Meeting some freinds at Parker this weekend. This will be my first time on the river with my boat. Where's the best place to launch a bigger boat on the AZ side. I'll be coming from Havasu.
Thanks

Personally I'd use the launch on old highway 95 in between the stoplight and Circle K. It's a very shallow angle and very wide.

Thanks for the tips. Where is old highway 95. Coming from Havasu, where do I turn. How far away are the keys? I'll be staying at the pad OCstoker is renting for the weekend.
I AGREE! ! IT'S ABOUT 1/4 MILE DOWN RIVER FROM MIKE MACKS!!! PERFECT FOR A BIGGER BOAT, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CASINO!! IT'S LIKE RIGHT OFF THE OLD 95. TAKE HWY 95 ALL THE WAY DOWN TOWARDS "PARKER", YOU'LL SEE A LIGHT RIGHT AFTER YOU GO UNDER SMALL OVER PASS. THE BAR "MOTTS LANDING" WILL BE ON THE CORNER!! TURN "RIGHT" YOU CANT MISS THE RAMP IT'S LIKE A 1/2 MILE UP THE ROAD. THE KEYS ARE ANOTHER MILE UP OLD 95 PASS THE RAMP . GEOFF

Joe & launched his 28' from that ramp- no worries. Also, pretty close to the keys....if you like that kind of place.

Ok this route will take you about a mile out of your way, but it will be easier towing that 34' and easier in terms of directions..
Take the 95 south out of Havasu. Continue on till you get to a stop light. At this point you have already gone passed the keys and you are south of them!
Hang a right at the stop light.
About 1 mile up the road on your left hand side you will see the launch ramp. Insert 34' Magic Here.
Take the trailer and truck across the street to drop off 34' trailer that's going to be a total pain in the ass in the keys.
After dropping off your trailer, Get back on the road heading North. You will see a Circle K on your right hand side. Please stop and pick up Beer and Ice. About 100 yds NORTH of the circle K on the left hand side you will see the entrance to the keys.
After you get the 34' Magic loaded with beer and ice drive out to the river. turn around, come back in the main entrance hang your second left and look for a 23' Red and White eliminator, and a 22' Nordic. Pick up a very appreciative River Dave and then enjoy your weekend!

WHAT HE SAID!!!
Thanks RD, I'll be sure to stop by. I wanna check out your system in the Nordic, and pick your brain a little as to what I should d to mine. I've got a shit load of stuff in my boat, 4 - 12 inch JL audio subs, 3 225 Rockford Fosgate amps, 6 JL audio 6x9's and a few 6 inch separtes. It sounds like shit. Can't get the sound to travel outside of the boat. If your sitting in the boat it sounds ok, but if you hanging on the sandbar, you can barely hear it. I'll be looking for suggestions. From what I hear about your boat, I want it to sound just like that.
Later
I look forward to seeing you out there!
