Come on now. If Texas is so great then how come you're here?:argue:
Most of us living in Arizona aren't from here, but.............here we are.
In fact I'll go a step further and say I'm from Michigan originally.
I liked it there alot. Two things made me leave..............job market
(or the lack thereof), and 8 month long winters. Been living here for
some 20 + years. I've had a job the entire time and the only coldass'd
white stuff I see is around the sides of my deep freeze when I reach
in for some groceries.
I'm even heading back to Michigan this week for a two week vacation.
I only go in the summer time though. :)

I really thought I would just end up buying another boat to be honest rather than getting around to fixing it. For me the hardest part is done.

The 10 lane ramp was lots of fun. Between the normal rookies on the ramp, the wind blowing like crazy, 3' rollers crashing on the ramp, and waves big enough to move my trailer around as I'm headed for it, yeah, it would have been a handful in a low freeboard boat. My bilge pumps were working overtime and I saw a few open bow wakeboard boats with buckets dumping water out of the bow while they were waiting to get off the water. It was the 2nd worst I've seen that lake. :crossx:
Did make for a fun run in from Humbug though. :D :D :D

This is in Humbug before the wind really kicked up:

Shortly after that, the whole place was white capped, if that gives you any indication of what the main body of the lake looked like.

Are they good lakes for jet boats? I am buying a California Performance 19. Will this boat do all right on these lakes? Have read about these lakes a lot on the boards and wouldnt mind checking them out. Are there hotels close by?
