No, No, No!! That thing is going right out to Sportsman's on consignment again at a very reduced price. I don't what to deal with it or store it for another winter! Plus, I didn't renew the insurance on it in 07!

Besides, I think a ride in your Crestliner with the 88 Hp would be even more exciting!

Eric, that'd be cool! I havent gotten into the original diz yet. Being its a 68 vintage Pacer conversion, Im guessing it might need some attention.

I tried to email you thru your homepage, but it wouldnt work. I you want, drop a note to me at      kten72@yahoo.com .

Thanks again!

I'd like to see what this boat lift looks like. We have a hand operated lock and bridge that is on the river between Sebago and Long Lakes.





The quotes came with the pics. The lock can be a PIA.

It's a Gantry type crane on rails with a cradle for picking a variety of boat types and rolling across the road from the upper to the lower chain.

burnt rollways hoist

I'd guess the lift is about 15'from the lower Eagle River side to Three Lakes.

What do they charge for that? And how backed up do they get? I think the locks was $7.00 round trip last year. It can hold about a dozen boats.

Bruce,
It's been years since I've been over the dam but I will go there ether by car or boat a couple times each summer just to check it out. I've never seen more that one boat waiting and would have to say that's on a busy holiday weekend. The last I heard the lift charge is $3.00 for a round trip. The lift from one side to the other takes about 10 minutes at the most.

On my calendar that looks like Memorial day weekend. If you get over to the Three Lake side of the chain, be sure to let one of us know. I'm just across the lake from Charlie and around the bend and through the channel from Pete.

Steve,
I just took a look at the calender and I'll probably drive up on the 22nd and then drive home on the 26th.

I will probably be up there the same as Pete, unless work stays as slow as it is now, in which case I will stay longer.

Eagle River/Three Lakes map

Steve,
If you open up this link, you'll see the Eagle River area/chain-lakes. Panning south and east will get you to the Three Lakes area/chain-lakes.
One of Rand McNallys errors has always been the mislabeling of Laural lake and not labeling Medicine lake. Medicine lake is actually labled as Laurel and Laurel is actually the lake to the southeast of the island.

I'm on Medicine lake in the south bay next to Hwy. 32 (I also have lake frontage on Spirit lake too) The Tique would probably be in the lift (Medicine lake).

Charlie is on the north shore of Laurel and you certainly can't miss a big white boathouse.

Mark is across the lake in a bay to the southeast of Charlie. You would be able to spot his place by a MC in a lift (yes, a MC!!!) as well as a Whaler in the lift next to it.

Watercraft Sales (fuel) is in the south bay of Island lake.

A day trip over the dam to explore the chain fully would be fun. Try to plan on it. Oh, I found the current fee on the lift. $5.00 each way - I told you it's been years since I've been over it!!! When you get closer to the trip, I'll get you phone numbers and address's.

Our schedule will be about the same....up on Friday night head back late on Monday. Summer won't start this year 'till almost the middle of June. After that, we'll be around and (with a bit of luck) skiing every day 'till the end of August.

In that case, do you have room for a few more??

Mark,

That is an awesome boat house, and knowing how tough the Wisco DNR is, quite an accomplishment. Can't wait for the invite for the entire CCFan Contingent to stay there, How many Chain Falls do you have for sleeping accomodations?

Chris,
There are 6 chain-falls, tho I;m not quite sure how many are required for a good nites sleep... if thats what your after. Maybe a griphoist of come-along would be more to your liking.

The boathouse is over on Chuck's side of the lake....it was nice of him to extend an invitation per your request!

Pete,

Something tells me that Chris has that location hardwired in the internal GPS. Didn't he say that he bought his boat from Watercraft?

Yes and when he was picking up his boat is when I think his GPS took him out to Weasels!!

I think county zoning just grandfathered them in for an expansion project. Chris will need to pay a visit to check out the upgrades.
Last time I was in there, it was still the Modernaire....thats been a while.

Mark,
How is it that you have avoided that place for all these years?
The Mod, now theres a name you don't hear much any more.
I forget, do you put your boats in on Memorial day weekend or do you get up earlier?

I'll try to get the dock/lifts/boats in before Memorial Day weekend but will have to see how well that plan works out. Looks like we'll be heading up the weekend of March 21. I'll walk over to your side of the lake for a first hand look at the new home for the boathouse....looks good in the photos.

I hope to pull the small Whaler home then, ski season should start here in a couple of weeks and that works out well for the early season conditioning and is easy to trailer.

Mark,
I went back to work last Tuesday, but I will have to get over to check on the roofers progress, so maybe I'll see you on the 21st. If you don't see me could you please snap a few photos of the job? Did you hear about Jeff Bonacks passing, I still can't believe it.

Chris,
Weasels just won a zoning case involving his right to expand the place, so I imagine that will happen soon. Do you still get up to the Three Lakes area?

Have not been up that way in a few years, it sure is a beautiful part of Wisco.
