id say 3 miles up river its a short drive. if you run south just be cool cause the imperial county popos look for any reason to pull you over i have an inspection card from them that i keep since they pull me over most of the time.i will call you on friday afternoon or morning if you want to hook up and check out more of the river than the power tour

it always has shallow spots.its not your typical river where you drive up the middle hug the toolies and read the water and you will be fine.just given bri some chit and since he's never been i wanted to make sure my buddy isnt beached

oh all right.. haha

of course, i remember my friend's party decker outboard got lifted up from a really shallow sand bar.

those imperial county guys pull anyone over! btw, they dont need probably cause to stop you. it falls under the H&N code, because it is a federal waterway.

What was the Patrol like last year for the Yuma Power Tour weekend?

Just Electric · « **Reply #60 on:** October 04, 2010, 10:02:28 PM »

i didnt see a single police boat up river at all just one nearing sunset just below fischers plus last year wasnt as warm

I was planning on running the dry headers and no spark arrestor. Sounds like I need to change headers and if I need a spark arrestor i'll need a different scoop.

Ron,think about how many boats will be there and most of them will not be running wet headers or using spark arrestors (including myself)

They didn't have much of a presence last year during the power tour. ICSO and YCSO are usually pretty cool and the ones who complain and the ones getting in trouble for doing stupid things.

I asked them about running dry headers, and they didn't worry about that much or running without baffles.
But, for not having a flame arrester, they will cite you for.

Make sure your fire extinguishers are full and have all the required safety equipment. I saw a guy pay over $200 for not having a throwable device. Most infractions are hefty fines on the water. I pulled my f.e. out the other day and it was empty. $:-\$

Thanks for the warning

Marcsrollin · « **Reply #65 on:** October 05, 2010, 01:26:39 PM »

I have run dry headers , no baffles and no spark arrestor for years and have never been hasseled at all. I do have all my saftey equipment though.

I figured putting you in the backseat, would've let you alittle sore for the weekend. I even had the AC full blast for ya.

Reading about this is killin me. I was really hoping to have my boat done in time for this years event. Now I'm stuck selling everything. Freakin Governator!!!

okay, I know its my own fault for not budgeting better but I never thought I'd have a 15% pay cut this long. Then 3 kids moving in with us on top of that.

YumaJet · « **Reply #72 on:** October 07, 2010, 09:59:35 PM »

Work for the county, its not too bad on this side of the woods. I'll being going state next year, but I probably won't be affected. The governator doesn't care much for the CO's and it shows. Getting paid good money to babysit prisoners isn't his ideal of saving the state money I suppose.
