It's supposed to be 122* out here today, 123* tomorrow and 121* on Sunday. :evil: :scared

I'm staying inside in front of the A/C all weekend.

How hot does it have to be for YOU to stay off the water?

We will go out when it is 110. On those days we spend most of our time floating around behind the boat. It's too hot to tube or do anything else.
By the end of the summer, our lake feels more like a hot tub than a lake.

120 is crazy hot. I would not go out either.

Wow, That's crazy hot!
I have to admit, I like it hot...I'm fine with high 90's to 100 :coffee ...my wife isn't though...120 may be a little too much even for me.

We don't get 120 around here-
That being said I have portable misting system I got from wal Mart that works great!

Yep, have to stay in the water when the temps get that hot. I think we were around 110 last summer. It was fine in the water, but cruising around on the toon was just hard to breathe when all you can suck in was really hot air -- almost hurt my lungs to breathe it in.

I don't go out in the sun past the low 90's. I wait until late in the afternoon to go out in such situations.

It's nice to be a son of the south--not too hot 9 months of the year. And we can choose to go out early a.m. or late p.m. otherwise.

120 degrees? No thank you. I'm surprised the water's not evaporated out of the lake.

There's no such temperature as "too hot to toon" in Colorado.

However, over 100 would certainly be a strong argument for an on-board mister.

where is a good place to get an onboard mister. I live in Fl but since I drive a semi-truck with a very good A/C, so anything over 95 or so and I'm cooking. not on a grill but my body feels like its cooking

That because we live in a sauna most of the summer with rain showers three times a day

This time of year I go out in the late evening and night time.

That what I like about a two toon boat, if it's to hot just float under the pontoon in the shade, I was out with the kids swimming, they were jumping off the deck and climbing back on, I was on a float laying under the toon in the cool

It was 107 when we were on Lake Havasu a month ago, that's too hot, won't do it again.
