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

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.

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..
last summer the water in that stretch was WAY higher after say 11am. eary morn to 3 pm some days made a six foot( o.k. maybe only five) difference in water level.sure do wish i was there now cry

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