Re: Slip Tips (Lake Hamilton, Arkansas)
I don't know about their slips, but I'll never buy a boat from them. I looked at a used rig there once and the sales person lied to me through her teeth. She wasn't aware that I knew the individual who sold it to the individual who traded it to them. But I digress. Lake Hamilton. It's a major party lake. Watch out for drunks, many of whom aren't really that intelligent when sober. I realize that's not a geographically unique issue, but I thought you'd want to know. Also, I've never slipped there but I've heard tales of things in boats growing legs, so I'd remove any valuables when leaving her alone for a while. I wouldn't worry about covering it unless the weather's going to be nasty. Arkansas summers are typically hot and dry with the occasional brief thunderboomer, although last year was uncharacteristically wet. Hope this helps and doesn't scare you out of going to Hamilton as that wasn't my intent. By the way, when are you coming up? We're less than an hour NE of Hot Springs and our usual lake is Catherine, which is literally only separated from Hamilton by a dam. We frequent Catherine because it's more of a family lake and we have a seven year old daughter.
