[PSUBS-MAILIST] Depth Test

Sat May 24 10:27:04 EDT 2014

Scott,
You would be well advised to drive how ever far it takes to have ideal conditions. I have lots of experience doing these deep tests and have returned home empty handed.  Believe me, it can go bad in a hurry.  Just bring it up to Canada, Slocan lake is 970 feet deep 500 yards off shore.  I will help you.
We can use my barge.

 Jim, I am
 thinking maybe what I should do is bite the bullet and drive
 to lake Seneca, NY. Being able to test right off the boat
 ramp is pretty desireable. The fastest I can tow is 4 mph,
 but that is in calm circumstances. If it is wavy like the
 ocean, or great lakes can be, that would be very rought
 several hour tow. Unless someone has a working class boat
 with a crane they would loan me?
 Hehe.Thanks,Scott Waters

  Holy
  cow! 21 miles of towing? Might have to find a plan B. Why
  can't Kansas have a deep clear lake?

  Hi Scott,
  I'm about  18 miles inland at
  Manitowoc and can offer a place to stay as well as a well
  equiped shop. I am planning to test mine soon also! Just
 had
  it out last weekend for a bit. Manitowoc has an
 exceptional

  ramp for launching etc. The bad news is that it is about
 21
  miles out to get to 450 feet of depth.

  Best Regards,

  Thanks
  Chris,
  Looks like I would have to go to the upper lake to
  avoid having to go out to the center. I might be better
  going Fremont Lake, WY. That is a 12 hour drive for me. I
  think I would be a little more protected from the

  elements

  Thanks,
  Scott Waters

  Scott, check out the bathymetry of the lake
  to see where you can test it to 450'

  http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/michiganlarge.jpg

  I'm in the Chicago area, but don't have any
  contacts. I can help with support if needed.

  Scott, If you go to Lake Michigan let me know.  I am
  close enough I could be support or whatever. You should
 hear
  back from others as we do have member in that area who may

  have contacts/experience.

  After doing some research, I think my best shot
  for a depth test to 450' is lake Michigan. Any body
 have
  a contact in that area for help with this test? Lake
  Michigan is about 10 hours away for me and offers plenty
 of

  depth, unless someone has another suggestion?

  Thanks,
  Scott Waters
