Did I mention LOW lake ?

[Todd969]

I like to "think" I know the route up river when the water is low. Well, I'm glad my wife said not today hunny. We stopped just in time. So this series of pictures will be self explanitory. We floated about 1/4 mile from the mouth and to say we were amazed would be an understatment.
When you approach a boat that clearly appears stuck as in beached, wouldn't you turn around?????
ENJOY.........................

You don't know me, so how could you say that
:confused: :confused:
1) I wasn't making fun of anybody, simply noting a fact.
2) I called Seatow to come out and help those people. 2 of which were very thankful.
3) I will go out of my way to help a boater if the condition permits.
4) People are people and YOU'LL NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE.
Thanks for your assesment of my pictures.
Have a super day:D

Making friends all over the place. You go gurl.:)

Nothing personal, maybe you should have posted this a public service announcement and not a poke fun of the tards thread. :D
Ps. hear is the smiley I forgot, :D and an extra one for good measure. :D

[All IN]

I love it --each to it's own.
Thanks for the pictures--glad it wasn't me----wish I was on the lake

[riverracerx]

Glad my boat only drafts 16" (when standing still) :D

[boatnam2]

I love it thanks for the pics nothing like seeing dumb asses not paying attention learn a lesson way better then seeing the hurt someone. from not paying attention.

[John.]

nice pics!

[Todd969]

I never used the word Dumbass, but I quickly remembered the moment a boat touches water many times the common sense stays in the tow vehicle.
I just didn't understand how someone could see a stuck boat and continue to drive less than 50' away and get themselves stuck also. Thankfully NOONE was injured that we know of. The ski boat pictured bent the shaft, the others were able to push out or get towed out and drive away.

I'm thinking I have to be runnning 80+ to be at 12" , BUT DAM ....if i'm wrong it's gonna hurt.....:eek:

[Mohave Vice]

Thanks for the Public Service Announcement Reminder. Almost been there and done that!! But not to this extreme.

[just another payment]

Happens all the time, its at times like that, I am glad I own a jetboat

[yopengo]

I went up to Topock on Sunday morning and it was very tricky heading up stream. Sea Tow was camped out about ½ mile from the mouth. Coming back it was much easier to see the line. Be very very careful….. :D

Nice tits. :p

[shueman]

Gotta be careful/aware out there...:eek: Would be nice to see WARNING SIGNS at the ramps maybe...:confused:

If you can't see the water is low when you launch then maybe you should stay on the trailer..:D
HERES YOUR SIGN:idea:

[Todd969]

I do know Sunday the Marina gate was warning people. I agree a bright flashing sign would be nice, but it will come back to that COMMON SENSE thing.

Let me quote myself! Even living here and boating as often as we do I still get spooked going up river. Fortunately I have "common sense" sitting next to me in the boat,car,truck, rhino etc...... I love my wife:D

[90mphRAGE]

I was down in Havasu & Parker this weekend too. I didn't even attempt the sandbar this weekend. I did run down to Parker & I had trouble finding a ramp that made it to the water. Drug my skeg down the ramp a bit (no damage) & moved to another ramp. I also stopped by Mead on the way home and I can't believe how low it is. Vegas ramp ends at my trailer wheels. Good news is that Powell has been on the rise.
As far as makin fun of others misfortune, it's been a favorite past time for me when it comes to the rentals. Even us experienced boaters have a story about mangling a prop or two. Unfortunately these days you only need a waverunner to F something up.
I'm gonna install a brushgard on the Nordic to take care of those pricks!

I read this thread as a Public Service Announcement! Thanks Todd :)

If you can make it past the mouth can you make it up to Bullhead with the current levels? (outboard with a jackplate)

I imagine you could if you know the river. Let us know how it works out if you do it.
