Just wanted to shoot the bull with you guys. I haven’t been posting much. I’m still working on boats, but now I really have no lake run them in. They sold the lake I usually run in, fenced it off and put up no trespassing signs. Someone did hook their truck to it and rip one pile out the ground lol. Guess they were mad. Bunch of kids swimming in it and tearing the land up with 4wds. I’m really thinking about selling a couple of my fast boats I have left because no where to run. I have small ponds available for some smaller boats I have so I’ll have to settle on that when I get the itch. I really need to find a piece of land and build a house with a lake. What you guys been up to? I’m still around and I lurk, and I’m still helping people in the background. I miss the days of going to the lake every weekend and posting new stuff for you guys to read about.

Good to hear from you Travis. That sucks about your lake. You got to find another place, there's got to be a good one close around there somewhere. Why don't you get that one down out of the rafters that's in the plastic bag and send it my way to run it for you, so it don't go bad just sitting there.

Dude, I’ve used some of your experience that you’ve posted. Not to bring up an old thread, I haven’t said thank you. Thank you for posting setups and stuff. Thought I seen a week ago about you losing lake and that the city/ county was working on replacement? Maybe not you.Vortex 22 hydro ammo 36-50

Lol not a bad idea. Actually I’m working on a deal with a member here for that boat. I’ve sold him a couple boats and I’m building one for him now. He plans in running it in flint, which really excites me.Originally posted by MADRCER View Post32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

I’m waiting on them to remove the hoses but it still a pain in the ass to get out there.
My only other choice is a campground I go to that has a big lake but it’s not big enough to run 100+mph boat I don’t think. I may have to start searching again. I got spoiled by this lake next to me.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

I haven’t been doing much either. Down in Florida for the last month while they build the retirement home. Talk about stress I would be happy as a pig in s#$t if finding a new place to run my boats was my biggest problem.

Sorry to hear about your lake. That blows. I envy those with easy water access. It takes a lot of extra time and planning to make the trip to our local spots and as life gets busier, its harder for me to play with the toys on the weekends.
Tell you what, if I win the power ball drawing tonight, I'll buy you a lake.Vac-U-Tug Jr (13mph)Comment

Yea not having a place to run really blows. I could always sneak in there and I doubt anyone would say anything but I’ll let it cool down for now.Originally posted by srislash View Post32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

Ah, no point creating a hassle for yourself. Perhaps try to reach out to the new owner and get permission. You wouldn’t be out there all that much.Originally posted by kfxguy View PostComment

True but I have no idea who owns it now. I’ll see if I can find out.Originally posted by srislash View Post32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment
