Lake Havasu
 

Anybody ever pull there boat out there from eastern states. Love to go there but without the boat would kill me. 35hr straight drive from my house near buffalo. Wow🤤😨. Probably not cost effective to have it brought out and fly there and back?? Anyone do it yet? And can you trust anyone else to do it. Just a thought

Would be awesome! Yet way too far for me....

I figured 1200-1300 for deisel fuel round trip. I also got a quote to rent a 23ft deck boat. That is 475 a day if rented for more than 3 days. It must be expensive to have a 40ft boat shipped out there. Don't know what that would cost.

I go to Havasu every year. I really do not see any Velocity's out there. Seen in the past 5 years maybe 6 or 7 in all 5 years combined.

Have to ask - I have not been to LOTO in years - but the last time I was out - I do not remember seeing any Velocity's there either.

Velocity was made in Florida. It has closed its doors. Florida is a long way from Arizona

are you from Eastern states and do you own a velocity?. If I do it it will be for at least a couple weeks.

From NY left in 1982 and still own a 2000 year model 280 Velocity currently. Had 3 boat dealerships up to the end of 2010. never seen Velocity come in for anything except 3 for service and I bought one of them almost 10 years ago. Very rare in Texas to even see a Velocity. Totally understand the east and west coast boats plus the areas they sell in. .. Just saying as to were I am coming from.

There are 3 on Lave Travis now. (2) 290sc's and a 41.. :)

I bought my boat from my dad and towed it from CA to FL. Took 3 days, only staying in a hotel one night, sleeping in the truck the other night. You'd probably pay $2/mi minimum to have someone tow the boat out there.

Havasu is an awesome lake and really the powerboating capital of the US, but it is a fairly small lake (~25mi) and will get small fast. If you wanted to go out there for a few weeks, I would try to hit up Lake Powell or Mead for a week, very scenic and huge lakes with a lot of places to go!

Lake Powell definitely looks awesome. Another place I would lake to visit

LH is nice but alot of bottle neck areas and deck boat capital of the world. I have never seen so many. Magic and sleek seem to be the most for the deck boat models on the water. Also lake Powell is alot nicer and better cool factor over LH.

Will bring this up - 1000 Islands is alot nicer than LH could ever be, Just IMO. Depending when you go, LH could be a frying pizza oven as well. But for me its the same here in Texas. Freakin Fryer.

Yup no doubt 1000 islands is definitely a favorite of mine I go every year

I boat on LH and yes it's a cool lake but I can't see why you'd drive form NY, that's a long trip and it's just a lake. If it was me the only reason is come out was for dessert Storm, run the lake go through the reserve to topock/ pirates cove then I'd pack it up and head to powel.

Powel is a awesome lake, it's huge, there is lots of sight seeing, destinations to visit, you can rent a house boat for a week lot two and explore the coves etc, you can tour the dam also.

​​​Most of thet westw coast Lakes are best in spring and fall otherwise it's 110*-120*+ depending on what month you're there.
