I took this picture on a lake in North Carolina while we were up there.
This is a 75, it is not that heavy.

That ain't right. Looks like four people, spread out, and at least two of them lightweight kids.

I think you are all wrong, he bought that pontoon with the highly undesirable 'lowrider' option.

Carl That is Lake Nantahana (between Andrews and Franklin). We rented a house up there on the side of a mountain and hiked for a week in the mountains.
I had to get in shape in case Ed showed up

Greg F:
Everybody up here goes to Florida on vacation.
I always wondered where people in Florida go on vacation. I guess it's North GA, Western NC and East Tennessee to the mountains.
We also hang out in those mountains in a membership RV park. I sometimes take my Waverunner with me to run on Lake Burton and Lake Chatuge @ Hiawassee, GA.
