Yup! There was a low spot in middle so went hard to right side to avoid it and hit BIG rocks. I guess I turned too early. :(
Water was plenty high south of the bridge.

My buddy is building a house about 3 miles no. of the bridge right on the water. I went to look at his house and hit also. Got my a$$ back to where I know the river. :(

LOL Im sorry man your right I should'nt kick a dog when he's down. In fact here is something you can laugh at me by. I was putting along the no wake zone here at Lake Suguaro. We wen't past sandy beach and on this rock to right had a DANGER sign saying don't go past this point. Well my Buzzed ass decides to flip off the sign and laugh and proceed forward. Not even 15 seconds later, KAPOW, SCRAPE, CRUNCH, AND GRIND. I did a huge no no and floored it about 2 miles of no wake zone to the docks just to make sure I didn't have any holes and sink. Its all fixed now and I tell ya I got off lucky, I hear alot of boats have done the same thing there and sank there boat.
Well there ya go something to laugh yourself to sleep with LOL

No way it will ever happen again "I HOPE". Your right about one thing it does make your ass pucker up real fast LOL. So I hope the damage wasn't to bad and won't hit the dollars with a knock out punch.
So do you ever go on the Parker Strip? If not Im sure I wll see your ride in Havasu and tie off to tip a few. It was nice chatting with someone with a sense of humor. Talk with you soon

Sounds great, I have a place in Big River we head up there about every two monts. I won't be able to make out on the water til Labor Day weekend. On 3-18-07 I was hit head on by a drunk driver and crushed both my feet. Among other things broken ( Broken femur, broke left arm, 4 vertibre). So I won't be able to walk until August 1st. So being wheelchair bound till then You will probably see me on here alot just to keep my minds off things. So deffinatley plan for Labor Day weekend to meet up and a BBQ at my place if you would like.
