Yes its sold from what I hear a group bought it.
But part of the deal is John stays on for 2 years and shows them how to run the place and the races.
Its been for sale for quite awhile....just who has that kind of cash?

Just as long as they keep the races and the party atmosphere. Who knows maybe they might improve it a little.
KK-Did you ever buy that barrel of oil?

Yeah, when do the races start? We're gonna try and run that hydro we just got down there this year. Right now the boat is getting paint, after that it should be back together pretty quick. Keep your eyes peeled for a neon yellow Cole named "Chemical Dependance." I think I may also bring my flat down and see what she'll do. No name on that boat yet, but I'm leaning towards "Wisconsin Death Trip." I know we won't run the entire season, but we're gonna try and make 4 or 5 races.

Static X it is. The original title "Wisconsin Death Trip" was from a book, thats where Wayne and the boys stole it from. I figured I had to get some pleasure out of living in Wisconsin, hence the name. I think I'm gonna have the name airbrushed on the side towards the back on top of the burgandy. I'm leaning towards something similar to Westcoast Choppers logo.

Back to boating, I hope you guys benefit from the change of ownership, it always sounds like a great venue and a good time.
I like to hear accounts of the action up that way and pictures are always welcome :D wink :)

It's not for sale. 49% of the island was sold off to an investment group 2 years ago. That's why all the improvements have been made and it's really turning around. They actually cannot sell more than 49% because by law if it leaves the Haley family the county can shut it down.
I don't know if anyone has been past it lately but they have really been doing a lot of work out there. They redid the whole dance floor so everything is on 1 level now and they are building upstairs too!!! There is talk about a VIP room upstairs over looking to main dance floor. It should be another great summer out there. They would never take away the boat races, that's their best revenue right there!!!!
See ya out there!!
