The weather's starting to cool down a fair bit here and yesterday was awesome in Mentone.
The water's now down under 20c & is starting to shock the system! :oops:

Bad idea going past this boat, with the Wife on board!

So we finally got her splashed this weekend.. Got to the lake a little later than planned, but was otherwise, uneventful! Only snapped a couple lousy pictures though, and we spent the weekend getting the cabin cleaned up, and ready to go, cockpit needs a good hose down too. Weekend was pretty good over all, temp wise, but was pretty brisk overnight Friday into Saturday (32*F), but it was a comfortable 70*F in the cabin.

First Pic is from my wife's iPhone (which apparently takes lousy low light photos) coming into the slip Friday night, with none of the equipment on the Arch or the bimini's mounted on the frames...

This one the next day, after installing all the equipment...

TFD2001 - Nice to see your 328 back in the water. If I attempted to launch today, I believe our 328 would require ice breaker capabilities.

Oh well, maybe I can at least try and get some bottom paint on this weekend while we wait for the ice to completely melt in our area.

Took a trip this weekend to some of our friends boat down at Lake of the Ozarks. Spent the weekend with our friends on their new-to-them, '09 Formula 370ss. Beautiful boat, and always a blast at the Ozarks!

Their boat:

Our place of residence for the weekend as usual:

And one of my favorite boats down there, "Miller Time" is a 2014 68' Sunseeker Predator. This was her running down the lake on Saturday, probably running near 50mph (not all she has) and throwing her rooster tail... That boat is pretty amazing how big she is, how fast she can be, and how little her wake is. She's running on two big diesel engines and surface drives, that are half out of the water when on plane..

Bottom paint this weekend for me. Tentative Splash date May 15th.

I'll be taking my boat to the Ozarks last weekend in June through the 4th of July weekend, when we leave, we leave the boat down there for the week to get her bottom paint redone... Get done better and right down there for half what it would cost me at the home lake...

Out of storage!

Got to test out the new tow vehicle as well.

First boat is in the marina. Won't be long now.

A lot of these pictures make me want to move to a warmer climate.
We got ours out of storage on 4/23

Did some my wake up and maintenance the next week.

Took her out for the first time of the year on 5/1. Not too bad for Wisconsin. It looked a lot like fall, but it was still great to get out on a 65 degree evening. Especially after having the boat wrapped up for 7 months.

We are looking forward to a lot of time on the water this summer.

Last weekend we took the new boat out for the first time...gotta make some videos of how sweet it sounds...

That green is an awesome color. I like it a lot.

Thank you, the forest green was only available on the 246 for one year and I have yet to see another one.

The tinted windows on the RS look really slick

Winter does suck up here but it make us appreciate summer that much more. Plus, it give me time to pay off the summer fuel bill

I have not seen that paint scheme ever before either. It is definitely a sporty version. I think that will help with re-sale if I decide to do that. You are absolutely right about the appreciation of summer. Fuel bill will be a little nicer this year though, it is about 1.20 a gallon cheaper here!

Splashed last week! Heading up this weekend to install new canvas!

A view from our marina, if you look close in the back ground that freighter is the Arthur Anderson. A bit of history, she was the first to answer the SOS of the Edmond Fitzgerald and first on the scene after she went down..Still plying the great lakes today!!

Hey Michael, looks like a change of scenery for you. When did you move from South Bay to Harbor Club?
