@Bruce did you Hijack my poll?

This should never be said on the board again. lol​

Doing a little more promotion for Lake Ouachita, I have this old thread with pictures and descriptions https://jetboaters.net/threads/lake-ouachita-royal-ar.9/ and this one for Lake Hamilton https://jetboaters.net/threads/lake-hamilton-hot-springs-ar.52/ .

Here are some 2016 pictures from Ouachita. Please click on them for full sized views.

@Bruce did you Hijack my poll?

I was lazy and copied the post with pictures to this thread instead of reposting it. The forum software must have demonstrated bias by placing my copied post before your first post.

Do you know why the percentages do not add up to 100? Seems like we have some political math going on?

maybe someone or someones voted for both?

That is it. I did not realize voting for both was an option.

Yeah that might be a little far for us.. 15 hour drive... not sure the wife is ready for that level of adventure just yet..

I'm still.working on getting her to commit to Shelbyville next year

Texoma is probably 3 hours closer to me, but I'd be more into Ouachita. I spent my childhood lake days on DeGray Lake that Bruce mentioned, and have spent some days at Ouachita as well, beautiful water, beautiful area, and lots to do around there.

Might need an UberXL! Can you imagine the look on the guys face?

I hear @Bruce's driveway doubles as a helipad.

I call dibs on being the official qnd only jetboaters.net employee traveling and promoting the forum... a company vehicle ... a new 2017 e series and a nice handsome salary should do it.. how about it @Bruce. @Julian ... I think it is a great idea!!

Great idea! You are hired!

We have a slightly unusual compensation "package". Ok.....it's not so much a "package" as it is more of a "bag".....and empty paper bag.

Now for a true world record attempt (unsure what the record is) wouldn't it make more sense for it to be located in Tennessee or Virginia maybe even north west GA somewhere? To put it with in a 6-8 hour drive of a bulk of the members. I don't know what the actual number of members and locations are but it seems a good bulk would be with in 6-8 hours of those places most of the east coast is 12+ hours from Arkansas.

I have been working on my crew about this one as well and it's closer then the other two mentioned lakes but the flack I keep getting is my crew say they would just rather do a second Bahamas trip next year as the drive is closer and cost looks similar for lodging as the sands.

Shelbyville lodging is much less expensive than Bimini.

Shelbyville lodging is much less expensive than Bimini.

The resort everyone stays at appeared to be between 200-380 a night in the cabins I was looking at for the weekend rate which seemed about the same to me. There maybe cheaper places or cabins but the ones I saw didn't appear to anywhere as nice as the sands. i would have to compare those it staying at big game or blue water both of which run around 100-150 if I remember correctly.

@robert843 I stayed in the most expensive cabin at Lithia this year at 240 a night and last year in a cabin that was about half that, and still very nice. Also big difference from Bimini, I spent less than 100 bucks on boat gas, for six days on the water!

 

[bronze_10]

You'll need an assistant!!

I kinda hopped my assistant would be a hot boat babe.......... how do you look in a two piece?

The main lodge said 340 a night on the web site that was what I was looking at. I think we are coming up anyways as it sounds like a blast. I can't argue the gas at all I will spend more then that just on the return trip from Bimini. One Bahamas trip a year is enough for me unless I lived in Florida I would probably go any weekend the condition were flat.

@robert843 you might be in trouble if you book the main lodge as that's @OperationROL @007 and @JCampbell home away from home!

hmmm well it's seems the rate may have gone up to $499 a night for me to sublet it lol.
