I didn't mention Americas best, but lets just say we were there last year. Lock your stuff in your room, don't put a cover on your boat either. Covers were cut to get to stuff. I did like the place and it's really setup well for boaters and small clubs that like to stay together. We just had problem...

Prop Pitch Question at Altitude
I was up at Bullards Bar this weekend and I thought there was something wrong with my motor. I didn't think we were at that high of altitude but I rarely have my boat much above 1000' see level. After talking with most everyone else they recognized the power loss as well. I have a 1997 - 18'.6"...
