So jealous of all the boating pics. Got the boat back after 5 weeks at the shop. Had 3 inches of rain in the last 24 hrs, winds have now swung in NW @ 30-50 kts, and temps have dropped to 10 C (50F). Tomorrow looks like NW 30 kts. Back on shift Wed until July 11th. Keep the pics coming, it gives a fella hope.

Marzen loves The GOAT.... we met up with our friends that bought the 190 from us... Marzen seemed to love the 190 as much as Liquid... He made himself right at home!

Yeah, I think Marzen is very comfortable on the water.
Tomorrow, this little nugget gets her maiden voyage.
Now, hopefully, we can get past the marina this time..

Good luck... Looking forward to pictures.

Looks like she's trimmed up high. That's a fisherman's 50 right there. Lol.
Glad to see you back on. Get those Florida pictures rolling.

As I sit waiting for the storm to pass so we can load up the boat, I thought I would share a few pics from the weekend. We towed over to Lake Cumberland to visit our friends who happened to be the new owners of our old 190. It's great seeing his 3 kids all about that lake life. The 190 is serving them well... More pics later when I get them off the gopro. Sorry most of them are of the dog!

Fri was a great day full of sunshine... Sat started late as we waited out more rain in the am. Then we got chased off the lake by another storm but enjoyed some slip boating listening to the good boat jams. Followed by a good sunset.

Awesome pics y'all!

This was our first weekend at the lake. We had some challenges but it was a great weekend! The water is still 26 ft high and my dock is waaaay out there, and they dont have any flood ramps to get to it. So I used a little paddle boat to go back and forth.

20190614_192934.jpg

After sitting on the lift for 2 months the boat was nasty. Then I discovered both batteries dead as a hammer. And the Perko was off. Hmm... Well, they ran the wiring underground when they built this dock so there is still power. So plug in the charger and go back to the house.

Friday morning (paddlepaddlepaddle) I get back out there to discover the GFI was tripped. grr. So the batteries didn't charge at all. All well, flip the switch, the charger is on, so go to work. Wipe, clean, polish, wipewipewipe. 2 hours later I hit the starter and nothing. double grr

Long story short, I bought 2 new 27s and packed them out there in the paddle boat. Ever try to unload a heavyass battery up onto a dock from a paddle boat? I hoist the first one up on a lift and the paddle boat scoots backwards. GRR.

Now I'm stretched out like a horizontal plank, clinging to the battery with one hand and a bunk off the lift with the other, with my feet still in the paddle boat. But I'm NOT going to drop that expensive battery in the drink, so I power crunch the boat back under me with sheer willpower and stupidity.

Got the batteries up by the boat. But let's hit the starter one more time. VROOM! Whadaheck.... I just installed these last fall but they wont hold a charge. So swap 'em out.

Finally got about two hours on the water that evening and it was freakin perfect.

Saturday it rained. Ever heard that song "Have you ever seen the rain?" I'd like to punch that guy in the nose.

So in between showers we paddled out to the dock and did some slip boating like Jeff and Katie. We listened to the tunes, did a little reading, and it was awesome!

Last night it rained 3 more inches. And it was raining when we left.

Oh yeah.. no pictures of the paddle boat. Sorry

Man YT that's awful! This rain is just messing everyone up! I"m already saying my prayers for good weather for everyone's trip to Table Rock.

We are all good on the rain!!! WE.NEED.SUNSHINE!

But does anyone have security camera footage of you and the paddle boat v battery?? We need that!

Dead batteries /w the Perko off doesn't surprise me. Cobalt has this nasty habit of wiring things directly to the battery and bypassing the perko in the process. Some are good things, like our Bilge pump. Others like our stereo head unit and our trim pump, well maybe not as important? I am sure Cobalt has their reasons, but I wouldn't trust off on the perko as really being off.

Regardless of the cause that's rough weekend YT, I am hoping for good weather for table rock, sounds like we have all seen our share of rain this season.

And don't lie there are totally pics of the row boat. I don't blame you, I wouldn't share them either.

Exactly, too much rain! From the looks of the radar earlier TRL got another 2 - 3 inches of rain today. Was down last weekend and it was nice, not many floaties.

When your new boat gets to tie up next to your old boat! I even jumped back in the captain's seat and pulled our buddy skiing behind HIS 190. Brought back some great memories but I loce our 222...I wouldn't trade back...sorry Liquid! When we had to scoot back across the lake in the rain I was happy we were in the 222 and not the 190...big lake...big chop. I had no problems busting thru it all!
