Where will you be keeping the new boat ??? I'll have to look you up on the next Cincy trip. Pier 99 where I am at is a nice 60 to 70 mile run with no locks to deal with and we always have nice deep water transient slips available, many times under roof too. A lot of people plan to come down from Cincy or up from louisville to visit during the " HOT " months on weekends. mile 530 back in Craigs Creek, and just one mile above markland lock and dam.
I am still sitting on my race car as well but have boated most of the years too. I have just parked the car and been using the boat every weekend this summer and I will not be going back to racing. The boat provides more and less strenuous entertainment at a lot lower cost. No looking back.
