I thought it was to stick empties in when you're swimming.....

    Hey Rdrdon, what do you mean "swimming"? All that moving around is called work . We just throw on a ski vest and float around on our backs Otter style while balancing the brew on our chest (ladies use their tummys ).

    On my lake we have the 'north end.' Its about 3-4 1/2 feet deep. Heres the gang playing beer pong aka "Port O Pong." Its pretty cool. The amount of people that ask if they can also play. Its good. I'll have to see if I've got a picture of the 6ft diameter hampster ball we have. THAT is a HUGE hit down there. We really don't use it, but all the kids down there do. You can barely see the 20ft Ski Centurion tied up to me!! Its got a 200HP Mercury on it. That thing flies. We call it the rowboat on roids...



    And the usual Mariah picture

    You sound like me except we invert the ski vest and put our legs through the arm holes and snap it up front and "sit" in the water holding a rope in one hand and an adult beverage with the other. Only use the rope cause I usually do this out in the middle of the lake where most of the idiots don't come by. Looks funny as heck (kinda like a big lumpy diaper) but you sit upright and lean your elbow on your hip and the beverage sits just above the water line.

    It's the no stress method.

    Hey 94z190talari,

    That sound really cool, we're going to have to try the inverted vest next time we go out. I'll just have to remind everyone after they've had a few brews, it's not a real diaper.....

    I'm not sure what I'd want to store in there, knowing that it's constantly full of lake water. I guess I could keep the supermodels' wet bathing suits in there when we all go skinnydipping.

    Wait, no. That never happens.

    I always put an extra pair of water shoes in there. never know if you will need them. I use the cooler under the front seat in the bow for drinks.
