Topoc marina to Avi casino

[HALLETT BOY]

Has anyone ever made the run from the Topoc marina to the Avi casino ? I have a 24 ft boat
with an I/O and was wondering about the water depth ...props aren't cheap

[Havasu Hangin']

Yep...it's doable. Depending on the depth, I'd stay toward the AZ side...

I make that trip all the time...from Park Moabi up to the Avi..and even as far up-river as Laughlin...in a 26'. It's easy as long as you stay half-sober and watch the River...that's right, stay near the AZ side and you should be good. Have fun !

How long of a trip is that and are there gas docks on the way back?

We ran from London Bridge to the Avi and back last Sunday. No problem plenty of water.

How long of a trip is that and are there gas docks on the way back? 35-40 minutes...There is a gas dock at the AVI...and I'm pretty sure there is one at Needles Marina..
If the river is as low as it was last year I'd wait to about 12noon-1pm before I went up there with a prop..

sad thing is most of the rain is looking like it's gonna miss that place all togather. just i little windy.oh,well :cool:

It's an easy ride but you really have to watch the water. Especially past Needles.
Gas is at AVI and at Needles.
Have Fun its a great trip! :D

I have been thinking of doing a rappel off of the train bridge that spans the river right by the Topoc Marina, but I would need someone to be in the river below that would allow me to rappel right into their boat.....any takers??? -DD Out
