Horrible news. Guess the only thing left to do besides deal with it is to drain the lake and start all over again.

That won't help..... They'll be in every lake and river in Texas within a few years. Just have to deal with it like everybody else --- don't leave anything in the water you don't want ****ed up, and cough up a lot of money fixing stuff that gets ****ed up...

Yes, it is extremely terrible news...

I think the marinas are going to have a tough time with this....

A lot of people are not going to want to leave the boat in the water...

Drain and Dry. Boats are the way they are transported from lake to lake. Marinas have the least to worry about. Its the utilities that will have the most to deal with. It is a massive cost to replace anything they have access to. There is no defense against them.

When I say effect on marinas, I'm talking about the boats that remain in the water in slips or stalls... Wouldn't those boats be vulnerable?

Yup, anything that is not made of the right alloy will be overrun with the mussels.

If I were selling boat lifts, I know a couple marinas I'd be giving calls to.

Maybe, but would those marinas shell out the bucks to install them, and how many people would shell out the bucks to rent them...

Shell. Heh. Get it?
