Ontario Lakes

[ZonkaRacing]

hey, i hear of all these rally's and races but there all in lakes in the states. is there any lakes like this in Ontario w/ lots of speedboats???:D

[canadianmale]

There are a few lakes within an hour or two from Toronto with lots of fast boats .Here are a few scugog,rice,chemong, buckhorn, pigeon lakes plus a little further north into the Muskokas.But as for organized races or events like that the insurance companies have pretty well crushed those.But there are plenty of fast boats around and some nice people driving them too.

Scugog on a Thursday night. Is that a Sidewinder in your avatar?

[OntarioStreamin]

Thursday nights and pretty much every weekend!

Bogbash is in the spring and is a must attend event!

And I'm sure there will be a convoy of hosers headed to the RUMBLE '07.

[skidoodave]

I second that, the Bogbash is the event to be at, at least if the summer one is like the winter one

[ZonkaRacing]

:D ya thats my sidewinder. Lots of fun to drive :D
Weres this Bogbash place? and Scugog? and what time are the events, i'd like to go to one of those

[skidoodave]

Thats a good lookin winder, what year and what ya got for power. what speeds are ya seein. Lake scugog is just north east of the city, main town is Port Perry. Bogbash is an event at one of the guy's houses that lives on the lake, they have a winter one and a summer one, lots of very fast boats show up.

There is a whole forum devoted to Sidewinders at

Its a 1970, boat and motor, 150 evinrude, my speedo's not very accurate but i get around 55-60mph im guessing with an aluminum prop. Im planing to buy a stainless for the summer and im gona rewire all the gauges during the march break,

il definetely check out that forum, im a big sidewinder fan :D

[ZonkaRacing]

but with this boat it gets really tipsy at high speeds, i dont think i get the full 150horses tho cuz the motors probably tired (37 years old, more then double my age, lol)

[skidoodave]

check it out, lots of good info over there on Winders

[skidoodave]

I think many Ontario hi-performance boaters have a Sidewinder in our pasts.

I had a 14' with a Johnson 115 on it.

[ZonkaRacing]

Is that the same one that was in the boat trader during the summer???

[10.5' Tunnel]

One of these days I'll make it to a run on the bog. Bowriders allowed:eek: :D

[David]

Maybe I can get someone to drag my Ally to the bog, or I'll bring the Voo Doo. I haven't been on Scugog since the 60's.

Is Thursday May 10 too soon? We will be on vacation that week, so that's when boating starts for me.

Everything is relative, I guess. It did about 55 and chine walked like crazy. This was my first "performance boat" and didn't know jack from squat.

The first in a growing longer line.

[PHISH]

I need to hit the Bogbash this year. Sounds like the boys know how to party.
good times!

[skidoodave]

Hey Bogman, you know I'm in, just say the word and you have a passenger.
