My buddy and I decided to head to Lake Mead for the weekend. I haven’t been here in 15 years...

Got here last night.

Saw you guys leaving yesterday on the 14. Me and Steve waved but you were looking at something in your lap when I passed you. You probably dropped a French fry[emoji23]

Hallet beach? The guy with the skater said he was taking delivery of a poontoon with twins haven’t seen him in a while. Me and him had a convo about why there isn’t more big power boats that boat mead. Being that it’s so big they could really stretch there legs without much issue. He said idk but I don’t mind them not coming

thats why I started the "HEY-LAM" deal... no one is gonna spend 2 or 3 hundred K and go where only a couple people see them, they have to go to the channel flat billed and not be able to see over the bow....

Drive through smog place...

We are meeting up with a couple HIH people that we met last weekend today.

The wife wants to look at houses tomorrow or Tuesday. I never thought I’d hear her say that.

Right on! I didn’t catch his name but we talked for a few minutes. Everyone was really nice.

Turns my mother in law is good friends with the owner of the Outerimiits(random).

The Hartiess. They are annual HIH attendees!

I haven’t been here in 15 years. I could see having a 30’ or bigger out here. I love that there is enough room for everyone on the water.

A few wake surfers... their wakes cause some big rollers and I had to get off plane to get through them. They were far off from anyone around them which I thought was cool. Their wake was still an issue, at the same time it was nice that they weren’t in a confined area that causes problems for boat traffic like In havasu or Parker. It’s a nuisance but they deserve the right to enjoy the lake too.

Love Lake Mead. Have some good friends that moved up here and we try to visit a few times per year. We ran to Hallet Beach yesterday as well. Looks like you guys were in the next cove up from us. We were in a 36' Concept.

The 39 MTI was getting after it. Had a great view of daylight in the tunnel when he passed us. The Skater sounded great cruising by too.

I think hes talking about this one. I don’t think it’s the OG deck. I didn’t look at it that close.

That’s Nick’s old boat and not an OG deck. A guy bought it along with the hoist and the slip and I don’t think it’s been out since. Really a shame!

I think I’m down for Temple Bar on Saturday. Haven’t launched from there in ages. Usually do South Cove because I combine business with pleasure.

It’s been 20 years since I have been on that lake. It sure looks a lot different. The boats, the slips, the lifts. Looks like Hallett heaven.

This is a Gen 2 original vented bottom and deck. LakeMeadHomo's parents boat is a Gen 2 with the Peter's bottom.

The decks are slightly different. Just found this out.

If I remember right I think 140-150k. It was around 200k in 2016, and Jerry said they wanted to blow it out.

Could be a nice boat. Pull the imron and have a nice simple graphic painted.

Damn. Itching for an OG 40 after seeing all these pictures. Hell, I’d take one like Nicks with my bottom design too but OG would be best. What did you say happened to that teal one that had 900s in Temecula?
