@SimcoeRinker400 was Cooks Bay Marina. My old boat was at Kon Tiki and we liked it but when we moved up to the 270 they wouldn't give me a spot. I got my hands on the zoning meeting notice. They want to put in 90 Townhouse condos, 85 hotel units 7000 feet retail and 455 parking spots. Bottom end of Cooks Bay does not need any more traffic...
Trucking the boat up to Lefroy Harbour on May 3, 2021. It's been 40 years since I lasted boated on Simcoe fulltime. Looking forward to getting off Lake Ontario.
@YYZRC, I did not mean to be negative of boating on Lake Ontario, we have enjoyed many years boating here. It's not Georgian Bay but not too many places are. Toronto Island is only 10 miles away and docking on Hanlans wall or anchoring just up the channel is a different experience but relaxing anyway.
Im once step closer to launching but it wasn't easy. I'm pretty sure they designed my 2859 with the chevy v8s in mind and the inline 6 was an after thought. I had barely enough room to pull the impeller put between the housing and the fuel tank. I learned some new words today. Getting it back in was even more fun. Now to see if the trim seal kit I ordered fits my rams, i can't find a serial number on the outdrive or housing. I'm not not going install the seals today, I'll take the ram into the shop and play with it at work later this week. If it fits ill order the one for the other side. I noticed some strawberry milkshake in my trim resevrior. Hit 81 degrees yesterday, feels like lake weather.
I have the engine serial number but the mercury parts look up only covers engine parts. I suppose a mercury dealer may be able to look it up if the original owner registered everthing with mercury.
@SimcoeRinker400 Sounds great let me know closer to the time. Haven't looked around much but I think there are a few Rinkers. I'll check it out once we are settled.

Is there ever a true off season for a boat owner?
I'm not close to a mercrusier dealer.
