Yesterday while boating on Big Cedar lake I saw an interesting boat, so I had to get a closer look. It was a 18' inboard with the backend designed like a C4, lettering and all, with very bold CORVETTE lettering on the side. Very COOL. T

And, then there's the "WET VETTE" by Mercury Marine (Mercruiser) that built the 90-95 LT5s...

How far do you have to travel to the lake when towing with the Corvette? I'm guessing not too far, and if you have to go further out, you take a different tow vehicle not only for the towing capacity but for cargo and passenger capacity as well.

But for an afternoon on the local lake, the Corvette makes the afternoon even better. Coolness.
Coolness

The boat landing is less that a city block away from my lake home, I never even put any trailor wiring co the car, it's just to launch and retrieve the boat only. T

My Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary (anybody remember those?) gives the definition of "Corvette" as: "A highly maneuverable escort vessel, smaller than a destroyer, armed with anti-submarine and anti-aircraft guns, and only lightly armored."

So your sighting on Big Cedar Lake is appropriate!
