Gnarley Gar Closing? (Read 9994 times)

JC Veteran Austin Boater Offline Austin Boater Posts: 254 Cedar Park	Gnarley Gar Closing? Sep 1^st, 2013 at 12:24pm Heard from some lake friends last night that GG will be closing soon. The whole operation needs to be moved further out into the channel. With summer ending, and the costs to move being ~$100K, they have decided to shut down. Looks like Volente will be one of the only spots left on Travis..

Reply #8 - Sep 3^rd, 2013 at 9:28am Well, that ruins the ABF Spring Fling.... othis year would have been the 3rd annual. Evan, I see you asking some Qs on OSO about the EcoBoost. You planning on getting a truck to be able to maneuver that beauty to other lakes? You can borrow my Dodge to see if you like the Cummins

Captain YARRR Admin Offline Doing the rain dance Posts: 2587 Round Rock, TX Gender:	Re: Gnarley Gar Closing? Reply #9 - Sep 3^rd, 2013 at 12:07pm Maaaaaybe I did drive a Cummins and I liked it a lot. Decided it would be tough to park in the medical centers that I visit all week for work. Decided on an Eco Boost max tow 4x4. Looks like it should do well for me.

Reply #12 - Sep 3^rd, 2013 at 7:15pm I read an article where they towed an 8k lbs boat with the eco boost, and it got a whopping 7 mpg. I average about 15 pulling the Nordic which with trailer weighs in the same. Just saying lol. Either way, you gonna make it up my way sometime when you get a truck?
