New Member From Illinois

Hello,
My I'm Anthony! Just bought a new to me 2011 sx240 about a week and a half ago. Planned on cruising Pool 26 on the mighty Mississippi this year, but looks like it will be a year of flooding. Planning on taking this out on as many lakes as I can this year!

By the way @PJ73 , our governors always serve two terms. The first one they are elected to.

Not sure what that meant, but ok.

 

[buckbuck]

The second term they are sentenced to.

 

[PJ73]

Ah. I see that. 4 of your last 7 served prison sentences

Congratulations on the boat. I boat pool 26 with several other friends who also have Yamaha boats. We tend to hit 2 branch sandbar or for watersports we will run up to pier Marquette on the Illinois. There's quite a few Yamahas in pool 26. We try to go to mels dockside restaurant in Hardin on the Illinois a couple times a year. It's a nice cruise.
@TinyTony where do you launch?

 

[TinyTony]

I have put in at Sherwood harbor with the jon boat, but it would be way to shallow for the yamaha. I planned on putting in at hideaway harbor on the Missouri side. Grafton or at Peir Marquette if I stay on the IL side. Normally frequent 521 quite often.
