Congrats on the ride! Most all of us have started somewhere smaller than we are. It's called 2ftidous, or in my case, for my past two boats, 4ftidous... :D

Welcome and congrats. I am not too far from you. We go to Ceaser Creek often, but mainly go south for the bigger lakes.

Congrats, Rick!! That will be a great boat for Erie or Cumberland. I had a Sundowner first, so I took a very big step (IMO) moving to the 278. We love it though! Just think, you skipped a step anyway. In central Ohio myself. My home lake is Alum Creek. I know we will be visiting a few others this year though. Never heard of Ceasers, think I need to check that one out :?:

Congrats from another Ohio newbie! I have a slip at Geneva State park, actually just got a call that everything checked out fine and it is in the water. I'll be there Friday to see it floating for the first time (I hope it's still floating) and commence to learning how to run everything.

No "Earned it" is her old name....I should probably name it Stole it... lol... I was thinking "Get ur Shine On" ..... Kinda after the country song, and we kinda like Apple Pie moonshine. What do you think, is that to long? Considered just Shine On, and doing something like the dreamworks logo with the kid sitting in a crescent moon fishing. Again the play on Moon shine.

Since you have them hosted on flickr, you just click on the share icon in the bottom right, from the pop-up click on "Grab the HTML/BBB code" select the resolution you want and then click on the BBB code button. Copy that into here like this:
