Just give the big pond a try. Best thing to do would be to go out there with someone that knows where everything is, like all the harbors, inlets, and places to stop and eat or drink.
I really think you'll see a whole new meaning to having room to do what you want. If you want, get ahold of Jamie, Waylen, or myself, and we'll show you what it's like in Chi-Town on the water, and give you a first hand tour.
Don't give up just yet.

Wow.
Like everyone else said, give the big lake a try before you move that thing.
If you're really serious about that, good luck with the sale... I just hope you got a good deal on it when you bought it in light of this boat market!

I would totally give MI a chance but she wants nothing to do with the boat anymore. I asked her if we should keep the boat @ BK so we can still use it while its for sale. "Nope, I dont want to be on the water anymore" Her words. It crushed me when all this $hit happened this past weekend. I love being on the water.
As for the big lake. My parents have a large boat and well I can take that anytime Id like. BUT She just hates boating period now. Last year was great. Now shes saying "all these @sshole come on our boat, get hammered and make you drive them around, what fun is this" Also Just how rude people were on the water to use this year so far is total BS. Yea Im young with an expensive boat. Everyone this weekend was asking how my parents would let me take out their boat on the 4th. I wanted to salp so many of these jack@ss b@stards..
Im not saying Im giving up boating but right now I just do not know what to do...
And Jamie A lambo seems more fun right now.
This weekend I have a party in memory of my brother
Next weekend I have my cosuins Bday party Saturday, Ill see if I can go boating Sunday
The week of Aug 2nd is my second Bachelor party here. Im sure I wont make it out Sunday.
The weekend of Aug 9th is my wedding
Aug 14th we leave for our honeymoon and will be gone for 36 days. When we come back boating season will be over.

Sorry you had such a bad experience on the Chain,I have been boating on the chain since 1982,and I agree with you some times it does get crazy out there, but for the most part its a good place to boat, lake Michigan is nice but has its monent also.
after reading your above post, sound like boating might not fit your lifestyle,
and as for your guest getting hammered and disrespecting you and your boat,thats simple dont bring them out on your boat.We used to bring friends out and after a while we desided to just go out by ourselves.
Good Luck

Maybe giving her some time to cool down and then making your decision is a good idea...

Drag her to Northpoint!

Sounds like the "WIFE" (and I can say that because I am one of those) needs a little pep talk. Not to mention a new group of boating chicks to hang around with.
Come out to Northpoint and get a feel for the great people, diverse boats and boating that does not require you to dodge pontoons with 20 drunks aboard.
Drag her there if you have to. She may kick and sream the whole way but once she is there, she'll change her mind.
I guaruentee it.
