Astor, Fl - Silver Glen Springs

Entry Description

Late run up to Silver Glen Springs off of Lake George near Orlando. Beautiful sunny and warm winter day. Anchored in, ate lunch swam the springs, nodded casually to several Sportsman families also there. What you don’t see her are the 2-2.5’ whitecaps at 3-5 seconds on Lake George just outside the run. The 261 with SeaKeeper Ride made the ride dry and fast… so much so my Mrs said “Open Her Up!” Hammered them flat at 45mph with barely a beat skipped. We flew past smaller boats, toons and jest skis cracking their teeth and hammering their kidneys on the 20 min crossing!

Favorite Feature

The space, layout for 8-10 adults, and the SeaKeeper Ride! Confidence inspiring handling. Everybody loves the sandbar mode with the chairs spinning around.
