    I stopped by my marina today and this is what I saw. I don't think the owners are going to be very happy!

    P.S. Sorry for the crappy pic.......cell phone

    You know those are the signs along the freeway out here to warn people that illegals may be running across the road right? Too funny.

    Actually....to get that running angle, you would need the port tab down.

    I bet that Tri-Hull leaned over and smacked it.

    Never have been able to predict what one of 'dem boats is capable of.

    Gotta love Eastport. That boat has been off the blocks like that for over 2 weeks and they have done nothing about it.

    Yup. Live in Bloomington. Got a buddy that slips a 32 Carver at EastPort. I launch at Detwiller across the river when I do my lock to lock runs between Peoria and Starved Rock.

    Dykstra and Knot, I have boated out thru Peoria for over 20 years and this is pretty typical in a lot of the marinas from my experience. I think the covering and winter shrink-wrapping of the boat speaks for itself. My family has always enjoyed the BBQ joint just up the hill from Eastport when we have overnighted there. The best part of Eastport as a transient is that it is owned by Skipperbud's and they reciprocal and are great to deal with if you have used their other marinas. Maybe catch you guys down there sometime!
