Matt the water was 28' deep there, so no standing.
And if you drive a boat up on those float thingies, how the heck do you get it back off?

@Dub- that's a good picture of happy face!

You guys are tall.. haha

You drive them on like a jet ski. They use a weeench that helps secure it. Then the air pump inflates the rear section.

Then realease the bladder. Give the back weeench a tug.. disconnect..Put the drive down.. cross your fingers and REVERSE 😂.

I’ll take a look.

Great pics y'all!

I usually forget to take on-water shots when out with family and friends. Yesterday I went out by myself to try and find the source of water in bilge, wifey was doing girl stuff and my daughter was with grandma. Nothing to do for 6 hours, might as well go to the lake :) No luck on the bilge water, but I did meet up with a local guy who lives out at the lake, we floated and drank some water and other fizzy things. I always forget how big our Cobalts are. His is an early 90's 19' Sea Ray Ski Ray. Had to represent Team Teal! :D

Also thought to get a shot tied up to the dock as I was walking up to get the truck & trailer. Still the biggest boat down there (if you ignore the ones in the covered slips :lol: )

A7, must be some correlation between retiring & getting in the picture! We get to see your smiling face now.

T550, gorgeous lake shots.
