So nice to get positive feedback. I appreciate it !
Love the shirt and miss your posts.
No. People don't usually leave anything tied to the docks unless it's a PWC up on one of those plastic ramps that gets the whole thing out of the water. The water units released from Davis are completely dependent on what the farmers want and can range ~6' in a couple hours or more. In winter MANY of the docks in front of houses here are on dry land for a while with just a trickle of water in the center of the river. Basically we live and die by the release schedule of the dam which we check each morning. Needles and below is deep enough that Davis dam doesn't make much of a difference at all. That's why everyone in this thread is talking about their stories running North of Needles. I know the whole run from Davis to London Bridge like the back of my hand now...and it's not impossible for many boats most of the time...but you better know what you are doing, better not have a 40' Apache offshore race boat and better look at the Davis dam release schedule...otherwise $$$
Haha! I've only done it in our 21' Shockwave jet and I don't think I'll do it with my outboard Tahiti... yet, for several reasons. Shockwave is getting the motor rebuilt and the Tahiti has 15 minutes of testing time on it and is literally sinking (I'm patching holes right now). Like others have said, it's not a bad idea to rent a PWC or two and try the run out. Just make sure to stand up and look down at the water with polarized sunglasses to really see what's going on. Sometimes you can see the ripple of water over the shallow areas or just see the color change even at a bad angle. After a bit it doesn't seem so hard. Just gotta know the few spots to zig zag. TBH, Big Bend park is probably the biggest prop/impeller/hull killer on the whole run. When we sit on the beach on a busy day at least 5 people are going back to the trailer with damage from that area, lol.
I love your pos
Where did you guys launch here?
Could you PM me what you know about the power package and his contact info in case it’s a match for me. Thanks
We launched at Windsor at about 8:30 AM. We were back out of the water at 10:30 AM
PM sent
Think the 230 is safe at 3 units?
What’s the plan?
Baby mama and the kid is out of town. Just trying to find a reason to use my bote.
Haha nice! have you been from needles to pirates?
Damn.......where would we launch and when?
I've never launch anywhere else but springs. So you lmk haha
Havasu Springs to Needles is a pretty good run! I'll need a 55gallon drum a fuel with me. =)
I'm down for whatever. Slow boat here so I'll be in the back.
Jack Smith to Pirates is like 8 miles? To the channel 25ish?
My wife and kids are supposed to go with her mom to see her brother later today and will get back Sunday night. One of the kids is not feeling well so they are in a holding pattern for a few hours. If they go, I am in 100%.
I'm fine with whatever tbh. My boat takes half a tank from springs to pirates. Whatever distance that is.
I don’t know if the Avi casino still has gas. For sure pirates and 66 are options for Fuel
Haha
Guys the water level is high. I’ve been flying up and down the river last few days. They’re letting out gobs of water. You’re good. Just stay in the line
Boat looks greatWindy af today. White caps in havasu so ended up going to Parker. Next time boys
