Knoxville Tn. area hot boat friends

**Cpines** · 02-26-2017, 11:26 AM

I'm over here in eastern Tennessee on Douglas lake. I have a 21 Liberator with a
300xs here at the house. I have direct water access right from my backyard. The only thing I don't have is anyone over here with similar interest. It's all bass boats and pontoons. There are a bunch of lakes and rivers to run in the Knoxville area. Any other folks that might like to run some of these areas and educate or explore them? I open to weekdays or weekends.
Looking foward to meeting some new liked minded friends.

Well, keep in mind this here is Allison country, and there's a number of triple digit bass boats running around.

I've only run Douglas once and that was several years ago just doing a test run on a boat I ended up buying. I'd love to run up there sometime with my Allison... after you get some water back in that lake. There's a pretty good bunch of us on Watts Bar that get together on various islands and sand bars. I'll shoot you a PM.

Anytime you guys would like to run, let me know. I'm willing to drive to hook up with some friends. is it to early in the season for you both to run yet?

It's not uncommon for several of us to ride on Watts Bar on days when the temps get up into the mid-60's, but things won't really get started until the water comes up to summer level. I needed a fix and pulled mine to Florida last week and may do it again this weekend for the Suwanee run. There's a thread on here about it. I'm 90% sure I'm going but will know for sure by Wednesday. You can follow me down if you're feeling froggy.

I have a friend that lives up in Kodak with a Noles (laser copy). if he had some people to run with, he might actually run his boat

I'm in the triple digits with a 32 pitch drag 4 and 1/4 tank of fuel. Easy cruising is 80-85. Liberators are easy to drive and super smooth. Let me know when you are ready to run. I have water access year round in my back yard here at Douglas Lake.

All right it seems like there is some hot boat activity over here in E. Tn. This weekend looks like some nice weather, 60 sat. and 66 sun. Any of you guys plan on running this weekend? If yes, where and how to meet up?
Thanks, Blaise 919-491-two eight eight five.
