not us, we have two boats sitting in our driveway. We thought the ski boat was going in on Saturday but something to do with the transmission and a hose froze over the winter, so among the long list of spring projects Ian now has something else to fix. The big boat had to be picked up from it's winter home home in Bad Axe on Sunday, so now I have to park behind the boats in the driveway, good thing we live in Watertucky, instead of complaining the neighbors out here think it's cool
You and Ian are lucky! My friend can't keep his Malibu in the driveway for more than a couple days before the neighbors call the ordinance guys on him.
My neighborhood is like yours....everyone would think it was cool if I had the Sunny in the driveway....just no way to squeeze it in. lolWe got the boat splashed last weekend.....worked out well. For my birthday I got to take it for the first ride!
Let me know when you two get the big boat ready for Lake Erie....looking forward to meeting you!

I'm in at Hammond. Probably the first go-fast out there for the year. Took a short blast on Friday...72 mph with three guys and STUFFED full of fuel...water was flat as could be. Now how about some WARM WEATHER???!!! I biked to work today and the temp was 42! I hate seeing my breath in late May!

We've been in St. Joe a couple of times now... still chilly but need to satisfy the need for speed...lol. Blew an alternator Friday night coming back from south haven but other than that we ran great!

Got in in the local lakes on Friday - since the boat is new to me, and bigger than anything else I have ever had, it was a real thrill.
Got to work on my skills, though...launching was OK. Docking and retrieving need a little work But practice makes perfect. The wife and I brought her home tonight abd put her back in the driveway. Got to go to Chicago this weekend, so I won't be back on the water for two weeks...
