Is there a chance in hell he could mount a ski eye to the top of the bulkhead without having the thing ripped to shreads or look stupid?? Jason really appreciates and info that can be found on retrofiitng the old 57' Thanks Much, Dave, I'm not too keen on the bulkhead idea because it wasn't designed for it and it would see most of the load. There is a seat pad on top of the dog house that could be removed for skiing. The ring and finger could then be put through a hole in the dog house into a framework fastened to the engine and stringers. With the seat pad back on, the boat would be back to original! The frame would take some engineering and the work of a welder but that's the route I wold look at. By the way, I don't think the windshield is original because in 57 the Sportsman flat decks started using the Taylor made curved plexi. Someone a long the line may have done some "retro" work on it. I need to ask Steve!!

Dave (and Jason), I just got a email from Steve and the Chris is a 56 so the flat glass windshield is the original correct one. Just thought I'd let you know!

Why does Mary have to discuss anything with the mayor?? Is the campground owned by the town??

If we can procure the place for a discount that would be great, that is if enough people come back for GL-08'....

Just my 2 cents..

Crap, sorry Doc, I was thinking of the owner of the Goose Blind when I typed the name... Right on about the ownership... Personally, I would be holding my breathe on any discounts, but it's worth a try...

Other than that, usually she rebooks everything after the first of the year.. It's not usually a problem if you call early..

Also, there are some really nice one and two bedroom homes for rent in town or on the water.. Many of them rent by the week, but they are all negotiable.. Maybe some people would like to take advantage of these great finds... or pool up and share... Like the
Tuk-me-inn across from the park.. That thing was empty our weekend and all week... Great place for a meet n greet also..

Just a thought..

Sound great... Let's see what she can come up with.... The Fri gathering down at the base of the ramp would offer a great alternative spot, if they are willing to let us...

Thanks for your work on this Doc !!!

Marshall Morgan FINALLY sent me his GL photo collection and ask that I post this link to share them with everyone. He's got a bunch of great shots, including shots of shots being downed, and our caravan with sites along the way up and back.

EDIT: There are several photos taken with the dogs and kids by the water at Quinner's neighborhood beach area outside Chicago. Neat place.

Boat Dr, Did you ever post the five hundred or so pics you and the B'Nurse snapped?

Great slideshow Reid/ Marshall. I'm sure the drive was tough but that caravan looked awesome, what a site.

No problem Alan... Right now we'll be up once more before Labor day, and Labor Day weekend of course....
