We used to do the same thing with tubes behind the pontoon, last year was our first with our boat and it was much more fun. Can't exactly tow a Super Mable behind the 'toon.

DuBay is nice with a sandy bottom, the Tiki Bar will be the best place for you to launch, I tried two other launches and couldn't get off the trailer.

My parents have a place about a block from Petenwell, I've fished on my dad's boat a little, but would like to launch below the dam and cruise to Castle Rock. I'll probably take mine up this June.

Here is the Prop Shop Info:
Northside Prop Shop
34652 Wisconsin Ave
Okauchee, WI 53069
Phone : (262) 567-3337

I had to buy the prop and he let me take it out for testing, if I didn't like it I could return it for a refund. I think it was somewhere around $160 for a 4-blade aluminum prop with the Volvo hub.

Also, if you buy anything at West Marine sign up for their new boat owers discount.

I picked up my mushroom anchor for about $15 from Farm & Fleet.

I also bought the Walmart fenders last year, but found they were a little small when rafting up. I ordered some larger fenders from Overtons, but they seem huge compared to what I had. I guess I'll see what works best.

Last spring, I think I scoured every store looking to see when the boating stuff came out because there was so much that we needed.

Fenders: bigger=better IMO. The biggest ones you can store comfortably.

Sure, as long as you don't mind selling your soul to buy there.

wkearney I know what your saying I just hate paying a premium price for fenders and dock line from worst marine when it is the same exact brand. But there are many of things I have payed a premium for :roll:
