I am partnering with a slightly older gentleman than myself who is in the same boat. Has some issues as do I and we will try and keep an eye on each other. One requirement is auto inflating life preservers for both of us. I used to have to find people with a boat to go with and had trouble. Now...

World conditions and money supply currently also affect peoples "willingness" to buy extra things.

We have had rains but they have to fall in the watershed. Getting rain right now but we would need at least weeks of worth of steady rain in the watershed to do any improvement to the lake.

The lake is only 37% full.

Down here in Central Texas where I am. It's due to lack of water. Lake Travis, one of the closest largest lakes near me is over half empty. It seems. All the boat ramps are out of the water.

Found this on YT.

I have a 1974 16' Mirrocraft that may be similar to yours. Best I can do right now is this one. Can get a better closeup view later if needed.

I can't take credit for the photos as they were from people that were with me on the center line. The ones posted here were mostly from a co-worker. I tried with my cell phone and other cameras but mine were bad compared to theirs. Glad you enjoyed them!

Had a great view of the eclipse from Gatesville Texas.

My boat is just a small aluminum fishing boat. No parties or towing and such going on. Generally I have a hard time finding anyone to go with me anyway. If I do want some music it will be BT headphones from my phone. I don't mind others having music or whatever as long as it isn't blasting...

I have one of these for use when needed, but not on the boat. Got it new long ago for $70 on Amazon. Works excellent for a decade old product. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-SRSX55-BLK-Powerful-Bluetooth/dp/B00TTWZHBW?th=1

That is the price of almost anything now days.

My boat is only for fishing and will never pull anything. Rarely will see more than 2 people at a time.

I had a buddy in HS that had a car with that engine. Couldn't kill it if you tried. Nothing special about it other than it always ran.
