we usually don't boat around here because of the wonderful wis dnr.the lakes around ocnomowoc are heavily patrolled,and the all have speed limits. we almost always tow about 70 or so miles north to lake winnebago. it's great lotsa of water and nice places to wade and relax and look at scenery and boats,too! i picked up a trialer from under a sea ray deck boat and amazingly enough it fit with out major mods. we also tow out to the miss river which is about a 3 to 3-1/2 hour tow. not bad if you've got a good tow truck. our 1996 dodge 2500 works good towing 6000 lbs or so. damn, that reminds me i've gotta fix the brakes on the trailer in spring. thanks jay wagner
