well for the past week or so ive been testin my boat in little lake harris "deep water" and my boat is not a deepwater boat. well i went to lake george this past sunday and had fun ridin good skinny water so i was curiouse to find out if there was anyplace close i could go to ride like in the afternoons after work cuz drivin over an hour to lake george is out of the question and i doubtful about goin 20 - 30 mins to emeralda marsh but that might have to be my ridin spot just checkin to see if anyone knew where to go
 
pretty goo i swear i posted a reply but it didnt post so ill try this again lol im still havin slight timin issues but in shallow water i can run it and get on plane ok but in order to spin 3000 i have to retard it i think my cam is retarded or advanced something isnt right on that part it has to be ive checked everything else but get it on plane with two people in shallow water imagin that lol but i have to back off i need a trim tab if i dont back off of it after i get on plane shell beat ya to death lol front will start skippin ive had it the fastest sunday with two people in it had to slow down started gettin 2 bumpy and my passeger well she was gettin a lil scared course she gets scared when im on plane and i make a nice turn letttin the rear slide a lil ways out into the corner lolbut other than gettibn my timing worked the rest of the way out and puttin a trim tab on it it rides i need to get all that fixed and have someone ride beside me to see how fast it is i know it gets goin in shallow water and i havent even got to see what shell do yet
 
by boat it takes 5 mins i would say but thats goin straight across the lake round the edge bout 15 mins maybe 20 and in a vehicle id sey 15 mins
 
There is a little bit of riding just North of Groveland on SR 19. The landing is on 19. Not a huge place but it wets the boat.
 
i also live just about 1 mile outside of Astatula on little lake harris. The marsh on 19 is dry as a bone and the boat ramp has been closed for repair. As for Emeralda Marsh i would be careful I don't believe you are allowed to ride in there anymore. You used to be able to ride the marsh on the north side of lake Yale but that is closed also. I just travel to Lake Cypress. Hope this helps.
 
hmm i havent heard anything about the marsh being closed i went today there was a bigger kicker boat on one of the lake parts and i didnt see any signs at the boat ramp when i put in other than please leave the weeds wich is a normal sign i also rode a lil bit and man is it been trashed back there only rode for bout 30 mins but theres signs that sey boat crossing and stuff like that up i guess for kicker boats to stay in the lil channels
