So, usually my wife and I store our boat at Lake Cumberland for the summer and then tow back before winter and store at home in a pole barn. We are having a dilemma this year.
We live in Columbus, Ohio and Lake Cumberland is about 5.5 hours away. We absolutely love LC, its out favorite destination on the water. The lake is very large (in length) and we always find fun stuff to do there. We've been going for 12+ years straight.
Here's the deal though, this year we want to use the Boat more. We normally get down there around 4-5 times per season. We have three little lakes near our home all within 45 minute driving time.
If we keep the boat here, we will be able to hopefully use it more. Just by nature of life, i.e., work, family, etc, we simply can't get down to LC every weekend since it is 5.5hours away whereas we could take a Saturday and go to Buckeye Lake, Alumn Creek, etc which are all near our home.
I've already tried to get her to move to Cincinnati Ohio which would only be 2.5 hours away from the Lake, its a no go.
The thing is, I'm trying to figure out whether the 4 times per year we make it down to LC for 3-4 days per trip is better than using the boat all summer long sporadically.
Any thoughts or commentary?
