Joey, how would you rate the boating in FL vs. LOTO.......I'm sure it's different but I have always wondered about the pros and cons of each???
Paul, I rank them about equal, just so totally different, boating between the island up the ICW or out in the open water (Gulf) is just amazing, you have to watch you GPS to stay out of trouble (shallow), gotta stay in the channels.

Most find it hard to believe, but boating down here isn't nearly as rough as the water (washing tub) back at LOTO, it's so rough midday on any normal Saturday afternoon boating at LOTO, I wouldn't boat with any boat smaller than a 30'fter at LOTO, my Formula takes a beating sometimes at LOTO, but not so much down here, down here I'd go out in a 20-24' CC any day the weather permits.

Even though there's lots or restaurants/bars down here, it still doesn't compare to what we have back at LOTO and LOTO is becoming the powerboat capital of the country and on any given day you can see tons of high dollar powerboats, it's like a boat show most weekends, I've boated most lakes, rivers and oceans and LOTO is hard to beat, but the winters suck, so we're gonna do the snowbird thing and live 7 months down here and 5 months back at LOTO, seems like the best thing to do, if any of you get out to LOTO or down here give us a shout and we'll get you out and show you what we mean.

Happy boating all.
