Damm, I can remember launching at Putah when the water was a few hundred feet from the bottom end of the pavement of that ramp. We used the ramp as the parking lot!
norcal it all depends where you are coming from, Putah always has a bunch of flats and jets and they tend to leave their trailers on the ramp which is hard for us to launch the bigger boats. The group will probably stay at spanish flat or whatever is across from there , I forgot. Im in sac so i usually launch from pleasure cove cuzz its the closest to me . I will keep ya posted. I also think don pedro is the sight for memorial day if your ready. Look forward to seeing your ride.

Not much planed yet for May except Memorial Day at Shasta so plan it and I will try to get down its not that far a drive looks like 6-7 hrs for me ,thats a piece of cake compared to Havasu or Parker,wheres the good motels close by ,im not a very good camper,I like aircond,soft bed,hot meals,no washing dishes,no bugs !!!!! etc .. I sure am picky huh !!!
So were talking May 15 thats the weekend after mothers day ,looks good to me !!!! ((The Berryessa Boat Bash)) sponcered by Blown Carrera & Robbie Racer !!!!!!!!

I doubt Blown472 will be at Berryessa anytime soon, as he lives about 2000 miles away and is literally surrounded by lakes where he lives. (Gotta get him out here this summer, though
The two widest ramps I am aware of are at Spanish Flat Resort and Putah Creek Resort. Spanish Flat puts your boat into a tiny cove that you can manuever out of with a 29-footer, whereas Putah Creek puts you into open water.
As far as getting there--with a 29-footer--avoid taking Susiun Valley Road from highway 80, as the right-hander onto Hwy 121 will be impossible with your rig (Jetboat/V-drive guys: no problem for y'all). Might want to try taking 121 in from Napa, etc to Berryessa, BUT drive this road w/o boat first to be sure. Otherwise, you'll have to come in from the east side via Hwy 128 from Winters, CA.
I will probably be there again next mid-week...beer in hand.

Geez RIM, now your worried about apples to apples, and same class, I never heard a guy speak so many languages as you, just bring it and run it, isnt that what you say?? or should I just say ok lets take all the 500 hp and below and thats my class for the real grocery getters? how many trophies you makin anyways?? see ya there
LakesOnly, Thanks for the info. I think I remember the big switch back like going to Emerald Bay in Tahoe. I will take a dry run before towing the road! What are you running? You frequent Berryessa?
