    Im making my first ever trip to Havasu on 10/13/06-10/17/06. Are there any hazards I should be aware of? Best place to launch? Nightlife off the lake? Who else will be there that weekend? :rollside:

    Have a great time. Your 24' should be ok at the marina. Nightlife? there's a couple places Red room, Kokomo's, Maddogs. We'll be out Saturday in this :sqeyes:

    Water will be low this weekend. I would reccomend launching at the North Ramp (do not use the South) at Windsor and staying in the middle. Either that or go south of town about 10 miles and Launch at Cattail. There are only two things to really watch out for once you are on the lake. Since the water is low be carefule in the back of coves. There are fish hotels down there. Just have someone be on the lookout and you will be fine. It's only an issue since the water is low. They are supposed to be made of PVC though so they shouldn't cause any damage if you do get unlucky. Other hazard is at the mouth of the river. You are new so do not try and go upriver this weekend. Sandbar and such can be fun but I guarantee you that you will soft ground your boat at the mouth of the river. I will be there this weekend. If you see a 24 Stealth on the lake and say dang I should have gotten that gelcoat (not that JW would repeat my color scheme for you) then that is me. Say hi and I'll tell you anything you want to know about the lake. It will be pulled by a lifted Yellow Chevy and I will be launching at Windsor North Ramp on Saturday probably between 7 and 8.

    Besides them being jerks at the Marina... I remember I think last year that when the water was low that Kilrtoy dinged his prop next to the buoy at the entrance to the Marina so if you do go this route then be careful. Windsor North Ramp will look scary low but you are fine if you launch in the middle and stay in the middle past the docks and then back out right toward the buoy line. I've seen Large Fountains and such do this with the water level low.
