Hopefully you have a full and speedy recovery. Luckily this isn’t the first year of having the boat so the deckhands should know the drill.

I had knee surgery last month to reconnect my quad muscles to the patella/knee. Fortunately this did not happen in the middle of the summer. I do have some anxiety about boating with limited mobility, but the Dr. says I should be well on my way by May. I was recovering at my house on Crystal Lake up in your area last week. Good luck with the surgery.

Welcome to the forum Chris! For a number of years we rented a house on the east end of Crystal and loved the lake and area. I could only imagine the pleasure of owning a home there!I was recovering at my house on Crystal Lake up in your area last week. Beulah MI
Took my acl out while skiing 1 month ago. Had surgery this past Monday. I'm walking on it ok already but as we know taking it easy on the graft until the bone grows around it (up to 8 months) is everything though my surgeon says the threaded anchor points will easily handle everyday normal. I trailer my boats so being able to do steps (trailer steps) is key. I plan on boating and fishing in a month knowing to just take it slow and easy and watch every step. I definitely have a new respect for people who have had acl injuries. Good luck with your recovery.
Jeff, glad to hear that the surgery went well but I probably could have done without the pictures!Yikes! Looks plenty sore to me.
As difficult a decision to keep the boat in storage would be, given what your knee has been through thus far, removing any unnecessary exposures that might impede a full recovery seems prudent.
You can always hitch a ride with us this summer.
