canal trip

I'm not sure of placing this post in the right forum.
the wife and I went on a trip recently on a canal trip with your regular liftlocks,but also a rail system liftlock called 'The Big Chute',so will we were waiting for our turn,i took a couple of pics.pretty awesome lift with great weather,thanks for those koozies hotboat, as you can see they are in working order. Attachment 64143Attachment 64144

What am I looking at here other than the Hotboat coozie lol

This railway lift is submerged in the water,you drive in,and it cradles your boat with straps, then it runs on rails comes right out of the water , the straps hold your boat in position and over a big rock incline and over to the next lake approx 60' high, then back in the water on the next lake,the straps go down and you drive away

Lots of people I know go there and they have lots of events going on there during the summer, I believe lake st Clair is joined by Lake Erie and Lake Huron , this place is between Lake Ontario and Georgian bay which goes into Lake Huron

That actually sounds like a fun day boating! 👍

This is really cool! [emoji1303] I'd like to do this! What is on the bottom of the boat?
