Todd in NY

That's insane!

Thanks for the report!

This was on the Watertown news the night of April 13th. Too bad these so-called "experts" at the IJC can't get it right. https://www.wwnytv.com/2021/04/13/ijc-water-levels-lake-river-are-feet-below-average/

How does low water levels benefit the wetlands? The wetlands at Stony Creek in Jefferson county (shown in another post), as most other wetlands, are less likely to thrive with near-record low water levels. How does low water levels benefit shipping? If you people could read, you would see that most of us would rather see the water levels closer to normal, or slightly higher, but not to a point of flooding out homes and businesses that have thrived on the lake and SL River for many decades before plan 2014 came along. A 7.2ft difference is hardly what could be considered rational or acceptable. Maybe the IJC will raise the water levels after a few cargo ships run aground in the river, or after the damage to the wetlands becomes too great...

huh 🤔

As already stated, keep the 175 on the boat. I would not have bought my 22ft aluminum Crestliner Sabre if someone had a 90hp motor on it, no matter how new the 90 was. The 1989 Evinrude 150 that is on my Sabre needed a tuneup, which I was happy to pay for, but she runs like a champ every season.

I've used that launch for 6 or 7 years now, and I've never seen it this low. How big is your boat? Outboard or I/O?

That's exactly what I thought might happen. I don't want mud & sand being sucked into my motor. Thanks for the report! Were the channel markers in place yet?

Looks like it's too low for my Sabre right now.

Looks like nearly a 4ft drop from the top of the launch wall to the water.

Thanks for the reports! I was concerned about the low water levels and where to launch my 22ft Crestliner Sabre. I had a feeling that Stony Creek was too shallow right now. I also noticed that Chaumont Marina hasn't put their floating docks in yet, and their non-floating docks are way above the water level.

Great looking boat, congrats!

I hope the water levels are good for the marinas and boat launches all year. https://www.wwnytv.com/2021/03/22/st-lawrence-seaway-begins-rd-shipping-season/

Congrats on a great catch!

This^^^ I use the Lakemaster v2 card in my Hummingbird units on Lake Ontario, Oneida Lake, and every other lake I trailer to.
