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

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.

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.

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!
