Sounds like a great time, but we will not be able to make it our son is getting married that weekend. Hopefully next year..

Were trying to get as much participation as possible this first year... a dozen AM Skiers on the lake would be a great start

We're gonna work on a boat tech & maintenance session (if I can talk one of the Tanis' to talk shop over a cold adult beverage - I'll buy

Maybe pull my boat out of the water to use as an example of what NOT to do to your boat/trailer and how to fix it!!! This site is great, but its nothing compared to one on one sessions with pros...

This will only get better & better each year...

That's the way I see it joel, this is just a dry run for the future. Don't get me wrong I think fun will be had by all in it will be a great time but this will just lead to bigger and better things in the future.

Mike, I agree totally... As with anything new there is a break-in period required

We've actually got a pretty good turnout for a 1st Annual anything since a lot of us have to travel quite a distance to get there - I'm completely stoked!

Dan, Thats great! Both the Tanis' in the same spot at the same time... this could be AM Skier history in the making!!!

If either of you (or anybody else for that matter) have any spare parts, stickers, decals, posters, hats, beer ( I mean pop ) holders, odds & ends, etc, that you'd like to donate to the cause I'm sure I can figure out a way to raffle them off or use as door prizes

I'm always working an angle

I'll be there on Friday as well. I'll try to get us some slips next to eachother (if possible) so we can show off the old girls

Glad you guys are gonna be able to make it... Looking forward to meeting the familys and doing some skiing

I hope my boat runs as well this Spring as it did last Fall

Looks like were leveling off at EIGHT! For those of you still undecided, or anyone that doesnt want to tow a boat 800 miles, dont worry!!! We'll have plenty of boats to ski, board & tube behind... If you just wanna pleasure boat I'm sure we can accomodate that as well

Come on down and enjoy the sun & have some fun

Wow! I just realized I'm starting to sound like Julie the Activity Director on the Love Boat... Where's Gopher when I need 'em

I'm going to try to make it guys! but I cant say for sure because of work. Its only about 2 hrs from me so I may just come over on sat.

Joel · « **Reply #22 on:** March 09, 2011, 06:08:38 AM »

Daveo, That'll work!!! And, that makes NINE!!!

For everyone who is bringing a boat (which should be most of us) - please let me know two things:

1. What type & length of boat - 19' Advance, 24' Eagle, 25' Commanche, etc... AND,
2. If you'd like to rent a covered slip - ya never know about Mother Nature...

The slips are $14.00 a night & include power (not a bad investment IF it rains) and you wont have to pull it out of the water every evening... I'll try to get them next to eachother on the same dock / pier if possible.

Thanks,

Joel a.k.a. Julie the Activities Director

Cabin reserved for new dates, awesome!

I have a slip reservation in place already, but if you have any luck getting them docked next to each other mine is reserved under Brandon Keehr.

A question was raised about dog kennels in the area. I live in Clarksville, which is southeast of the lake about an hour. The kennel we use is nice, but it does not offer pickup on Sundays, if you are staying til then shoot me a pm and I'll send you the link. The kennel is right off I-24, which if you're headed up from the south you'll pass right by it.

Im still on the fence at this time. Boat interior is completely out getting redone, made it 19 yrs with original(early April return). I am trying to decide if I should redo the floor and carpet while its out cause I have a few soft spots plus all of the decklid floatation foam under the frontend has come loose so I am trying to figure out what to do about that.
If all goes well, boat should be done way before reunion and I will be there.

Brandon, Sounds like a plan - I'll see if that'll work.

BJ, Dont worry - everything will work out just fine!!

Let me know if you decide to come up as you'll be # TEN!!!! ( I'm tryin' to keep track

Looks like a good showing of boat owners & enthusiasts, not to mention families & friends - should be a good time

So who will be so nice as to help us replace our rudder on our 82 skier at the reunion? BTW, I'm planning on purchasing the rudder from Ron or Dan.

Mike Harry · « **Reply #29 on:** March 22, 2011, 05:44:05 PM »

I will be more than willing to help! Never done it, but with Ron or Dan watching over our shoulders I think we'd be fine!
