I did not hear that.....How did it happen??? (I talked to the owner on Friday and complemented him on the boat) He left it just like it was in your pic. Then the river dropped and it was high and dry. When I left on Saturday the water was not even close to it yet.

Did anybody take pictures of that? How was the gas leaking out?

[dossangers]

got to watch that river it goes up and down 10 feet! but thats pretty embarasing, hopefully nothing happened to the boat.

Hi Gofast,it was nice meeting you and Superdave.We made reservations for the same campsite next year,if it's ok for an outboard guy to come and watch the "fast boats".
wink :D wink
We got gassed pretty well by that boat,we were in the campsite right above it!!! argue cry
I hope the guy who owned the boat didn't get in trouble.
It took us 7 1/2 hours to get home,we stopped and helped a couple that had been camped at Needles Marina "reattatch" their awning on their motorhome.
See ya next year or maybe hook up sometime this summer...

That guys boat slowly floated as the water came up, dought that he had any damage. I'll be going out to Red Rock a few times this summer, gotta get the injectors dialed in for September. Maybe we hook up and I can convert ya into gettin a real boat!... :D :D
