When is everyone putting their boats in the water?

[PANDA]

I keep seeing boats on the river and I am getting that itch to be on the water again I was thinking about putting at least the pontoon boat in the river this weekend if it is decently warm out. Big boat is scheduled to be splashed on April 29th. Although Chicago Harbors don't open till May 1st. Powerquest will go in after pontoon boat. Waverunners, IDK its still kinda cold out for that shit.

When is everyone else putting their boats in the water?

as soon as i buy it, figure out where to keep it and figure out how soon it can be in the water.

Hopefully by the end of the month.

I'm not putting the shore stations in until the water warms up or I find someone willing to do it on the cheap..lol

Picked up my boat last Saturday in that lovely snow storm, had to get boat so owner could clear out Bldg, I have it in for some skeg repairs (damn chain boating) and will bring home to buff and wax before putting in the water. Hoping for last wknd of April or first wknd of May.

Toon and Waverunner got wet a few weeks ago on the river. I forgot to post pictures. Alot of boat traffic out for so early in the season. People are getting excited.

Maybe next week for the toon, I think I'm going to put a new impeller in it this year just for safety sake

Quick appointment at the local Marina May 5th for some stuff then goes in the water.

Early to mid June for me. I'll probably throw it up for sale as soon as I can.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

maybe next week? I need to get my chain sticker and want to wash out the bilge. need to dump that oily mess on the ground not into the lake

 

[Outlaw]

Baja is a few weeks out. Luckily I did impellers and water pumps in the fall so there's no maintenance needed.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

I can't wait to lose another pair of Kevin's Oakley's into the water

 

[PANDA]

Everything is in the water. Time to relax and enjoy it all? probably not

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

keep the winter gear out for the powerquest and a wet suit for the wave runner. I remember last year May and June being a shit show.

 

[MrMezger996]

[Yaj Yak]

[MrMezger996]

i was out saturday too. where were you?

I was up north, bluff and Marie. It was pretty cold when we were out. Of course once i get boat back on the lift and last snap on cover the sun breaks through and wind dies down.....
