I have been boating on Lake Havasu for over 40 years. I own a house here, but live in West Hills (Los Angeles area) and I am also in the air conditioning business. Most of what has been written is very accurate. I currently have a 27' boat and that is a good size boat for the lake. I had a 35' Fountain and sold it a couple of years ago. Although it was great on the lake there aren't any slips for a boat that size, so I had to pull it out of the water every night and that got old. One 4th of July I made the run from Parker dam to Davis dam, it took all day and was a blast. There are lots of places to go and lots of things to do. You can always find a quiet cove to anchor in and hang out no matter how crowded the lake gets.
I love it here and could live here, but my wife says no!
There are a lot of other things to do here, very active hot rod community, at least 3 active car clubs, lots of Jeep and 4 wheel drive stuff to do in the winter. It is kind of a heaven for a gear head. Nice air port and active aviation community too.
I fly back and forth (beats driving).
Come check it out, you won't be disappointed.

No boat yet. Waiting for a year or so til the kid can enjoy it.
Question is, have YOU found a boat yet?

Ha! I know...I was actually thinking you should've weighed in on this thread a long time ago with your experience living there and how you have found it a great experience.

Never lived there, just visited there once for 10 days. I also have some friends who live there. I am in the a/c business also and I spoke to a local guy about it. He tells me there is big demand for a/c repair people in the summer who want to work instead of play. If you are going to work a/c there, it looks like one would have to work on mobile homes/rv units, which a lot of us will not. One thing I found so cool about this place was the number of hot rods, dirt bikes, dune buggies etc. They are everywhere and I could not go anywhere without seeing a street rod or a performance cat. The number of people there in one small city with like minds to me was boggling. I did not like the restaurant selection nor the lack of potential nightlife activities year round. In the winter you are overrun with snowbirds and in the summer with spring breakers in pasties and thongs, which is not all bad. I am personally not that crazy about boating on a long narrow river. I like wide open space. IMHO
