Hotboat.com at the 2013 LOTO Shootout

[HB Vic]

Great coverage glad you had a good time at the shootout... This year was one of the best for weather and big numbers... Looks like you only made it around Capt Ron's next year you also need to venture closer to the Dam and check out Supercatfest and some of the watering holes down there... Glad you had a good time and come back anytime.... Jim

I'm gonna call this trip a rookie scouting trip. Next year we're doing the whole enchilada, and we're gonna do it right. We almost made Coconuts on Sunday, but we had a wounded soldier. Figured we better stay near a bunker Welcome to www.hotboat.com and thanks for the kind words.

Well I think even for being 1/4mi away (lol), I got a few decent shots. I really like this one with the Flag in the background...

Back to the West for a minute. This Nordic (Lake Havasu City, Az. ) was hauling the mail. Very nice boat.

Great pictures. I would like to say welcome to www.hotboat.com to all our new members. I can't wait until next year so I can go. Should we a rent a big house with docks so we can have a www.hotboat.com meet and greet BBQ (aka Party) or stick with hotels? Input please

One of the things I failed to mention is I understand there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 200/bars/restaurants scattered all over this lake. I also understand there is in the neighborhood of 30,000 boats registered to people who live or vacation on this lake. I also failed to mention some of the homes that we saw, just around the MM we stuck around in, were amazing. Some were more along the lines of mansions really. I loved the fact that nearly every home we saw had it own dock(s) and many had lifts. You guys have it real rough out there

There are quite a few nice places to rent and some of them have decent sized docks to have a party on them. If it were me coming to the lake for the first time I'd definitely check into some of the following places:

Camden on the Lake 7mm: http://www.camdenonthelake.com/?gcli...FRPl7AodD3YAug

VBRO Vacation Rentals: http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals...-of-the-ozarks

Tan-Tara Resorts (it's a little older place but the Canadian's said it's a blast, they have both the hotel and rental condo/cabins) http://www.tan-tar-a.com/

We head to the lake almost every weekend from Omaha (5 1/2 hours one-way), for the Shootout weekend we come down on Wednesday to make a long weekend and catch all of the festivities... Jim
