snagged in outlet 3 Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 I’ve had the same place in Clevenger Cove for close to 20 years. If don’t get in early for the weekend you won’t get your boat in the boat lot. Even 5 years ago it would only be half full. Doesn’t help when they stayed hitched to the trailer either. The proliferation of wake boats is unbelievable in the past 5 years.

Expand It seems like those with disposable income are always looking for a new way to dispose of it. There are so many things wrong with current (wake) boat designs, beginning with their tall towers, that this fad will likely fade. &, speaking of Clevenger Cove, more than 20 years ago, before we bought our place on Table Rock, we used to stay at Red Bud Cove B&B, across the cove, before Paradise Point condos were there. We almost bought the existing house that sits in the middle of the Paradise Point development. &, speaking of the evolution of boats, our dock is an old resort dock, and has 16-foot slips. The Corps records don't go back far enough to see when it was placed on the lake, but I'm guessing 40 years ago. 20 years ago slips were 20' or 24'. Now, new docks have 30' slips mostly. snagged in outlet 3 1

Expand You ain't a woofin'! I was paid 800 to upgrade a stereo system in a wake boat awhile back, the total bill was just shy of 4k.....and if you could have heard how awesome the factory system sounded before that project began you'd have been truly concerned about your ears. To me it sounded better BEFORE the "upgrade"...... but they are sure happy with it, so WTF ever! 🤔

We probably don't need one because we can hear all the wake boat's systems. 😁 fishinwrench 1
fishinwrench Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 This is probably a crazy place to share this, but the mention of wakeboarding brought it to mind.....so here goes 😊 My oldest daughter and one of her college professors are plugged into the virtual reality network and my daughter insisted that I "experience this", so I did. A few weeks ago I successfully helped fly a rocket to the moon to collect samples and even took full control when my partner (who was instructing me) passed out for 15-20 minutes. I also did some very extreme wakeboarding behind a boat full of drunken pirates and was stranded afloat in the middle of the ocean while sharks circled underneath me until they realized I had crashed and came back for me. Did some other very cool stuff as well, and afterwards I was sitting there, heart pounding and nearly out of breath, discussing how freakin' REAL it all was 😳 Seriously if you've never done this before it is worth ALOT to do it. So anyway I'm sitting there, mind already blown, and her professor says "Not to suggest anything, but JFYI there is porn 😁 Would you like an hour alone with Jennifer Lopez ? Ginger or Mary Ann ?" I looked at my wife, who was all 🤪 and figured I'd best pass on that. 😭 slothman and Daryk Campbell Sr 2
TableRockBoater Posted October 15, 2019 Author Posted October 15, 2019 Funny, when I was on Virtual Reality, a tournament bass boat ignored the no-wake buoy and put a big wake our dock. It seemed so real. 😁
