I done did a bachelor party on the IL river for a three day weekend. cruised 10ish miles to an isalnd, beached it, drank and grilled our asses off, swam, fished, another boat of older women showed up and enjoyed topless water sliding off our boat. 8 guys pooping in the same toilet was a disaster. had fun, the end.

houseboat came with a John boat we towed behind us. used it to go pick other people up at the state park a mile away and shuttle them to the boat. we didn't use any electricity except to run AC at night.

coffee
have all your meals planned out for dinner, sammiches for lunch is easy, bottled water, one giant cooler of just ice, booze in another. lots of paper towels are always necessary, utensils. it was a bunch of guys. we were pretty non fussy about stuff. if there was food to eat and beer to drink it was all good.

Last summer did the Bachlor Party thing on Lake Cumberland with 10-12 dudes. We rented the 750.

State Dock 750 | Lake Cumberland State Dock

We left state dock and beached it at a "party cove" probably 5 miles away. We had it for a few nights and it came down to $300 a bro including food. IDK exactly how the best man got this figure. I brought my waverunner down and another guy brought a 22ish powerboat we used to shuttle back and forth from the Party Cove, and also picked up fresh ice every morning. We ran the generator and AC all weekend not giving a fuck. It was a awesome time.

I would say Lake Cumberland, Table Rock Lake, or Lake of the Ozarks for a rental.

Spent 5 days on this 77'x16' on Lake Cumberland with 10 family members. 6 queen size beds and 2 bathrooms. Had a 6 person or so hot tub on top. Had a John boat with a 25hp outboard.Boat came with everything we needed except food and drink for which we bought at the local grocery store. Twin 4 cyl. engines and a 200 gallon fuel tank and only used a little over 100 gallons. Cruised a little during the day and drove it up on a new beach area every day. Had a blast and the 2 kids 12 and 10 loved it. uploadfromtaptalk1462298331404.jpg

there was no risk of running out of gas for the generator? that's what i was curious about.

partying with a fuck ton of other people isn't really even all too enticing for me... id rather be left the fuck alone.

fwiw im not necessarily asking where to go, just asking where others have gone and their experiences.

chances are ill wind up at cumberland or dale hollow.

No. 2 fairly big bathrooms and 2 of the biggest bedrooms you could walk around and close off from the others. Also the generator used fuel from the main 200 gallon tank.There were dry marinas too so if in that area bring in your supplies[emoji106]

Well we were in one spot the whole time and didnt cruise around. I would guess the boat has a huge gas tank so running a generator wouldnt use all of it.

Only reason we went to the "Party Cove" is because it was a bachlor party and everyone wanted todo that whole girls gone wild thing. Plenty of small really remote covers on Lake Cumberland. I was shocked on how large and remote the lake was. Really no houses or business anywhere.

Here is a video of a quick BRAAAP down one of the coves.
