I have had the boat out in 4 different locations and trying to find the right place for me to boat , I now live in the west side of the state near LK Michigan and grew up on the east side of the state Lk ST Clair where I got spoiled very calm water and lots to do. Lk Michigan is a bit rough at times you would think that the ocean is rough people that leave the navy some cant handle the waters of lk mi my wife included she cant handle the waves of lk mi. Back to update seems I have found a great spot in Muskegon and a marina called Great Lakes Marina, its on Muskegon lk and has an attached lk called Bear lk water is very calm for the wife and friends and quick acess to lk mi for me. There is some going ons in the area beaches dunes restaurants and lots of go fast boats and no problems from the local sheriff everyone I have spoken to says you have to do something real stupid for a pull over, I can also boat north to Potesky which is a fun place.
So far I have used 2 tanks of gas lucky part here the company I work for has been giving us gas cards and so far nothing out of pocket and there is 3/4 tank ready for the next time out. I road the harley out to lk mi and the gl marina the water was so still it looked like a sheet of ice

so my next move is winterize the boat for the year and next year im going to do an in / out service I think I can save gas to and fro and make life easier. Next year should be a good one for my type of boating its not a real fast or big boat but should be a great all purpose toy. Should mention this there are roughly 20 40 foot go fast boats at the marina this place has a pool , social areas , showers and gas 449 a gal.
Thanks again for all your help take care Gregg
