Hi all,
From reading through some of the threads here it looks like several of you are on Lake Norman. We've been in a boat club the last couple of years (Aquaventure over in Sherrill's Ford... on the other side of the railroad bridge by The Landing) and decided to take the plunge this year and get our own boat. We just had an offer accepted on a SeaRay 240 Sundeck.
I'm hoping to take delivery of the boat in the next 7-10 days (it's currently dry stacked at Lake Wylie) and then it will be time for the maiden voyage!
We live up in Mooresville and I have two little girls (6 & 3) who already love the lake (esp the Blue Parrot, we go there almost every weekend). We do a bit of everything - anchoring in coves, hanging on islands, tubing and cruising. We'll be dry-stacking at Skipper's Landing (Morningstar Marinas) right off of Perth. I only live about 3-4 minutes from Skipper's Landing so we'll probably be out on the lake A LOT (I was already going out at least once a week as part of the boat club during the warm months!).
Question to those of you who don't stay in the water year round. When you do you generally winterize your boat at the end of the season and when do you take it back out? Our boat club had pontoons in the water year round... but the speed boats only stayed in April 1st to October 1st (which would drive me crazy every time we had a nice warm October weekend!). Obviously it's going to be quite a while until I have to worry about this, but I was curious what others do.
I'm looking forward to meeting other members and I'll keep an eye out for raft ups and such.
