Todd - I'll be out Sat, Meat Head said he will be out too. I think we should run to dockers after noon, than hit hanky later like last week. But run back with you instead of ten miles ahead of you. Jay was going to take some running picks.

I saw boat Baronmarine and the Purple Haze Saber, as well as the "Color me Gone" Skater last weekend out of Grand Haven. Had a great time on my first visit...loved that ramp vs South Haven. We ran up to Muskegon Sat and down to Port Sheldon Sun just sightseeing...man Michigan is beautiful.

We'll be up in Muskegon on July 4th, staying at Hartshorn Marina thru July 6. Will be seeing the Wailers at the Fest, that should be cool.

Anybody know what ramp I should use (and leave the rig)...I believe Hartshorn has one...gotta call and see.

Concert is on Wednesday night the 4th. I believe there's shows every night...looks like you can anchor out and hear them, so that's probably what we'll be doing on Thursday if you are out.

Default 185 powerplay.

Hey anybody have one of those power engine hatch lifts, the motorized ram that opens the sundeck laying around. The one on my 86' Powerplay 185 XLT took a dump on me. Also looking for a new dash or suggestions for replacing the original. Live in Zeeland.
Thanks guys.

We'll be stopping by the area (from Maryland) from August 4th through 12th. The first few days we'll be down near South Haven/New Buffalo, working our way north for a family reunion that starts on the evening of the 9th near Grand Haven. Look for a silver 38 Formula, "Me, Too!".

To bad your not starting in grand haven first. The coast guard festival ends on aug. 5th. Tons of boats around and the streets downtown on the water are closed from july 27th through aug. 5th with a carnival.

Sat. the 4th is the best day of the festival. About 500+ boats tie in hanky pank cove for a party. Then in the evening everyone heads out to the channel for round two. At around 8:30pm the coast guard does a simulated rescue with the chopper and follows it up with a 1 hr fireworks display.

Although if your not into heavy boat traffic stay away, the channel gets very congested on sat., especially after the fireworks.
