Only on Thursday if you don’t know the river.
River Island. Stay to the left of the island going up river even though it seems counterintuitive to be on that side going up river. The right will jack up an I/O, which I learned the hard way.
Why Thursday?
So don't think I could putt around? Trim up slow most parts?Stay to right just before Foxs.
I’m kidding, don’t do that…..That’s a lot of draft for Parker seriously, I wouldn’t do it.
Exactly what I was thinking, a lot of things I ready say 24-36 inches however on the owners manual it states 40" depending on the gear loaded. Link below....
Ya but to be on plane I'd have to be cruising soooo kind of a pickle....
2010 318 ssx
I don't have any firsthand experience with that model, I wasn't working there when that model came out.
Is that bad?
Where did you find that? Only thing I found in writing was the manual. So 2ft/3ft is easily manageable for the river right?
Just an ongoing joke, you'll be fine, just avoid the shallower areas as mentioned, Ive seen bigger boats on the river............ and if the opportunity arises, swamp a plow boat
That's her. And yes they wrote the draft but they are sales people so don't trust it fully.
I’ve pulled one very similar to this off the rocks/sandbar just below Foxes. Made my little ski boat look like I was pulling a container ship! It was on a Thursday morning and you could see the sand bar from a mile away!
Look those martinis weren’t gonna make themselves.
Think we getting side tracked here...
South of Foxes you’d be fine. Might get a few middle fingers though lol.
If you don't know the river stay south of Fox's. As stated above you can take the CA side to get to Fox's when cruising north but don't get too close to the CA side, it's shallow over there too. Past Fox's you're fine in the middle, but turn around at Castle Rock Shores.
If your buddies are going. Go on their boat. Problem solved.
Because I would do parker like 1 time every 3 years...
I'd rent a pontoon or something. You'll have a much better time. Your boat is not suitable for Parker....probably OK for Havasu but still not ideal.
Those of us “hyping” you up are just saying how it goes in Parker. There’s plenty of space for those who understand what’s running there.
Oh 100% be respectful. I not trying to go speed, block waterway, create issues. Just take i, post up halfway between casino and pirates den. Post up at pirates den drink a beer cruise back at 20mph.Those of us “hyping” you up are just saying how it goes in Parker. There’s plenty of space for those who understand what’s running there.
It’s a little too much of boat for a typical weekend. Stay south of Foxes and you’re safe. Don’t throw a 3ft wake and “most” will be cool.
At the end of the day it’s a federal water way. But it’s always encouraged “small” extremely high performance boats. If you treat the river/lake as such you’ll be fine.
You’ll be fine. The only advice I’d offer would be either idle around or get on it (30mph+). That size of boat throws a decent wake at “almost on plane” speeds.
