We are staying in Havasu for the poker run and plan to go out on Wednesday night in time for the festivities. Not sure where we will stay yet it depends on if we take the dog. We will be there until Monday. The boat ran well, still have warning buzzer at 5300 RPM but there are no codes that the computer is throwing right now. Will look into it a bit further at Havasu when we take Mario (So Cal Speed and Marine) out with us for another test run. Let us know where you are staying. Info about the poker run is posted on Lake Racer site. Keep in touch. We will certainly get together this trip!!

We are using a 24 pitch bravo. When we got the new computer Mario set the rev limiter at 5800. He will be out at the poker run and you can hook up with him as well. We are going to get the bravo labbed. We also ski with the boat, have a 19 revolution but have not run the boat with the revolution yet. We get slippage coming on to plane with the revolution but not the bravo. We have more hole shot now, and maybe able to go down to a 22 bravo for skiing. We will try skiing with the 24 to see what kinda pull we get before we do anything else. We are staying at the Islands Inn (on the island, the pink hotel!).

We want to go to the Sand Bar and will try to go on Friday. The lake will be pretty choppy on Friday. We do like to make a beach somewhere if we can. We are now planning on taking our girl too. thyought about leaving her at home, but she hates it when we leave her. We take her pretty much everywhere we go. She is just getting older and I think the trips are harder on her too. When are you going out and how long are you staying?? By the way we tried the marina you suggested and it is wonderful. Better than Needles or Golden
Shores.

I Will Be Leaving Friday Night And Coming Home On Sunday.i Know What You Mean About The Dog Mine Is A Puppy And Sometimes It Can Be Very Trying, She Even Jumped Out Of The Boat At The Sandbar And I Had To Go In After Her. So Im Not Sure If Im Going To Take Her With This Time Around. I Definitly Want To Watch The Big Boats On Saturday But If Its Blown Ou Like It Was Last Year Ill Probably Find A Nice Place Up River To Hang Out At( I Know Some Really Good Ones. Glad You Liked The Marina Sorry That They Started Charging Early This Year.

Don't know what our schedule will be on Saturday. We will have a doggy sitter come to the room for our girl for Friday and Saturday so we can enjoy on the boat. We will be at the Sand Bar but I am not sure what day. We may go to Havasu Springs for B-fast too. I will know better when we get there. We are meeting up with Mario (our mechanic) and one of our boating buddy's is going with us too. I will call you Friday night so we can meet up at some point. Look forward to getting together!!

Hi Brandon,
Was really great to see you at the shoot out. It was such a coincidence that you where right next to Mario. We will be heading to Laughlin for Mem Day, would actually to hang out a bit then. It was a bit busy and we did not have much chance to chat. We often run the river on busy lake weekends. Are you going out then?? John
