Never again will I bring my boat to Schmidt Boat Service in Brenham Texas. I dropped off my 2002…read moreAlumaweld Express with 209 hours on the motor (June 25) and picked it up today (July 16) with 225 Hours! The manager laughed said it wasn't their fault, they didn't put it in the water, and a mechanic must have left the key on overnight. I only dropped it off to get the carburetors cleaned and the bilge pump repaired. I dropped it off once before for the yearly maintenance with 160 hours and picked it up with just over 200! I'm pretty sure they don't take it joy riding, but the increased hours lowers the resale value of the motor. I did not record the hours the first time, but this time I took a photo with my cell phone in the parking lot as I unhooked the trailer. My suspicions were confirmed as I took the second picture with the 16 extra hours. That's more time than I have put on the boat in the two years I've owned it! I was warned by a coworker about this company after I described my experience on social media. He was charged for parts that were never replaced. I retrieved my old receipts when I got home and noted that the upper fuel pump was replaced in February of that year, but I had just been charged again! I called the shop and asked for the faulty part that they took off since there must be a warranty, and the boat had only been on the water one time before it broke down. He stated that the mechanic thinks he replaced the upper fuel pump, but they did not have the old part anymore. I pointed out the part had just been replaced according to their February receipt. He stated that he was unaware that he had worked on the boat that recently and would refund the part. Both fuel pumps appear to have the same amount of dust covering them, but both are now signed, dated and photographed in case another mechanic tries to scam me. The previous owner swore by this mechanic, and had all of his maintenance completed here. I cannot recommend this business to anyone that I care about and caution anyone from conducting business with them.

We were on one the smaller loops. Was a lot quieter than the other ones LOL the swim area was full of boats by the afternoon. The trails are marked, when you drive in and go toward the swim area, you'll see the brown sign at the entrance along the right. We drove around and checked out all the sites, they have quite a few that can accommodate large RVs along with extra parking for a boat. If you pull up the satellite view on Recreation.gov you'll be able to view the spot numbers and layout that way. Perfect for sunset pictures! Seems a lot cleaner than past pictures. Read online that is was part of the push of why they stopped allowing day passes. COEs on the lake are only for camping reservations, which is great bc it was pretty busy, cam only imagine how crowded it would be if it was open to public as well.

We had such an amazing time on Lake Travis thanks to Willo and Float On. Everything about the…read moreexperience was extremely streamlined from booking to filling out waivers to navigating to the marina. Willo gave superb instructions on operating and piloting the boat including an overview of relevant customs and laws while out on the water. Our group had six adults and one 2-year old and they had plenty of water safety devices for all ages. On a side note, it was wonderful to see how genuinely excited Willo was about Lake Travis once again having a healthy water level after several dry years. In terms of our experience on the lake, we got excellent advice on where to travel based on our team's interests and after following his directions it felt like we had arrived on our own private lake. We probably only saw a handful of other boats during our 3-hour excursion and that was only in passing. The boat came with a Garmin GPS that made it really easy to retrace our steps. For those wondering, there was excellent cell phone service out on the lake and we were able to use our phone GPS, make calls, and stream music. The boat had some nice integrated speakers with Bluetooth connectivity and we were able to jam out to our own tunes. There was also a cool flotation device attached to the back of the boat called the Aqua Lily Pad which we unrolled after anchoring, we had multiple adults laying on it without sinking into the lake. Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience and we would highly recommend booking with Float On.

One time I jumped in the water at Lady Bird Lake, and I got morbidly ill for days and could not get out of bed. I would highly not recommend getting in the water there. That being said, Lake Georgetown is quite different and it would seem that the water is pretty clean there. It probably goes without saying it is much less crowded than Lake Austin/Travis or anything near downtown, and it has plenty of space for picnicking, camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Usually I will go running around Lake Georgetown because it is much less crowded than Lake Austin, and there are shorter routes depending how far you want to run. I guess the one thing I will say is that the trails to "hike" or walk around the lake are not as established as some other hiking trails I've been on, so just be prepared for that and maybe don't wear short shorts if you're going to try any hikes around the lake.
