Yes, sometimes
I work for a boat dealer from time to time, mostly the boat shows. The answer is yes and no and it depends on the dealer. Dealer's pay a large sum of money to bring their boats down and put them in...

Mutually exclusive
Don't think the two are necessarily mutually exclusive either. We rent a house in a "smallish" cove that affords a pretty spectacular view. However, thanks to the influx of the wake surfing boats,...

Model numbers are pointless
You can't use model numbers to judge boats anymore. It used to be "240" or "220" meant something. Modern boat builders use the model numbers to try to get a boat into competition with other boats...

New boaters
I can't say that I've noticed more performance boats, but I've only been up a few times.
What I have noticed is what must be a ton of new boaters. I saw several boats on the wrong side of markers...

Tips
I tip between $5 and $10 based on a variety of factors, at least partly on what cash I happen to have in my wallet at the time.

On my list
On my list is to get 2 of the same deck tube. It's a big list, so I might borrow yours (Dave R) to give it a try.
Thanks!

Depends on route

Up, but not "high"
Check out www.bizer.com and click on "lake level". I used that page a lot when I used to slip at Parker.
You'll see that the lake is high vs typical for this time of year, but it's not beyond...
