Didn't think this would be so hard.

Clibka,
I'll second the Steamboat trip; we'll be there Sun 2/24 until Fri 3/1; '13 200V goes into production Mar 7th; will be headin' down to the houseboat (Dale Hollow, TN) with new 200V in early April.

Oasis, we will just miss each other. I'm headed back home on the 24th. I'm thinking we picked a good time to be in the boat ...



I've been to Cumberland, it was amazing. Would love to check out hallow. Might have to make the trip this year!

I'm excited to check that out. This season will be on Lake Springfield Not ideal, but I love to travel. Ozarks, Lauderdale (Green) in wisconsin, and Geist back home in Fishers are all trips that are planned. Suggestions are welcome!!!

Clibka, been meaning to hit you up for a few weeks. We camp and boat at Clinton usually twice a month, sublime green 200 sport so we're not too hard to spot. We are always looking for a 3rd when we're down there. Also, If you like traveling you need to get up to Green lake this summer July 19-21 for the CCfan reunion.

We were last at Steamboat about 5 years ago. Epic powder!! Best trip ever and we have been to some pretty cool places. Have fun boys!!!

May have to pick your brains regarding a houseboat trip. Have never done it but would love to tow the boat down there for a week. Sounds like a lot of fun for a big group.

Depends on what you are looking for, guessing you are southwest of Chicago?? Of those you mentioned, Ozarks is a blast, you can find good water and great party's (party cove is insane), main channels do get really rough though. Lauderdale, CC dealer there is great, the lake, kind of a zoo. Green is beautiful and huge, as Alan mentioned the CCF get together in July is a blast, we will be there for sure. Green tends to be windy so finding decent water can be a challenge other then early AM and usually on the far west end.

Up near Lauderdale is Twin Lakes, same or worse conditions then Lauderdale but come up on a Saturday and you can catch the Aquanut's ski show. The Fox Lake chain would compare to the Ozarks on the party side, for decent water, down on the river is better then the lakes usually, after 10am any skiing is pretty much out except maybe on the river, carefully.

I am actually about 1.5 hours north of St. Louis, I'm in southern IL. Thanks for the awesome run down. I am excited about the trips coming up. Would love to meet up with some members if we can make it happen. I've also heard great things about Lake Shelbyville?

Thought I would share my edit from the recent steamboat trip . . .

We were is steamboat in February as well! Maybe there should be a Nautique gathering there. For the Steamboaters, we spent alot of time on Morningside, can't keep the kids out of the trees. Best happy hour is at Tugboat. Here in NC getting the itch big time to get the boat out now.
