And another

[460 jus getn it]

Looks like you guys didnt have a problem launching. How deep is it where you guys were at? Is the the flats or sb cove?

[79centurion]

SB cove. No problems launching, but both trucks have 4x4. I had to drive in to where my front tires were barely in the water, but my blazer has a short wheelbase. My dad with his suburban didnt have to get his front tires wet.

i thought it was filled by the verde river:confused: :confused: ...i didn't think there was a dam upstream...i could be wrong

[Squirtcha?]

There's a damn dam alright. Horseshoe lake is above Bartlett and there's a dam there, but Horseshoe has been empty for the past couple years. Basically the gates are open and the water is not being held back at that point.
The problem is........if there's no snow in Flagstaff and surrounding areas, the Verde has minimal flow. It'll still be running and can fill the lake (slowly) just not like when there's a lot of runoff water. Then of course they're constantly letting water out of Bartlett too. If there's more draining out than there is running in, Ipso facto, the level's gonna drop.
Another factor is evaporation which can be pretty considerable in 115 degree heat and 15% humidity.
For example looking at the SRP daily water report (today)
The verde at tangle creek is 176 cu ft per second (water entering Bartlett)
The release water from Bartlett is 105 cu ft per second (water exiting Bartlett)
There's more coming in than going out, but not by much. We didn't get a lot of snow this year so I don't think we'll see it getting much fuller than 50-60 %. Just a guess though.

79...where the cheapest place to buy a steering wheel like that...thanks..

[79centurion]

Here http://www.speedproductseng.com/ They are a little slow(said 1 week, took 3, but gave me a discount for the delay, and didnt charge me any extra for the blue grips since that is all they had, which is what I wanted anyways. It was like $80 shipped to my door.

Of course...
still waiting on the headers that I'll probably never see. Last time I try and buy something off of somebody on the forum...:mad:

That blue picklefork looks an awful lot like a boat I ran against at Bartlett in 2002 or so, back when I had my 23 Cheetah. As I recall I had 5 people in the boat and we still did "ok"... :D

[79centurion]

I just got the boat last year, so I wouldnt have been me. I bought it from a guy who mostly took it to pleasant, but did take it to bartlett so you might have. It is a little quicker now with nitrous and some other little stuff.

[Brian]

If that's the same boat, it wasn't exactly a slug before!
:cool:

Who did you buy them from? So we all know who not to deal with:mad:

[79centurion]

Ryan that sucks. Hopefully he mans up and sends them to you. If not hopefully somebody lives close by to help "fix" the problem. Did you already pay for them? If so how did you pay?

Who is it. Is he from AZ?

[67weimann]

I sent him a check... no he's not in AZ and I'll give it a few more days before I start bagging on him. He had some things come up...

[460 jus getn it]

Is he at least staying in contact with you?
Things comming up is understandable, but if he is blowing you off thats another story.

[67weimann]

Just got a pm from him...says he'll ship them tomorrow. Hope to get them soon to get them on and plumbed since I'm going from logs to OT headers, I have to change things up... Got the motor back in the boat today so things are looking good...:D
