I would suggest bringing a boat, especially because you live so close. My round trip is about 1,500 miles, and I always bring my boat with at least one engine with me! The boat riding is really what I like best about Tomahawk, not to mention meeting all our friends and the buying/selling. The cool temps, [compared to Missouri} smooth water and beautiful scenery are what my family loves there. In fact my wife probably would not go unless she could boat ride.
If you bring a boat, just watch out for the rocks that are hiding out
there! Last year was my maiden trip to Tomahawk and voyage
out in it’s waters. My Chris Craft Challenger proudly navigated
the waters……. for about 6 minutes……. then I heard a mighty
"clunk" and the sound of the motor winding up like a jet engine,
as the shear pin "sheared".
Fortunately, I was towed back to the landing by an OMC
named "Bad Brown", "Big Brown", "Ugly & Brown", or
something like that. 😕

Bringing at least one boat, to sell, and maybe another to run. Also parts to part with, and show & run motors. Nice FeatherCraft Ranger with slick paint job.
I loaded up eleven outboards to take to Tomahawk.
Nothing too exciting. Just trying to get ride of "duplicates"
of stuff I don’t need.
Two "froze up" QD Johnsons, mostly complete.
Five running units in various states of completeness,
and a "free pile" of four TD Johnsons with enough
parts to make one good one!
Also, a few fiberglass hoods and two big OMC rewinds
for outboards I do not have, or need, lol.
I’ll be at campsite 81 if you want to take a peek!
Just hope I can get rid of most of it so I can bring home
something I don’t have. 😮
