No, you're to infer that I did a LOT of 1000 - 2000 RPM running with an occaisal forray to small bursts of WOT (in wide open places) as it got into early morning. It was a bright night real good visibility, and I had to conseve gas to make sure it lasted ALL night. My first real hard run at WOT was at 9am when I chased down a small bass boat for 3 miles to get directions. hehe -W Guess you have forgotten about our last thread? That's okay... However, you have in the past made references to you drinking and driving a boat. You have also made statements about "turning donuts" in open water to clear lilies. You have demonstrated to me...well...that you just aren't too bright, and this last "episode", only confirms my beliefs. Glad you don't boat on my lake... -- -Netsock "It's just about going fast...that's all..." http://home.columbus.rr.com/ckg/ |

![]() No, I didn't forget about our last thread... Much like O'Reilly - I let *you* have the last word. ![]() Now if you wish to provoke a new thread... keep it up. ![]() You can clear lillies with a prop. You can also drink and drive a boat, just don;t drive a boat drunk, or worse yet fast and drunk. They don't call a pontoon boat a "party barge" for nothing. -W "Netsock" wrote in message ...

And with the Ohio standards lowered to ..08%, it makes it almost impossible to "drink legally". ![]() And what exactly is the point to clearing (killing) lillies? -- -Netsock "It's just about going fast...that's all..." http://home.columbus.rr.com/ckg/ |

![]() "Netsock" wrote in message - You can "party" without alcohol. And what fun is that? hehe ![]() And with the Ohio standards lowered to .08%, it makes it almost impossible to "drink legally". ![]() Agreed... around here they tell me that the Lake Patrols don't bother things that only troll, and that's what we only do if there's been any drinking on the boat, usually always at night when the lake is empty. The Phantom Menace II is equipped with a 110 perverter and a blender - frozen drinks on demand. My only real fear on a nightime "booze crooze" is that there will be a time that a "real drunk" will be out late at WOT with no lights and I won't have the reaction time to power up and hammer it out of HIS way. Remember - my cousin Tom was killed by a drunk boater who came up on him from behind at WOT. I don't have a fear of ME trolling around at 1000rpm with a daquerior or 4 in me at 9 at night, I have a real fear of drunken "yahoos" who are doing the same thing I am only with the hammer down. During the day drinking on my boat is minimal to non-existant, dehydration sucks on a hot afternoon. The one exception being that I might drop a quick single beer if I'm about to wind up on the wrong end of the tube and wanna deaden the pain nerves a bit. And what exactly is the point to clearing (killing) lillies? Lillies that infest a swim-beach area need to die - that simple. Two of the gifts that our creator endowed man with are the ability to alter his environment to suit his needs - and the ability to make fire. Using both in combo allows rapid defoliation of desired areas. -W |

![]() "Clams Canino" wrote in message ink.net... Where's your lake? ![]() -W "Netsock" wrote in message - Glad you don't boat on my lake... It varies. We have a private 22 acre lake we use for skiing. It has a large 2-boat house, and our private campground, and that's were we keep our Malibu Skier (350 cid/310 hp)...I probably spend most of my time there, as my kids like to ski a lot. I take the turbine boat to Alum Creek reservoir (north of Columbus Ohio) almost exclusively. It is unlimited in HP and speed, and is close enough that I can be there in the early am for good water and little traffic. For an adult day out, I like to take the Cheetah (460 cid/425 hp/Berkeley jet) to Buckeye Lake (about 15 miles east of Columbus). Its just a fun place, with a lot of hot boats, neat canals to explore, and lots of water front restaurants/bars with live entertainment. I have taken the turbine boat there, but it generates WAY too much attention. I'm also about 2 hours away for Lake Erie, and get up there about 3 or 4 times a year. We visit the Bass islands, and get in some good Walleye fishing as well. My favorite spot is Lake Cumberland in KY. Its about 6 hours away, but still close enough for a weekend get away. I go down there at least 6 times a year, with some visits lasting at least a week Anyway, I believe you are in SC, so I am still safe. ![]() -- -Netsock "It's just about going fast...that's all..." http://home.columbus.rr.com/ckg/ |

![]() One thing I like about Harwell already is that it's got many and varied water types. Everything from big open water with miles across to coves , small "sub-lakes", rivers etc etc. I'll never see all of this lake in my lifetime. -W "Netsock" wrote in message news:cip60p$er4 It varies. snip |

Lanier is like Hartwell, many, many miles of coves, etc. Each different. |

My word, skiing with a 310hp boat on a 22 acre lake. That's about a 1000 feet X 800 feet, are you sure that's enough horsepower? In most states it's "no-wake" within 150 feet from shore, that leaves about 700 feet X 500 feet to ski. Good luck! |

Actually an acre is 660x66' so if the lake is narrow, would be a long slalom course. |
