Administrators Horton Posted April 7, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted April 7, 2014 @you win. We could ski now but are waiting for the lake to be all the way full. Long term shore line grade is more important that that first ride.

Baller oldjeep Posted April 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted April 11, 2014 @MS - thanks. Hopefully we'll get open here soon but I guess if someone was really serious I know that I can head south a little and find somewhere to test. Bringing the boat back from WI tomorrow and I don't want to have 2 boats in the garage any longer than necessary. End HiJack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
