Valcour to Willsboro Bay in a few minutes
One of our customers you tube video from a September poker run on our lake. Hold on to your hats! This boat will top out at 150 mph. Oh it's for sale if anyone is interested I think its selling for $180,000. He wants to go faster with his next boat. He upgrades every 3 years. This boat is the former 2001 world champion boat.

All you would need is to put out the trolling bags to slow down for Lake trout.

Makes you wonder if you have to wear a space suit to drive that thing
Re: Plattsburgh Bay to Willsboro Bay in a few minutes
Is there a speed limit on the lake?

Sure is legal. Champlain is a federal waterway. No speed limits

Just think of the cost to refuel at the end of his poker run. I think I prefer to start up my kicker and troll down the lake.

I think a pair of 1,200 hp. racing engines by Mercury. The two custom lab finished props cost about the same as a new 115 Mercury.
You wouldn't want to throw a $20 bill to help pay for gas on a 2 hour run.
You can't put a price on fun!

A $20 bill wouldn't cover anywhere near a hours worth of fuel except maybe if it was left idling at the dock.

The $20 would cover starting it on the trailer in the water to launch it.
The 2 hr ride: Priceless.
