Looking at moving my boating to Big River and was wondering about storage too. I am paying $110 a month right now in Bullhead for a 24x12 private unit. The storage is nice and has gated security, boat wash area, free ice, showers, mangement living on sight to watch out for stuff. I am not really using most of the services except for washing my boat after the weekend and putting it away. Does anybody have any quotes on costs for storage for a single unit at Big River?

[Big Proppa]

I'm paying 75 for a 30' deep storage unit in big river - Dude you better call and get on the list now - they are hard to come by

[9er]

Bill, you going???

[Dogballs]

Anybody ever stay at the BR Inn? Is this place pretty sano? I don't want to have to tow over to the casino 12 beers deep and deal with the casino crud.

[Hot Rod Hallett]

Big Proppa, Where are you keeping your boat?

I haven't stayed there for years, but its the only place in BR. It used to be an alright motel. It is located just outside the gates to BR park and boat launch area. Check if you get free launch at the park when you stay there, that will save you $17.00 per day. Its easy to find, when you get off the highway on Rio Mesa just take it to the end and there is Big River Inn. Hope that helps.

We pay $125 for a 12x45 at Four Feathers in Big river.

[Cs19]

LGC, no Im out this weekend, I'm gonna lay low for a week or 2, I got torched out there last trip. I sunk my last cell phone that had your number in it, we gotta talk about Labor Day, you got any plans yet?
Dog, BR Inn is ok, its not the most dialed motel, but its close to the ramp and it works for a weekend.Motel 6 is pretty easy to get as well.

[Dogballs]

We'll check her out. Usually when I get off the water I am just looking for a place to demo anyways. :clover:

[Cs19]

DOG,Last time I saw you at the river after a day on the water, you were running around Bluewater with BBQ sauce all over from the food fight in the buffett.
:D

[Big Proppa]

I keep the spectra at the little storage by the bar - it might be big river storage.

[Dogballs]

CS, Dam it! I alway tell myself I am going to take it easy and have a nice day of relaxing boating and it always turns into and drunken debockle. Maybe I need to start packing my cooler full of energy drink instead of hard :220v: booze. Naah

[Big Proppa]

Dude the energy thing works great
2 beers
1 water
3 beers
1 rock star
Repeat as required until the sun goes down or you get the boat back on the trailer, which ever comes first.

We were out a few weeks ago...It's cheap and your right above the park. You won't get into the park free though.....Two day passes are $25.....it's free if you own land out there. ;) I think we paid like $60 a night....you can get late check out on Sunday until for 4pm for an additional $25.

Here's a pic from BR Inn over looking the park.....

LGC & Dogball... I'll be at Big River this weekend rollin in Friday night, site 34.
I'll be on the water Saturday by noon. Maybe we can make a trip to Shell Beach... If not, the Cove is always a good time!
Just look for the "Lie Detector"

[LGCDEVIL]

HB,found out you don't have to look for the lie detector, it'll find you :cry: . Probably be up at the cove (if that's where everybody hang out at FC3, up by the dam?). See ya there.

Well, I'll head up to the cove then and that's the place your talking about. If you get there before me, save me a spot and I'll have a cold one for ya!
Where are you guys staying?

[Dogballs]

Me, Greg, EO, Matt & Brad, 5 boats total are staying at the BR Inn. Only second time to BR and if its killer we are going to try and get spots for our trailers. :cool:
Hopefully this time I don't suck a pump full of rocks. Rookie Move!

Big River Inn sounds like it's going to go off...LOL!
Make sure you guys come on down to the camp and check it out. I'll be in site 34.
Don't worry about the rocks, all of the fast boats do that there first time out there! haha.... :squiggle: I should know!!!

Good Weekend....
dogball and LGC, good meeting up with you guys again... dogball, you and your woman are both cool people. You should try to make the CBBB trip in August. LGC, good seeing the N.P. out there running hard. Hope you guys liked BR to bring your trailers down. We need some new hitters up there.
Rivertard, good seeing you up there and your son is a great co-pilot "Go get Randy another beer" haha... Your boat is sounding good... and make sure you let Cyclone and I know when your going to host that special firework show at the AVI :rollside:
Wrightnow, the PlaceCraft looks sick on the water... Very nice and the colors look so great in the sun. You would think no one in the cove this weekend had never seen a boat like yours before because it seemed like everyone walked over to check it out. It was strange too. No big stereo (for that trip), no big motor, no half naked girls dancing on the boat or laying out on it... and still everyone came over to check it out.... :cool:
Wing-N-It (Lance and Debbie) it was a surprise to see you guys roll into the cover Saturday afternoon. As always, its very cool talking with the both of you since my earliest river memories began with you guys around.... Good times always and I'm sure I'll see you at the river more this summer...
Here is a photo of the cove on Saturday with Wrightnow's new PlaceCraft...

HBJ, my chick and I were a little crispy by saturday afternoon but had a great time at BR, place is mellow and I dig shell beach which is a perfect little putt. When I figure out how to post pics I will reply with some classics.

Glad you guys had a good time. I know we did. We didn't get off the water until 10pm and when we got to the trailer we passed out... woke up at 3:30am and figured it was too late to BBQ dinner... haha!
Before you post pics, email me a copy to preview to make sure I get approval for posting... Same goes for you LGC....
HBjet :D

[Taylorman]

Wow what a change for Wrightnow. Nice boat, awesome colors. Does it have the same engine as his CP?

[garret]

Looks like you guys had a good time that cove is pretty cool but nothing like our sand bar in Blythe though but wse understand that you guys couldnt handle our area all of the time.

[garret]

By the way CS this is my 33rd post.

[Cs19]

By the way CS this is my 33rd post.
Garrett, I dont give a fu*k.
Before you comment on BR, why dont you show up when its on? Most of us have been to low blythe, no big deal really. I really like the aha quin/lost lake/big river area myself, and dont give me this shit that there are no fast boats around. Ill bet a 30 pack youll get your ass handed to you all over the place on any given weekend.
I hear theres a few guys headed out the last weekend in July, come try your luck Garrett.

[sofa king smooth]

Be careful cs he has a blower! :jawdrop: Two words for Garret "Labor Day", two more "first round"! :lightsabe

[djdtpr]

Damn this is getting funny.I dont care where you go there are always fast boats and some that are faster than you.Looked like a cool weekend at BR.
Wrightnow the boat looke bitchen man great job.

[HBjet]

I would say it was a very low key weekend, but there was 2 blown 21' Daytona's, 1 19CP that runs over 100 and another 18CP that is on the bottle. As well as a 20' YoungBlood that's right at the 100 mark... Oh, and a Lost Lake hitter in a 18' Advantage (rogers copy) with a twin turbo small block. This was a mellow weekend for sure....
HBjet :D

[Cs19]

Ya looked low key from your pic, but nothing wrong with that, I like it that way. Sounds like you guys had fun HB. When is your next outing?

[Goodtime$]

HBjet...do you know what motor/pump combo was on that new Placecraft?
Just curious, i know they need some HP to make them move...thanks again
c u all out there this weekend, look for us below lost lake....cheers

[HBjet]

When is your next outing?
Well, I actually brought the boat home this weekend to change the oil, get some new plugs and just clean the freaking thing... haha... I might have a few other surprises, or I might not :hammerhea
As for my next trip, I think it's going to be the CBBB trip. It was so damn hot out there this last weekend. When are you heading out to CBBB? I'm thinking about rolling out Thursday night around 9ish.
As for the Placecraft, I believe it just has a 502 for now.

[LGCDEVIL]

HB,
What pics? Kidding. Will send anything tasty to you first so you can sort 'em out. I don't know how to post pic anyhow. Had a good time. You and your girl are good people. 10pm? That's awsome.

As Randy mentioned, it's powered by a carbed 502 factory deal and mated with a Legend pump.
