Guys, I live over 4 hrs from Martinez, I have one spot that I call, pay 650 to stay at, and it sleeps up to 6 couples, the sleeping arrangements for Martinez blow, but the river is the best!
in Yuma town, I have stayed at Holiday in, very nice spot! also the Microtel is a boat friendly spot too, I hear that its nice too.
I dont have any phone numbers, but Google is amazing when you need to find info about lodging a spot.

You sleep when your in Yuma. Them Yamans didnt let me sleep. :thumbsup

Used Google 1st :D Not much in Yuma. Just was wondering if you had better info since you be a Local n all:D

I did this last year too. I couldnt tell you were we stayed cause we drove all over Freaking Yuam town looking for the place. I know theres a Native New Yorker inside that the waitress was a bit uptight. Maybe it was me. Mayby not. But thats were we crashed. Not much for boat parking. I think Scotten stayed there too. Had a freaking nice CP. Blue n White maybe?.

Wish I could go! Some good peoples there.

Paul, are you staying in the Aframe?

If anyone is in the military or retired, there are accomodations on the river, RV spaces and bungalows thru MWR. My little brother has used the services and rental pontoon.

Congrats! Family friendly but still able to lay some numbers down. What Drive set up? Wacker or I/O

I have to say, The TRG Boat is prolly one of the nices hulls i've seen in person. Someone just picked up one Killer sled?

I dont think KMG offers his 22' with a jet package, I believe it would not work without major bottom modifications! I wouldnt mind knowing who has/had the one that ran down out of Martinez that was a jet???? anyone?

That is prolly the nicest 22 set up I've seen. The paint or gel shades are intense.

Todd, Tre and I should both have our open bows out if you decide to come out. I am looking at going the same direction as you. I can't wait to see that Bitz 21 out there.

No, thats a DCB and its an I.O. not a jet, this is the boat that got my wife all gummed up over! I think Kevin (KMG) painted it up though, he did alot of cool shit to this boat! the storage up in the sponson is really a nice attribute as well, along with the seating arrangement
I also saw another 22' (KMG) earlier this summer out at Martinez, I believe it had twin drags and was silver/orange? stunning boat!

Farmer John owes me a phone call BTW!

As much as I would like to have Kevin @ KMG paint anything of mine anytime this 22 was bought as a bare hull by Mark Brink of "Brink Designs".
Mark installed the sponson doors and did the full paint scheme and then let it set for several years never installing or completing it. I bought it as a bare hull, painted with trailer and had it rigged with all the goodies.
Works sweet with the outdrive but as a jet I think it would be a sled.

Todd ,
You might want to see what my nephew has done with a 21 Daytona, 1 sweet boat for the lower river.
He just cut it open, KMG is doing some glass work and paint on it, it'll be
tits!
See ya at the Power Tour!?

I would Like to head out for the day and film some boats.. If I wanted to just drive up.. Is this something that can be gotten to by car? Or do I need a boat? Etc.. Someone pm me the info if it's on the downlow for whatever reason.
