HEAR ME OUT. AFTER YESTERDAYS DAM RUN

[JFMFG]

I’ve been thinking. How cool would it be to do Havasu to Davis Dam the day before the Dam to Dam run from Davis to Hoover? I know water level plays a huge part in being able to run the entire stretch of river. So maybe it couldn’t happen the day before. But maybe @RiverDave could line up a run with @Bullhead bully as the leader but be mindful of some of us slower guys who cruise 60-70? I just think it would be a lot of fun.

I think it’s only possible to do it during the week. Jetski rental is nuts around bullhead.

Is Friday considered during the week? Or are we talking Tuesday-Thursday

 

[Joker]

You’d pretty much have to run single file. That may be an issue if there’s a lot of boats.

And for that reason, I'm out

lol, slower guys that “cruise” 60-70. I was pinned to be near 70 in my old sled.

We would start In havasu then end up back In havasu. Unless we somehow all send the wife’s with trucks and trailer to pull us out at riverside casino?? . My wife prob won’t go for that and she’ll end up driving the boat and I’d be retrieving In Laughlin

I could get Paul (Bullhead Bully) to lead but he’s not going to go that slow.

I had a heck of a time following @SJP and @Bullhead bully up there in our 22. Their equipment isn’t set up to do 80

If 60-70’s is the slower guys, what are us 45-50 guys considered?

Left behind

I actually have the full run to Laughlin here if you guys want to see the lines.. The plan is when Paul gets back to edit a video showing exactly where all the spots are to avoid and change lanes etc. You can watch this video here that shows it from Pirates north to Laughlin and it's the whole ride.

i’ve talked about doing this many times. And there are a bunch of different factors that make it pretty difficult.

I’ve done it quite a few times with the total of four maximum five boats. Once you get more than that, people start spreading out and lose the line up the river and that’s when things can go wrong. (Two way communication between Boats is always awesome as well )

I think we could definitely do some thing in spring. Early May is when there’s the most water. Gives us the most margin for error. Dave and I have talked about doing something by the air and on the water videoing. Really like that idea. Because then you can see the reefs from the air.

anyway, I’m always open to do the run. And the liberator can run 60 mph. We don’t have to run the M37 at 100.

Launching from Windsor makes the most sense if someone wants to say they went from parker Dam to Davis Dam and back. We’re all very familiar with the run down to Parker Dam.

I am open for options. We’re doing the run this Wednesday.

 

[crzy2bealive]

the water was super low this past weekend, but I still saw the London jet running the river. They were making their way past the avi.

If you really want to learn follow them they go at all water levels.

Come on @BUDMAN I know that you are good for more than 60…..

Have you tried a different prop?

 

[NicPaus]

Have you tried a different prop?

Yeah
That 19P is clearly not working well. Except for getting on plane quickly. Lol

 

[SJP]

It is a fun run - I have done it by myself before but I prefer to run with @Bullhead bully on these because he has done it X1000. Early morning before the rentals are out and obviously aligned with the water unit optimal schedule.

I’d love to do it early Spring/May. Means I can have the Bimini down and not worry about the kids being burnt and run the boat faster if needed. The aerial and water video would be pretty darn cool.

You’d pretty much have to run single file. That may be an issue if there’s a lot of boats.

We run single file when doing the lower river run and it isn't an issue.

 

[RogerThat99]

I made the run once with Bully and War Canoe, in Bully's Nordic with 400's. It was a great trip even though I was on 1 hour sleep. LOL. very memorable.

 

[Bigbore500r]

Id like to run all the way to laughlin but water needs to be up and definately mid week. I have enough close calls with Jet ski's as it is, don't wanna drive right into the beehive in upper bullhead / laughlin

I run the same line. The problem is with to many boats they drift of the line. NOT GOOD

 

[the510]

this sounds like fun. Always wanted to do it.

We're also discussing boats that wouldn't make it past the first sandbar in Blythe.
