Conneaut Lake Pa?

[SAMMYMAN]

anyone from around conneaut lake or go there? i'm thinking of buying a used saltare if i can find the right one at a price i can live with and would like to have the opportunity to get to know one a little in person if someone has one they'd like to showoff a little....

i used to have a beast and the fella i shared a dock with had a saltare. but he was never at the lake when i was. so if anyone would like to meet a new person who's a supra lover i'd love the opportunity to talk boats with you and impose for a look at your boat

i live near pgh....

sammyman,

Where near the Burgh do you live?

I'm a Bethel Park boy (Slippery Rock Alumni), now living in Florida.

When I was a kid my family had a place at Lake Latonka, just outside of Mercer.

Loved that place.

Do You Ever Get To Pa Anymore? How Long Since You Lived Here?

Well, hell, you oughta be real familar with Lake Latonka. It's right off route 62, about 1 mile west of 79.

I try to get up to the Burgh at least once a year...I gotta have my Danny's Parkview Pizza Italian Hoagie fix

My mom lives in Upper St. Clair and I have family all over Washington County.

I moved from Bethel Park in 1984.

I have many relatives up your way - the Edwards Family in Oil City and my Mothers parents (McDonald) used to own the Vowinkle Hotel in Vowinkle.

If your ever on your way up to Warren, stop in. The new owners of the Vowinkle Hotel makes some of the best chicken wings money can buy!

I Have a friend that lives near Venice - in Bonita Springs. Next time you come thru here, you make sure to give me a shout. I'll take you surfing behind the world's most famous Moomba Outback V

I'm about 4 hours from Venice - actually I'm 25 miles due west of Orlando.

you never know Ed.... i might just show up someday... my son is stationed in charleston, but is almost always gone these days to really dangerous places i just as soon he wasn't at in a jet (not ski... if you get my drift. which is about halfway to venice and goes pretty close to you. actually don't get down very often. i came by the house a bad way. it was my parents, and my mom died Christmas eve.... so i'm actually in the process of wanting to sell it. but looks like if i do it's gonna be to one of my best friends, so i'ts always available to me.

when you get up this way please give me a shout and maybe we can get together. unfortunately i don't have a boat to take you out on, but i'm trying to remedy that if i can find what i want at a price i can live with.

actually, i don't know lake latonka... i may have driven by it a hundred times, but didn't know it i guess. my wife teaches at a college up that way... grove city if you know where that is. did you ever go to shenango? lots of folks around me go there i think. i used to do most of my boating on berlin reservoir west of youngstown ohio. i grew up in boardman which was close so went there from when i was a kid and then graduated to a little 16 foot outboard that i paid 250 bucks for and wish i still had... it was less hassel than most of the other boats i've owned. but most of the ones i had after that were ones that went a hundred mph and made a lot of noise.... probably weren't the best ski boats ever made. but i got rid of those kind and kept the beast there and docked it.

i've been toying with the idea of getting something like a 95 celebrity 240 openbow with is a 24 ft. deep v but just hate to buy something so big just so i can go to put n bay once a year or two and then have to suffer with on the lakes.... but as you know, used supras are difficult to find, and when they do pop up usually aren't on the market too long. especially the older ones which i'm interested. amazing how the folks who have these older boats are so attached to them they don't want to let go. although i think a lot has to do with shellin out 65k bucks for a new one if the did....

but being retired now, i've finally got time to use one so i will find it eventually

Do I know where Grove City College is???

Man, I went to Slippery Rock. We were only about 8 miles south of GC College. Slippery Rock was a dry town, so Grove City is where we got our beer from...12 barrels of Iron City every Friday night

We may be close in age. I graduated from the Rock in 82, but graduated from Bethel Park High School in 72 (spenta few years "finding myself").

I get to Charleston a couple times a year. My sister has a condo on the Isle of Palms. Gorgeous place. I like Charleston very much. Can't stand She Crab Soup

We have active duty Naval pilots on the Moomba board. I can always hook you up with them if you ever want to talk to someone who knows exactlly what your son is in to.

Sorry to hear about your mom. Always tough. My mom is 96 years old now and still hanging on, but who knows for how long.

Please! Show up anytime. I'm about 6.5 hours from Charleston.

In fact, will be up there the last week in Sept.

I hear ya about the inboard boats. I grew up on a 16 foot Starcraft with a 65 HP Mercury outboard and that made me feel like I was in ski heaven!


Oh and by the way...Moomba is a fantastic boat and worth checking out. It's known as the best bang for the buck boat. Visit us on the Moomba forums!
