Just got an Alumacraft console, a Competitor OS with a 90 Merc. Screams like a bat out of, well, you know. Nearly 40 mph. Console has no windshield, and I looked at my snowmobile out in the yard and thought: Why wouldn't one of those work? They're about the same size. I know I could rig one to fit the console. At 40 mph in the boat, a guy really wants a windshleld, you know?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
