    I just bought a boat a couple weeks ago and was wondering if anyone else here enjoyed going out on the lake as much as I do?

    I love going out on my parents supercharged sea doo. 215hp 0-70mph in no time,it'll throw your ass off easily. Unfortunately times are hard and looks like they may have to get rid of it to keep my moms store open :(

    My parents have a boat that I use frequently.

    I wakeboard when I can, but I havent been out to much here lately due to lack of free time.

    One of my best friends parents own the house from Man Made Movie house on Lake Allatoona. He only has a 17foot stingray motorboat but we have been going up there alot recently to go tubing, wake boarding, fishing, and theres some awesome rope swings and cliffs there as well. Its a blast

    I used to have a nice Malibu ski boat decked out for wakeboarding.

    I was on the lake every day in the summer for 3 years until I blew out my ACL.



    I got my user name because I had to come up with something and my wakeboard was right next to me.

    Yes Sir! Got a house in dawsonville right past the N.GA outlets. I've got boats, but its a lot more enjoyable riding on a couple of my friends boats. Due to maintenance costs, and they fill them up. Pun intended, but seriously, north end of lanier let me know if ur going up. We ride early in the morn and booze in the noon.

    there is a navy lodge site there that is really nice. guy I work with knows the caretaker. I'll talk to him and see about setting up a kegger there (been thinking about it for a while). I can still rent it out since I'm in the reserves, but it's $$

    So we need to do put a large meet together and get some people to bring their boats. You guys sure you would rather have the meet on Allatoona instead of lanier?

    I can bring my boat... so thats one. Who else?

    YES Allatoona is better if you plan to ski/wakeboard which is what would draw me out. If getting boozed up and having fun Lanier...

    I'd join you if I wasn't already heading to Allatoona. Your boat would be a lot more fun to ride behind than the deck boat I'll be on.

    I've been dying to get out on the lake! I moved here from California three months ago, and haven't been out on the lake all summer! We have a nautique out in Cali that I might be bringing out to Georgia soon! I'm always up for a day or weekend at the lake! I come with plenty of gas money, and beer too! :) If anyone needs help wakeboarding, I used to be an instructor... ;) Hope we get something going soon!

    I'm about to head to the lake Allatoona now, Sailboat races at AYC. I'll be out there all day tomorrow too. I love wakesurfing when I get out on something with a motor. If we have a meet at Allatoona I can bring a powerboat but its really only good for tubing

    Just got back from being on the lake all weekend and I have to say the 24' deck boat actually had a good wake. It was hard as hell to hold a speed but fortunatley for me my wife is a very good driver.

    Even after six or seven years of not riding I was able to get around on a couple of tantrums and hit some nice double ups. A few more times out and it will be like I never stopped :)

    Niiice! Sounds like the wife has things under control! I haven't ridden in a year and it's killing me! I used to ride 4-5 days a week in the summer. Let me know when you plan to head out to the lake again! :)

    My folks' house is on Lanier and we have a killer dock w/ accessories; bar, refrigerator, TV, good swim area, and upper level for tricks. My dad has a 30yr old boat that is his baby, and we have a ten yr old jetski; both the boat and jetski have been refurbished to run. And both have been owned since new. We got rid of the runnabout before wake boarding and honestly having lived on the lake I have yet to wakeboard. I manage to get out on the jetski and let loose bout once a week. If a meet gets organized and it is on Lanier, I am down. If it is on Altoona, I could probably make it out but would be boatless.
