Idea? Great Southeastern Moomba/Supra Owners' Jam

[kaneboats]

It's been a few years since we attended a big owners' meet up. I thought I would open a discussion to see if there is interest and if there are ideas for a place to meet. I would be up for a 2-3 day meetup somewhere. It would be nice if it was within a 5 hour tow of me (Tallahassee), but that includes most of AL, GA or SC. We would need lodging/hotel available at fairly reasonable prices. Camping on the same lake would be very cool as well-- we have done that in the past. Nothing like being able to pull the boat up to the campsite. We would probably need to schedule a Th-F-Sat or a Sat-Sun-Mon to include some weekend days for folks who cannot take off work. I kind of like including a weekday for riding and weekend day for hanging out. Also, best to avoid the big holidays and plan sometime between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

This is the brainstorming page so if you have ideas for dates, locations, sponsors, etc. throw 'em out there and let's have us a get together!

In my opinion, taint no better place than Lake Louisa State Park on the Clermont Chain of Lakes. Chain is at higher than normal lake levels, so one can cruise the entire chain.

3 Skiers Choice sponsored Supra/Moomba Owners Jamborees were held here. last one attracted 40 boats and 170 people.

Camp sites, rental cabins, public bathrooms (with showers), public beach, areas to beach a bunch of boats (on very soft sand) and now there are 2 restaurants on one of the lakes and three hotels within 6 miles of the park.

2 public boat ramps are close with butt load of parking spaces.

We could possibly persuade some of the best wakeboarders in the world to pay us a visit - they live close by

and....for those with families wishing to extend their visit a little longer, Disney World is only 20 minutes away.

Oh, forgot to also mention...there is also a marina where one can rent boats...in case one wants to join in and not have to tow their boat.

depending on time and location, I'd be down. love to put a face to some names..
would not be able to camp as that would exceed the maximum number of pieces of luggage southwest would allow
so hotel close by would be preferable.

and could give a crap about proximity to ratworld(as Ed refers to it)

Scott, you fly in and we'll find room for you in somebody's boat.

Looking at calendar it would have to be June 9-11, June 23-25, July 14-16, July 21-23, July 28-30, Aug. 11-13, Aug. 18-20. Have to avoid weekend before and after July 4. The mid June week is out for me too b/c of a 50th anniversary party in Jacksonville I can't miss (also a big week for graduation parties so good one to skip anyway.)

well I think you would find your opinion would be different if you got out and visited some lakes -within a days tow that is north of us. My .02

Hey Stacy!

You may be right - but when private ramps to the chain of lakes are only 1/4 mile from my house, why go elsewhere?

Traveling with the boat just ain't my thing. Going to Land O Lakes was pushing my limit.

Kane intended this to be a brainstorming thread. What lakes north of us do you suggest for a large southeast jam?

Any big water lake a days tow north of us, that way people a days tow north can come south--middle ground so to speak, Clermont is just to far south for most that are in the northsoutheast-again my .02
