Had an awsome time Friday through monday, got my 10 hours on the TremorSunday. Started out sat a.m. launched from needles marina 7.a.m. down topac for BReakfast, met Dr Margarita and Rolln20's! Good to meet you guys! Then down to steamboat, back to channel for couple of hours! Saw " Never Forget" then up to Sandbar and met "Just teezn" nice boat by the way! all yall! After sanbar of the water at needles by 6p.m. and back to Laughlin to donate several hundred$$ to the Blackjack tables!
Sunday and today hit lake mojave, was great, quiet, and glass water about 30 miles up lake! Decided to let her go with Me and the MRs in the boat along with 3 friends in the following pics, so 5 on the boat a 152 qt cooler, and about 2/3 tank of gas! CHeck out the GPS, even with a dinged prop from last week at Elsinore.
Glad i brought the GPS along as the dash showed about 73 mph, Gps 70.2 mph! all in all great trip, until Friday when we do it all over again! ...Frenchie:D

TO be fair i went up with 3 hours on the boat and spent more time sat putting hours on it than we actually sat anywhere for! ALso just had that rush and impatience to cruise around with that little boy smile on my face, ...and oh yea DR Eagle, one of my buddies came out of the bar at Topac and said he hear you guys saying somthing on the lines of " Well that did not look like no gay guy from his pic!" or somthing of that nature. HEasked me what the hell you were talking about and i had to expl what an avatar and HB forums was!!;) :D

Congrats Frenchie on the successful river trip. Sounds like she's running great...
Most of the 25 Tremor's I've seen are delivered with a 23P Merc Revolution 4 four blade. Its a great and underrated prop
I think you have a few MPH left it your boat too. After breakin and messing a little with props, you should see perhaps 73 with the stock 496HO. I've GPS'd my Tremor at 72.8 in flat water and temps in the mid 80's. But that was with a labbed 24 Merc Bravo 1. My Rev-4 pulls about 71.6 on GPS in similar conditions.

I've been as far as willow beach (50 miles from Katherine's)
It is an awesome ride up through the canyon there.
If you're going up to the dam do it sunday....no power boats allowed north of willow beach on monday or tuesday.
and nothing over 65 hp until after memorial wkd, haven't been since so I haven't been past willow myself but here that the last few miles up there are worth the trip

BTW cottonwood is half-way to Willow.....
