I’d say steer clear of holiday weekends (tubers and jetski’s) and  bring a heater top. Breeze picks up after 11, till about 6.

Yeah, didn’t put too many hours on this weekend, kids wanted to play at the beach in the shallow water where it was warmer. 

We only take the boat up there on holiday 3-5 day trips and don’t hold out for great temps or water. We have a place a block from the lake and morning glass and sunset cruises are the closest thing I can get to living on the water in Cali. 

I must say the Lake Tahoe/donner muscle inspection and Fee’s are a complete Cluster F..

Donner used to to the inspections right at the launch, now you show up to launch and it’s a “um yeah you are gonna need to drive 25min over to Alpine Meadows to their inspection station and get a Tag” 

so we do.. all boats with PNP require the decontamination and I was charged $75 for the pleasure (week)

If I could have dragged the crew out any early I would have... 

shoot I even tried to rope @shawndoggy to blow off work on Friday, but he apparently was too busy doing 360’s on Pyramid

I am surprised that more aren't talking about the decon/inspections.  Anytime I leave Colorado, I have to have mine decontaminated (5 or more times per year).  Colorado will charge a fee to all boaters next year, right now it costs nothing more than an hour of my time.

Here r few pictures of my 2015 Malibu Response TXI.  6ltr.    I’m OCD like others on here  — I took clear rubber tubing and placed around barefoot clip at front toe to prevent scratching paint and also place towel around it for extra safety.

i had my license numbers matched - 1/8 chrome trim with letters/numbers in red flake.  Turned out great. 

Few pictures I have from different times at summer

Every Annual registration contains a fee and you are already required to display the sticker. 

The inspections and decontaminations are additional.

How much time did it take? I have to go through check points, but they aren’t bad yet...

[teamerickson]

I’ve gone through it ONCE in Tahoe. I got there 30 minutes before open. Took 30-45 minutes. When I left there was a line 15 deep. Weekends are crazy.

20 min drive from the lake we were at, about 30 min inspection/decon, 20 min back. 

It was a Friday morning no line, and about 3-4 boats behind us when we left.

i was probably more irritated with the fact that I did all my launch prep at the cabin, boards, Bimini,battery, coolers ,blowers etc, and then had to bag up the boards and stow the Bimini.

tangent. I now am solely responsible for the Bimini as the wife has given up and gets so frustrated getting it to slide out, it is kind of a pain IMHO.

My wife had the same issue/complaint, so when it came time to order my 18' i got the greatlakes bimini.  SOOOO much easier to deploy, and the wife is now once again responsible for deploying and stowing (which takes all of 30 to 60 seconds)
