My wife wants to take the boat out on Saturday.....I'm not sure

What do you guys think

 

[stephenkatsea]

Blowing about 25-30 with gusts to 40 south end of town. Not much rain.

Saturday is many days away. Weather may be nice.

It dumped for s few minutes and now it's just raining in central. Dog loves the weather..



She's out patrolling the yard.

 

[ChevelleSB406]

Well crap, first trip of the year with 4 river newbies tomorrow through Sunday, fingers crossed we get better weather starting tomorrow.

 

[Andy01]

Raining pretty hard on the south side now, super loud thunder. Construction site across the street out house almost went over lol.

Yeah....looks pretty crazy.

 

[Parkrbound]

Dang it!! Hope this clears out, of course its my luck that I'm supposed to be pulling my new boat I just bought out to Parker tomorrow! 😒

 

[Dettom]

Shit was gettin real in the south end about half hour ago..

 

[Shortdeck]

Made it back on the trailer just in time and then the truck and boat got sandblasted. Weather came fast.

 

[RVRKID]

Had a good rain come thru Arrowhead a few hours ago, now we are just listening to the thunder![emoji106]

 

[stephenkatsea]

Watched it coming from the SE for an hour before it hit. Light to moderate wind, no rain now on the south end of town.

Riverrock river in our front yard became a real river in the video my dad sent me. Blew some of the patio chairs over in the backyard as well.

This is supposed to only go on through tomorrow, Saturday should be good.

Scratch that, my weather report just updated. Saturday looks sketchy.

 

[crzy2bealive]

Looks like I'm spending the day on the beach watching the clouds and drinking

 

[RitcheyRch]

Wish we would get that in So Cal

 

[LuckyStrike]

Wish we would get that in So Cal

Watching this storm Hacking someone elses computer. Lovin Life in New River Today. LOL Guess who is back!!!! BS.

Take the boat out and stay in or close to the channel. We've been through several storms and when it gets crazy we just hang out in the channel and wait for the storm to go through.

Be careful though, your boat might get wet [emoji3]

 

[shintoooo]

 

[obnoxious001]

Talked to friends who boated up to Needles and got blasted by the storm, was just ready to go get their trailer and drive up and they called back and said it calmed down. Now getting some light rain in Parker after some stout winds a couple of hours ago.

What about hanging in the gorge for cover or pirates cove? I'm launching out of jack smiths that's why

 

[Joker]

Heading into havasu.

 

[1540RVRCREW]

I hope it clears up a bit by Saturday

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Desert Center was getting rocked about 10 mins ago for anyone heading out that way today.

Guess Islander got hit pretty good again..[emoji107]

 

[plaster dave]

I hit a flash flood on peerblossom hwy today and again on the 40. The truck and boat are fucked. [emoji107]🏻

I'm in your same shoes. Launching at JS on Saturday. Don't think I'll make the trip into Havi because of the weather. Probably stay at Pirates most of the day. Wondering if this is a safe bet...

Not looking forward to towing out tonight.

Always a hard decision to run the boat uncovered and get trashed, or to tow with the cover on and have to worry about the cover rubbing the crap out of the gel. Who has experience towing with one of these covers?

I don't think I would tow w that [emoji51] looks like in staying home for the weekend [emoji17]

The struggle is real

 

[BHC Vic]

I'm done making that tow. I'll either buy a custom tow cover which i really don't want to do for one tow home a year. Or I'll pay to have it wrapped. I forgot to get a quote for that though. I have a little knick in the gel after towing back to bhc last time. Needles to say I was pissed and although no one else has seen it it drives me crazy every time I see it

 

[UHHH SUCKA]

Well...looks like I'll sit this weekend out and wait till next! Not worth the $$ for me to drive out and have shitty weather. I could probably sit and drink all day but I can do that at home in the pool with better weather. I hope for the ones that do go and are out there the Weather makes a change for the better for you guys.

 

[scouter]

Yesterday on the Lower River, the clouds started rolling in around 6:30pm, and it looked like it was going to storm pretty good. We headed home from the bar about 8, expecting to get drenched. Not one drop. We sat on the patio watching an awesome lightening show to the southeast, but it never rained here.... It's looking great outside right now.... :thumbup:

 

[Sbarry]

I wouldn't tow 4hrs with that cover on. That's a lot of pressure on those straps. Worse case scenario is you will have to wash the boat tomorrow morning, if you hit rain on the 15/40, but you don't want that cover rubbing your gel on that long of a haul bud. Drive careful. My weather apps all show the deserts being overcast by 3-4pm, so monsoons are definitely a possibility through Saturday.

You're right... I'll just bring extra towels and cleaners. It's all good [emoji106]🏼 Thanks man

Same here!! Looks like I'll be working on my truck this weekend

If it's not a tow cover I wouldn't do it.

 

[Sbarry]

It's a "tow cover" but doesn't have the full inner liner. Just a few felt pieces on the hard corners and high points. I'll skip on covering it..
