What's yore cutoff?

[HB2Havasu]

I must be getting Old or Soft. (Probably both, lol)
Just cancelled our trip to the river this weekend with the predicted temperatures in Havasu.

Curious - What is yore cutoff for boating temperatures?

 

[Tremor Therapy]

About 10 years ago we schedule a week out there. First day 117, second day 116, midnight of the second day we went home. Anytime its getting close to 110 we just stay home.

We did the same.

 

[Familyties]

110 is my limit now

 

[Ace in the Hole]

We're staying in PHX, still going to be hot as balls here but I won't go out in the boat over 110 usually. Just not worth it, those are pool days if we are in Havasu.

 

[sintax]

Limit 110
Ideal 102

 

[Motoxxxloak]

125 would be my cutoff LOL. I work too hard and too much. If by some miracle I am able to get out and use my boat, nothing will stop me.

 

[stephenkatsea]

Living in LHC, at 115 it starts to get tough. Things just don't have time to cool down. Everything you touch is hot as hell. But, it's still better than 55 degree temps with wind in the winter.

 

[cofooter]

110'ish. I like 90-100.

 

[PaPaG]

125 outside, 55 degree water no worries...just dunk every 10 or 15 minutes, dry & repeat.

 

[RVR_RCN]

We avoid anything >109. Did a weekend last year @ 118-120 and was horrible! Love Sept/Oct boating.

 

[DaveH]

108 and crowds

 

[bilz]

But it's a dry heat.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

If we are out there on a trip 110 is my limit. If we were planning to go this weekend I would cancel the trip.

 

[25Elmn8r]

Wife planned a trip for us to come down mid-August. Hoping it's 110 or less. Been out when it was 120+ and it was absolutely miserable! But we'll probably be out no matter the temp, when you get one trip a year down from Idaho, you make the most of it!

 

[SW_GLASS]

110 is our limit especially with the little ones. We prefer 100-105.

 

[hallett21]

With the baby now like 100 lol. Adult trip? Send it.

 

[DWC]

110ish is the cutoff if we’re planning a trip. I’m pretty good 105 and below. It’s only tough on the trip back to the ramp and wiping down.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

We just get on the water a little earlier.

My limit is 2 boating rides where it feels like a hair dryer is blowing in my face.

I can handle the ride back in a washing machine that is also an oven, but I need that morning smooth run before the air temps get too hot.

 

[Bpracing1127]

118-120 is right at my limit but being there I would boat in 125 lol

 

[CommanderLee]

125 would be my cutoff LOL. I work too hard and too much. If by some miracle I am able to get out and use my boat, nothing will stop me.

I am with you. If I am lucky enough to have the time to boat, then I am going boating.

 

[Joker]

Renting a toon on Mohave tomorrow. As long as it’s not windy I’m fine with 120

 

[stephenkatsea]

We once boated and House boated Mead in 128, with almost no wind. Glass conditions for 4-5 days. It was hot, but do-able.

 

[Deckin Around]

One Havasu summer weekend in August it was 122+ and we had problems with almost the whole crew of 10+ and varied levels of near heat stroke. Coming back from the sandbar to windsor we couldnt drive for more than 10 min before everyone had to jump-in the water to cool off and re-wet towels. We were in our 20's so Im sure we had run out of non-alcoholic drinks hours earlier. My go to is dunking tshirts in the ice chest to cool people down. I remember my sandles melting on the asphalt as I walked around the gas pump at Videl Junction to the guy somehow selling snow cones. F that.
Its no fun over 115 moving in a boat. We swore August was going to be our forever OC beach month but now we have a house in Parker with misters on the patio where we can come and go from the AC so we go as much as possible no matter the weather.

 

[Mototrig]

River Karen's Place

If there's a river or lake to dunk in me and my tribe are good to go at 115-120

Now Glamis or Desert at 100°? I'm a Karen.
I'll still riding but I'm twatty

Edit:
I remember Needles 1997 or so 127°
Nobody went inside the house.

 

[hallett21]

Can’t remember the year but my dad and I jumped in the water. By the time we were in the front seats we were dry. I wanna say it was like 123 or something.

 

[MK1MOD0]

Yep, I’m right there with a bunch of you guys as well. 110 is the cutoff. Last Labor Day my wife wanted to go out, and it was in the high teens. I said I’m out! Ended up taking one of my sons and his wife.

 

[ltbaney1]

im supposed to be in Parker right now, looked at the weather and said nope. try to keep it under or right around 110°

 

[Badchoices03]

Pansies....we go hunting in Yuma in September...

 

[MK1MOD0]

Pansies....we go hunting in Yuma in September...

Now that’s a different story.......... I just have to stick it out, If it’s really smokin, we will go out later , an hour before sunset or so. Usually limit out anyhow.

 

[MR HARLEY]

110 is where I draw the line.

 

[Kachina26]

Never thought to have a cutoff.

 

[JFMFG]

Never had a cutoff. But 118 4th of July weekend was hot.

 

[69hondo]

Im good to the 120 range as long as we are in the water. I rember one yearin the 90s it hit 127 on Mohave and it was misserable. Nobody was out in the boats on the lake. everyone was just sittin in the water.

 

[whiteworks]

My cutoff is June-August. I have zero desire to be in anything over 90*

 

[Singleton]

116 is usually the limit.
That said, I am sitting in my trailer at the Islander (75 inside trailer 24/7). and will be boating Fri afternoon until Sunday night. 122+ is when the Islander starts having power issues (place is empty, so hoping that does not occur).
Trip was planned and I needed to inspect boat repair before I issue payment today.

 

[lbhsbz]

I stayed home this weekend because Parker is supposed to be 120/121 on Sat/Sun. While I don't mind sitting neck deep in the water all weekend with a beverage and straw if need be, I have a kid and my dad to keep entertained. Going more than about 30mph in a boat or on a jet ski at 120° feels like a torch blowing in my face. Fuck all that. I'll wait till next weekend when it's only 114° lol

 

[Englewood]

Wait, you guys cancel trips cause it's too hot?

 

[ltbaney1]

Wait, you guys cancel trips cause it's too hot?

before kids, no never happened. now that im a little older and have 2 kids under 5 to chase around and try to keep cool, yore damn right i have a cut off.

 

[mash on it]

1.5 units is getting sketchy, but doable if it's rising.
2 units minimum for launching at Lazy Harrys.

Squirt guns for a mister system.

Dan'l

 

[Riverfamlee]

I just told the wife its a bimini weekend. And I hate using the bimini but we'll be out there.

Running out of summer days to keep canceling

 

[Bigbore500r]

I don't have a limit, but I'm not loading a boat or washing it in that heat.
I'll hang out in the water or under a Bimini all day though

 

[Ladsm]

We live here so its definitely water up to your neck on the river or in the pool weather.

 

[Vib]

Umm yeah this is way too hot right now

 

[counterpart7]

No limit for us as long as it's not windy. I hate wind significantly more than the heat. Might have a cutoff when we have kids, but we'll probably start using the bimini instead lol.

 

[77charger]

112 at most with boat. If its
Hotter I’m riding My 550. We went like 6 years ago it got like 126 in needles was miserable in boat luckily I had my ski then I rode it rest of day.

 

[LuckyStrike]

Ive been on Mohave one summer with the wife 126 Blasting back to Kathrines was like a Blast Furnace

 

[boatnam2]

Use to be no cutoff, now that I'm older I'm fine staying at local beach July and august, place will still be there when it cools off.

 

[MK1MOD0]

Ive been on Mohave one summer with the wife 126 Blasting back to Kathrines was like a Blast Furnace

Yep. We had the same thing happen on the way back from Hoover Dam, going thru Black rock canyon. NOT enjoyable.

 

[C_J_J_C]

I had no limit twos ago and I took my family out on a 124 day......
My wife now says I have a 115 limit.
