Thoughts prayers needed....

[eeboater]

Well, the maiden voyage of my first boat will be this Sunday!!!<br /><br />I believe I'm 100% prepared, I will be launching at either Pewaukee Lake or will be towing my boat up to Green Bay and doing some navigating on the Fox River. It all depends on the weather.<br /><br />I'm planning on making a checklist of things I have to do, laminating it, and then checking it off as I go through the launch of the boat!<br /><br />Sean

<br />May the boating Gods be with you on your maiden voyage EE. <br />Don't leave the cooler on the dock! Unplug the trailer lights and for goodness sake DON'T FORGET THE PLUG!

At some point during the launching proceedure, disconnect the ties between the boat and the trailer.

Thanks everyone!!! By the looks of the weather, I think its going to be Pewaukee Lake, not GB... I was at the Pewaukee launch ramp today for the first time - nice place. Plus Pewaukee Lake is a lot bigger than I originally thought.<br /><br />I just hope it's decent on Sunday!<br /><br />Sean

Extra ignition key under the seat. <br /><br />Laminated check list?<br /><br />Launch and retrieve boat until it is all committed to memory, even if it takes all day. <br /><br />Ahh, no prob, your an ex CGA guy.<br /><br />Have fun.

Be sure to fire it up in the driveway and let it warm up real good while going over the check list.<br />Have fun and don't forget the pics
