uggghhh. I felt crappy this morning also. That's a place I won't go back too.

Ya, my head still hurts a little.....but the margaritas were cheap and potent though!! The service sucked pretty bad though.

Just a pic of a slow jet boat. PE 2050 Pisston in the Wind

A couple of good buddys of mine run it. This was at SITC last year. Yeah I'm kinda nut swingin but its just to cool to not to.
That is a nice ride. Here is mine K555 LIBERTY

Cool, your a left turner..lol I never knew what a K boat was until yesterday. I would imagine its pretty damn competitive. Like dirt track racing on water. Is there a HP limit or is it just engine specs?

I don't know,but that is the funniest thing I have heard (Hahahahahah,falling out of my chair). Good one Stacy.

Lighten up man, jeesh. This is a BSing thread and just a little pre-season hotboating camaraderie building is all.

Just all in fun, no offense is meant to anyone. Chill bro!!

Lol. Ya, still draggin' her along. She wants to go to Ray Hubbard tomorrow for some reason. I've never been in the lake before and don't have a clue as to where to put in at or where to go. Told I'd rather go to lavon.....but that would upset her. When she's upset, Cliffy doesn't get happy at all!! Lol.

Realize that if it's windy the waves on Hubbard will be twice as bis as they are on Lavon.. BUT.. There is a lot of stuff on Ray Hubbard.

On the Rockwall side (East side) there is big shopping plaza wtih lots of eateries and boat slips for boat parking. That's also where the concerts are.

On the Garland side (West side) there is Bass Pro Shops and about five nice places to eat with boat parking.

South of Garland in Mesquite past the power plant there is the Red Barn place, of which I have never been to.

On the south east side near Hurst there are some KICK A$$ mansions that are pretty cool to go look at from the water side.

We've cruised the shores of Ray Hubbard in our jet with no problem. Just can't get up on plane out in the middle if it's windy, which is a blessing in disguise. I don't know about your boat, but I can loop the whole lake with a 1/4 tank off plane. Takes two tanks on plane.. LOL

Robertson Park at the end of Dalrock Rd has two ramps that are both free, but have no courtesy docks. The east side of the park is attached to the marina that does have boat parking for the resturaunt, so Vic could park the truck and walk over there and no one would have to get wet.

Oh yeah, another thing on the water, the resturaunt/bar at the Robertson Park marina. I think it's called Weekends, they have live music on the weekends.. LOL
