What exactly is a class IV flotation device. Is it just a throwable type?  We were on the river this weekend hanging out maybe a mile or two down river from AVI on AZ side.  we will be out next weekend as well from Jack Smith to Pirate Bar, Gorge and sand bar. should have four boats with us. Friend may come up from Havi with a 27' cat.

yes it is a throwable 

Its true thats what the cop said to

A buddy told me that they have been doing "safty checks" on random weekends for every boat passing through the gorge.

I plan on coming out havasu over labor weekend... new to jet boats... any one going out in water that weekend?

what shall i look out for?

 Looks like I am bringing two girls along 

Ill be there

Labor day might not be the best time to take your jet out on the lake unless you intend on running really early. If not plan on getting drunk in a cove or the channel. All the big dogs make the lake a mess. Dont plan on going to Parker, you have the same problem but in a smaller more confined area with few beaches to hang out at (good if you have a place on the river but not for day use) Then you have lower river beyond that. You are most likely to find most of the people on this sight down in that area, lots of fast jet boats filled with people who hate Havasu because god knows why........... I say we take havasu back, F the **** in big boats with huge payments, I will fight them all.

Any ways see you out there maybe, I have a blue sanger and my buddy has a yellow and black eliminator look for us if you want to get loose.

ya the square with two handles on it. if you dont have one get one. i dont see what the big deal is. you can throw a life jacket just as far but they want you to have one so you have to have one

Good idea Ray    What say you Brad

fwiw-
harbor freight sells anodized key ring whistles for 39 cents. I bought a handful and attached them to all my floatation devices/vests. Figure there out to be one somewhere on the boat if i get pulled over. Plus, you ever try to get someones attention by yelling in open water? A whistle is much better.

My SOCal Jet Boat towel or T short ready yet?

 

Well look for a shop called import autoworks Honda Acura      Looks like I am going to do it my own shop wish me luck .
Just a couple more hurdles and its on
