Pretty much the same as Prop Stop.



It would take a awhile to get your money back but Sun Buns could make a lot more money than the Prop Stop.

Turn it into a titty bar and I’m in. I’ve always dreamed of owning a titty bar like in the sopranos

We should all chip in buy it and name it OT10s. It would be nothing but dudes.

Nevermind. Bad idea

The one that always amazed me was Blind River Bar. You have to haul EVERYTHING in and out by boat and they might have been open 60 days a year. Since it burned I doubt it will ever be rebuilt.


Blind River Bar was accessible by road and still couldnt make it out there. Prop Stop is what youre referring to. Prop Stop has extremely low overhead and is paid off Im sure, so its prob not hard to make seasonal profits.

The only way would be to make it viable year round and buy the land across the canal (if possible) for parking, and develop a consistent shuttle across the canal to the bar. Lots of liability there and I just dont see people driving out there consistently. I wouldnt do it.

Blind River Bar made it for 50 years as just a dump of a bar before it was sold and rebuilt to be like prop stop.

Steve spent a lot of time and money on that place. I’d have to take a long look at the books before I dipped my toe into the water. They seemingly went all out.



Yeah I wouldn’t trust the “books” even if they have them.

Completely sucks now. New owner is a raging cokehead bitch that hates everyone that doesn’t drive a $100k+ boat.
Thinks she owns the river in front of her house further up river near Tin Lizzie’s and cusses everyone that drives past there on plane. Even though it’s no longer a wake zone.

Naw man. Kathy and Lance are cool AF unless you act like a dickhead out there. Even then, they cut you some slack for being wasted.

Keep your boat wake low till you pass their crib and in front of the PS. Keep your music down when docked. Don’t bring a drink off the boat.

Relax and enjoy. Don’t demand. Go with the flow and enjoy the place for what it is, that rare slice of summer weekend fun time.

Yea that’s what I would’ve guessed. We used to go a handful of times a year, always had a blast.

Da faq you talkin' about baw? The ONLY thing resembling a road in the whole triangle made up by Smith Bayou, Blind River and the Diversion is the little one that connects the "golf cart" camps to the end of River Highlands and that little trail ends 3 miles from BRB and can only carry golf cart traffic. The "golf cart" camps have to be covered by a fire boat just like BRB and the camps there.

My uncle used to own the Prop Stop. Good times man.

But def made money just being a seasonal bar that only had boat access. Parking is the only issue to me with Sun Buns.

Boopalu’s is For Sale. It’s open year round and at the boat launch off hwy. 22 in Springfield. I would love to see somebody buy that and serve some good food on a regular basis.

Boopalu’s
I’ve never stopped there but friends seemed to like it. It’s probably hard to keep good help employed because it’s so seasonal.

I remember having a lot of good times at it’s predecessor, Frogs Breath. The food and service there was pretty spotty before it burnt down but the drinks were good.
