Hi to the group!

I appreciate reading the insights and advice from the veterans. I have a 2001 Sea-Doo jetboat but just bought a new 2013 G3 Suncatcher V22C that has not been in the water yet. It has a Yamaha 9-HP on it and I hope it gives my family some nice times. I hope to get it in the water in the next few weeks after I get it licensed and the depth-finder/GPS installed. We just purchased a home on the lake as well so I may have some dock questions that I am sure you all may have insight on.

I love learning from experts!

Welcome to the club.
Ask away with your questions.
If we don't know the answer, we'll make something up.

Welcome aboard. I was surprised to see in your post that you had a 9hp on that big boat. Felt better when I saw 90hp in your signature.

Welcome from another Barkley boater. Good looking boat.

We keep ours at Buzzard Rock near Kuttawa. What part of Lake do you frequent?

I just got my boat as well and was on Lake Barkley on Sunday. Right now I am putting in on the Linton RD boat ramp as it is the closest to my house! Hope to see you out there!

We live near Eddy Bay. This is my first year with a pontoon. Should be a learning experience!

Hey SS we used do ride ATVs around Linton 10 or so years ago. Not sure could find my way back now. Do folks still ride there? Was on shore of Lake in part of area.
