desert storm
 

who's going?? im going down without my boat(riding with a friend) to check it out for the first time. who else is going?? i hope to meet some of the people on here when im down there.:evilb:

I will be down there, but also with out my boat. Counting down the days now!!!

Im going HOTROD... I can't wait, and I hope the weather is warmer this year,,,, w/o any rain.... Can't wait too see and the beautiful boats/trucks on the blvd thurs nite......

Also too,, last year all the boats that were at the street party lined up in front of the nautical inn at 10am,, so I got there around 9am and was able to take all the pics I wanted w/o any people in them.... hard to do at the street party,, too many people....so if u wanna drive over there in the morning, thats pretty fun....:drink:

Have a safe trip from CO....

That sounds pretty shady, snooping around....

Pat, are u going?

I'm 2500+ miles away...my engines are out and I have offers on my boat, no I'm not going....

I don't really do the west coast runs, it's too far to drag...plus I don't have time...

Ya, i understand... its a very long way to tow...especially for just a 3 day event... I don't blame you...... i was suprised last year on the FL guys that drove all the way out here......

are u gonna buy another OL when your's sells?

I'm thinkin' about a few things...we'll see what happens.

Someone's going to get a great boat, I'm just looking in a few different directions.

sounds good... I really like that 48 OL cat on pier57s site... that is such a beautiful boat.... would u ever consider something like that?

I'm considering allot of things, but dont want to start another boat until this one is gone, I've learned in the past it's generally a bad idea.... :)

I'm presuming you mean justice, johnny o's old boat, beautiful...

We'll see what happens..

I think so Pat... its the green/sliver 48 w/ 1200 Merc's

:coolcowboy:

Yep, that's his.

Hey sidenote, glad to hear your father is doing well!

Hey thanks Pat..!! Ya, so far he's been doing great.... They have a great heart specialist in Havasu,, Dr. Kwon ....Still recovering,, but up and walking and taking things slow...

Ya, that 48 OL is just goregous looking,,, Im shocked he wasn't happy w/ it... But an OSO member told me he wanted a smaller MTI.... i guess

That's great, on a side note...

It's saying things like that, you're shocked he wasn't happy with it, he was very happy with the boat, he just wanted something smaller...be careful how you phrase things..

Ok Sorry Pat,, I will..... Its such a pretty 48.....But i'll watch what I say...!

we signed up online today and booked rooms

Where were you able to find rooms this late? I ended up with the last few rooms at the Days Inn and that was a month ago!

All of the resorts I called were booked out..

As it gets closer, some people will drop and cancel their rooms.

We'll Be there! Look forward to seeing everyone!

I just canceled my rooms at the Heat , we are in fla picking up our new boat !, it would have been too much driving

Justice has 1075's...

I've been throwing the idea around of some Green Merc 700's instead of them and having one hell of a boat that would run like crazy with little to worry about...

List...
 

Oh and HOTROD heres the link to who's going so far...

Congrats on the new boat, look forward to seeing it at Ft. Myers run sometime.

Just hope there will be no wind.Should be a great time.

Where can I drop in at? Bringing a Tiger and need a good ramp.

I've always been curious about that. I hear it can get sketchy in spots. I reconed the area last year and decided Laughlin was to shallow/scary for me. I've been told that boaters in the Laughlin area often use the tide (dam release) to time their boat outing. Have you run all the way to Laughlin?
Not hijacking, I'll be in Laughlin too, looking for day trips.

I wouldn't try it if I were you, there are some really shallow areas up river. A couple of years ago I was boating up near Laughlin and banged my prop up on some rocks. After that when I go to Laughlin I just go to lake Mohave or drive down to Jack Smith and launch there to run down river.

Two years ago I took my Fountain from Lake Havasu Cat Tail Cove all the way up to Davis Dam and back. It was a fun run, but the water was unusually high, I wouldn't try it if the water wasn't way up, also helps to know the river, there are some areas that you can get in trouble if not familiar. It is a pretty easy run from Havasu up to Needles, only dicey area is just at the top of the lake where there are sand bars, once past that no problem.

x2. where is the best ramp to drop in??

Are you going to be in Havasu City. If so the Windsor ramp is good, on the North ramp be careful there are some shallow spots, but they are marked with bouys. Also the Marina is good, but they charge about $10 or $15 and late in the day they may be full in the parking lot. If you want to go south of town (toward Parker) the Cat Tail Cove launch ramp is one of the best kept secrets of Lake Havasu. Nice ramp, really nice rangers, they will give you a ride to the upper parking lot in a golf cart and you can park there. It is a 10 or 20 minute boat ride to the North to get to Havasu City from there.
I would avoid the Site 6 ramp on the island if your boat is 25' or more, although it is free there is a hump in the ramp and some longer trailers get hung up on the hump.
Have fun.
