It all depends on the weather. If it's warm enough, we'll be out there!
Let us know if you're going to be in our area. My son and his friends are crazy enough to board in March, and I always like going out on the boat. Just won't get in the water till it warms up a bit

i'm near stl and plan on going out over spring break, 2nd week of march, as long as the weather cooperates

Ok Gordon, I posted a pic in the boat section. Gotta get it started somehow! Wink

I'm in Lee's Summit/KC, and this snow is KILLING me. Plus, I'm going down to the Ozarks to demo my hopefully soon-to-be new boat. THAT is going to kill me if I close the deal and then have to wait 2 months to board. Anyone know where I can get a wetsuit for a decent price in KC? Or should I just look online instead?

I heard you, bro. Is it summer yet? What lake do you go to?

pet575, we bought our boat at the boat show in SL last February. They brought it to us in April, but we were unable to get it in the water till Mothers Day. We had tons of rain and too much junk in the water, in other words, we were "scared" to put it in till then! Killer waiting all that time.

I have gone to Milford or tuttle creek

hey guys, I am going to be in Republic for a week either in late april or early may... anyone riding in that area?

We may be wakeboarding in March, but if so, it'll be in MS or FL, as that's where we're going for spring break. MO has been staying WAY TOO COLD for my liking! Once it warms up, we'll be out and about on odd weekends on the Mississippi River near Elseberry, Mark Twain Lake, or maybe the Merrimac near Fenton. We'd also like to head down to the Branson area, too, and naturally Lake of the Ozarks. Ahh, summer...

Ok everyone, air temps have been in the 70's for a couple of weeks, that water must be warming up!
We'll be putting our boat in the water in a couple of weeks. Where are all the Missouri people? I know you are out there!
We need riders down at Bull Shoals. If you've never been here, you need to check it out.
Very Happy

Sweet. Where do you boat? BS, Longview, somewhere else?

kswakeboarder · Outlaw Joined: 13 Jan 2003 Posts: 184 City: KC metro

I live in South Lee's Summit in Raintree. and that is where i wakeboard. not the worlds best boat... but gets the job done.

Lauri H · Outlaw Joined: 04 Aug 2004 Posts: 226 City: Theodosia

40 degrees right now, supposed to have a hard freeze tonight. Guess the boat stays in the garage for another week. What happened to spring? Evil or Very Mad

OK, so my worst nightmare has come true... I ordered my boat and put my money down the second weekend of March. Sales guy called me last week to tell me it will be ready to go the 1st weekend in May. I'm officially dying now, and it is still 3 weeks away. Puppy Eyes

what are you getting? where are you going to ride? if you looking for riders hit me up!

pet575 · Posted: Apr 13, 2007 8:05 am Post subject:

I bought an I/O, a 22' Four Winns with a 350 MPI Mag (300HP). I needed the versatility of a non-wakeboard boat because I ride at Pomme de Terre-which can get rough on windy/busy weekends and my wife and 18 month-old son won't do well with the beating we would take in a wakeboard boat. Regardless, it has a tower and I am having the dealer install PerfectPass. It will have a Bravo 3 (w/ dual counter-rotating prop), so it should pull nicely even at WB speeds and everyone has told me that the hull on that boat will throw a nice wake. I'll add ballast in the ski locker as necessary.

Unfortunately, I don't have a 3 car garage so I'll be keeping it down there and will probalbly never get to use it here in town. If you ever make your way to Pomme, though, give me a shout. That goes for any of you other MO riders out there, too. Lauri, I've been threatening to come to Table Rock for a couple years and I might bring the new rig down there in June or July.

you can hit me up... i have an I/O as well... but working on getting something better. but i do have a 3 car garage and i live in RainTree area. (south lee's summit and 330 ac privet lake)

Ya, I live in LS also. I know Raintree, but I didn't know you could board on it. For some reason, I thought there was a HP limit on that lake. Guess not, so that is good.

Ever go to the cable park in KS? Thinking about going out there in the next month.

Got the boat in the water yesterday. What a beautiful afternoon, air temp 80, water 63.
Let the season begin!

Lauri, what lake is that?

Lauri H · Outlaw Joined: 04 Aug 2004 Posts: 226 City: Theodosia

Bull Shoals, on the Missouri side. Where do you ride?
Come on down!

I will be in town on business and have Wed and Thursday night free. Possibly looking for a pull in the area. thanks!

gmarkham1 · Addict Joined: 10 Sep 2003 Posts: 505 City: janesville

I will be in Republic MO from may 13-18th(probally late on the 13th). Anyone nearby that I can catch pulls from in the evening?

Lauri...
I will be giving you a call to make it down there one night... I just have to wait to see what the schedule looks like once I get down there!

Gordon,
Just let us know when, we'll be ready!
Carcrz, awww, that's too bad that you have to go to Table Rock, j/k. It's a nice lake, just way too busy for my liking.

Got a NEW ride! This week i sold my I/O and now have a Correct Craft '86 2001!

I love tablerock, family goes down there every august. Mostly ride down by kings lake.

carcrz · Newbie Joined: 27 Mar 2007 Posts: 32

Lauri, we'll probably go somewhere nearby early in the AM on the actual holiday weekend, that way we miss a lot of the lake traffic. We are actually taking our weekend vacation the next week though out at Table Rock.
