...........your marina?


For me............26 miles...........a little over 1/2 hour drive.


On Carlyle lake in about 1985, it cost me about $1000.00 to slip my 27
ft Chris craft on a nine month lease. their idea of maintenance was to
give you a call, and tell you that your boat was listing. and that was
about it. rub rails in bad shape and slip/dock barrels rusted and
leaking and plank work in need of dire repair.


New owners have changed a lot of that around int he last 10 years, but
I don't slip a boat anymore.


nearest lake is 30 mi. next would be Wabash river at 50, Carlyle lake
at 60, Lake Shelbyville at 70, and Ren Lake at 75-80, Decatur Lake 90
mi.


I usually just go to carlyle. Big lake , some shallow spots but not
bad. Loads of fun.


Not only loads of fun but a great activity for the entire family.- Hide quoted text -
