "winter lay-up" period from Nov 1 to Apr 1. Temps were 70 yesterday and 76 today so I was really itching to get out on the water... hard to justify without insurance though because I definitely can't afford another boat without it :roll:

We went yesterday at Lake Lanier (Atlanta) with air temp 74 and water temp 48. Daughter and Son-in-Law both surfed with full wet suits and boots on. Water was clear and great, and the sun even better! After putting my toes in the water to launch the boat, I could not feel my toes to put my sandals back on. I passed this week on surfing but hoping for more courage next weekend.

Glad you called. My policy has a down period from Jan - Feb.
saves a little money. We are usually riding all the way to Thanksgiving and start back again in March. Usually go with friends on Jan 1st each year.
