Welcome

Any ideas on who it is??????

Heard a little about it while at State Dock this weekend.

Wait! Grider Hill sold again???

Looks like and we are all cautiously optimistic!

Come on RE73 give us the 411

Pardon E, for he cannot count or type correctly! I will not state whom we believe it is out of respect for the new owner(s). After what we have been trhough, we don't want to jinx this!

ALL will have a Very Happy Thanksgiving and a Very Merry Christmas and Spring 09 will welcome you ALL

I hope the new owner will do better than the last... It would be great to be able to buy the kids icecream once guzman is gone.

From the way it looks it will take about 10 to 15 Million worth of Infrastructure work to get the Marina and Lodge facilities into 1st. class condition so the facility can survive and provide services for the next 30 to 50 years.

Dolphin....does your statement mean the deal is not going to happen?
You seem to have an inside track. Is your ear close to the potential new owners?

It would be a good thing if it is whom I think it is. Good man!

I think it's Dolphin, and he just don't want to let the cat out.

I have heard that also but did not want to start anything but now that you brought it up Dolphin the truth will set you free

Be free Dolphin, be free!

If it is Dolphin, do you think he'll be allowed to post on LC.com again?

Iffin it's Dolphin, I'm probably toast!

P.S. I love dolphins!

Well Bill J. said on that other forum (you know the one) that he is not buying it and he doesn't think Tony Sloan is either.
Hmmmmm, come on Dolphin let us in on the secret.
We won't tell nobody.

I guarantee you I do not need any additional Projects at this time.


I am such a Happy Boater enjoying all that the Cumberland and State Dock has to Offer

Now if the web's are selling a Marina on Dale Hollow ??? Maybe they are considering another ????

That's official enough for me, Webbs are buying it with left over money from the taxpayers of Lexington. You heard it here first.

I bet RE3 knew all along since this guy seems to be Fla based... Its a conspiracy! LMAO just kidding. I hope this means GREAT things for Grider.

We spent the night a couple of times aboard a houseboat at Hales Bar Marina. Not bad at all.

This name has been kicked around as a possibility for quite a while but the only conspiracy was to get rid of guzballs! I too hope this means great things but know we have to give the guy a chance. The marina was aging when purchased 2 years ago and is not in better shape than it was then. There had been significant storm damage 4 years ago that was patched at (most of it didn't show because it was underwater). Don't let the purty new green roofs fool ya! GHD has a great location, solid customer base and some loyal employees. What it needs is a leader with a vision and a good infusion of money into the infrastructure. Hopefully we will get that.
