So, spring is not yet in the air but your thoughts are already returning to the water and getting your precious Skier's Choice product wet again. So, what's the plan? When is your projected first day on the water (for the new owners) or back on the water for the rest of us? Don't forget to come back and tell us how you did.
Late march
Close the office on April 16th and hope to be on the water!!
I'll make my goal Mayday so I have some cushion. Come on summer!!
Hoping we get a hot spring and I can be on the water around Tax time
All depends on the spray date and the delivery of the new Mondo
I was on the water on Monday...Brrr...will be again on Saturday
Probably get out after July 4th as usual. Way too many other things to do while the water warms up.
I always hope for May 1 but reality says it will probably be more like Memorial Day :(
Was out the Sunday before last. Nice afternoon.
I can't even pick mine up out of storage until april 12th, so I'm guessing memorial day....
I hope by March but no later than April 1!!! I want summer to be here now... Georgia shouldn't be this cold
It's too cold in May. I prefer to start late and keep going into the fall. I laugh at those who get their boats out at the first sign of warm weather. It's nicer in October but by then, everyone around here has winterized their boats and are headed up to the mountains to trip over each other on the two ski runs that are open early.
The plan is first weekend in May to open up and get boat out. Dam repairs are finally complete and the CORPS are planning raising lake level 40+ feet to normal levels after 8 years. So our lake time might be limited due to massive amount debris washed back out to sea. Think I'll let the others chew it up first!!!
April 1st rain or shine is our thing. may have to put it up for another 2-3 weeks but the season launch will be 04/01

I have been on the water 3 or 4 times so far this month. I've pretty much had the lake to myself.
SoCal has some perks.
Come visit me and I'll get you all on the water.
march 15th, if the ice as melted off the water in indiana. no end in sight for this winter.
Hopefully the day after tax day, because there is no chance during tax season.
NYer so im hopping mid May? all depends on air and water temps
I'll be gone pretty much all of march so im hoping for early April when I get home

Hopefully a helluva a lot sooner than last year!
Cinco De Mayo 2013 was ridiculously nice here so maybe Cinco De Quatro 2014?

Boat goes in mid May but we don't do any water sports until May long weekend which is th 24th this year. Pretty chilly water but the kids enjoy the first weekend out at the lake.
Mid May hopefully. but that will likely be with Drysuits . Maybe wetsuits???
boats already been in, myself still has a couple months to go I think
Well with all the extreme subzero weather - We will be lucky to get in the water on Memorial day. We typically try to get in by end of April beginning of May. But I bet we have a foot more ice at this time than we did last year.
We seldom get out before the end of may, so i'm sure it will be the same this year. We do have a Powell trip booked for the first week of June, so I will want to get the lsv out at least once prior to that to ensure all is good mechanically before that whole week on the water.
I still win! Leheeewww.....saheerrrr!!!
No jealousy here. No, sir. That is a record you can keep.
My new (to me) boat is having a new tower installed due to cracks on the old one, and of course while there, I added more amps another sub and a couple of pairs of WS XS-808s in boats - But here in NorCal we have had ZERO rain, Absolutely NONE!
It is insane, while the East Coast is getting frozen out, we are sitting around in 75 degree weather watching our plants die!!
If it doesn't start raining soon, we will be waxing out boat in May and trying to Google Map a route to some other state that has water. There's always the Delta nearby, but it will be swamped with drunks!!
Where are the 808's going?

I love it when we have a dry winter because we always have water but with slower flows on the Columbia and Snake Rivers which means the water temps go up, up, up.

Yesterday was our first day on the water since Thanksgiving Day and back in the water since late October. Our neighbors said the water temp was right around 60. It was a bit nippy.
60? That's bath water. (Yea, right.) I'm shivering just reading that.
need to redo my poll answer to "July 4th--why do I have boat anyway" at the rate were going
I'm trying to get out on Fri. We'll see.
Since we still have snow on the ground and the lakes are still completely iced over, I'm thinking I might not be in until May this year :(

Sigh..... its the second of april and it was 13 below zero last night.... at this rate it will be may long weekend. This is mother nature flipping me off for buying a new boat.... she desperately needs to get laid!
