Actually, the western end of Lake Erie my neck of the woods in the summer.
Two very good events pop into mind:
1) In June is the Round the Bay Race that starts in LaSalle, MI and returns there.
2) In August is the I-LYA Bay Week at Put-in-Bay, Ohio is a great one. There will be a fleet of Waves there all summer and we will be doing beer can races on Wednesdays and at least one day each weekend (just fun, get together races)
Also, there is usually a fleet of the Mystere 4.3 at BayWeek as well.

At your weight the Wave or the 4.3 would be excellent choices. l
We hope to have about a half dozen Waves in the fleet at PIB soon.., maybe more.

And the Wave can be souped up pretty easily and without much expense.
