On the positive side, the sunsets over a lake are very beautiful.

Thanks for posting the depth of Lake Weir. Appreciate it.

Oh yes, I'm aware of the alligators. Have seen many beautiful lake properties all over Florida and always "think" what lurks beneath?

If we did bring the boat down, it is on a trailer and towable, he could just store it near TV and take it to the ocean or rivers........inland waterway.
Or sell it up here and join the Deep Sea Fishing Club.

However, the grandkids do love the boat. Most recently they tried out a smaller lake in Vermont......Lake Bomoseen; the kids aren't fussy at all.
A shorter drive than hauling it up to Lake Champlain.
