I'm sure I can make it out there that weekend in July. I don't do the camping thing so it will be a day trip.

I can't post pics yet. My boat is getting painted and seats are getting upholstery. The new color scheme is hot pink, metalic gun metal grey metallic green teal and the bubble will be the gun metal grey with light grey vinyl seats with hot pink tubing. So I'm sure you won't miss it. But I will post pics of the whole build once the paint and seats are done. I have pics from bare hull to building the motor. The motor is a 505ci strocker BBC.

Ya for sure. I have not met any from this site. No one has seen my boat yet either. I just finished it a month ago and was going to take it to AVI in August.

Hmmm maybe I will drag the boat over there some weekend. The lakes around here that I go to I have sheriff's doing DB test at the ramp and tell me sorry it's to loud, which I don't think it is. I do have custom shorty drag headers with 3" primarys going into 6" collectors. I guess it might be a little loud...lol.

I have never been there and I my live a hour and half away. I was always told that the water is nasty. My wife is from the bako area and she says they used to go there when she was a kid. How is the lake? Speed limit? Rangers going to bust my balls for boat being to loud?

I didn't threaten a single person did I??? I just know when boating a lot can go wrong and you would want help, so don't say it's a bit over the top.

Like I said before. Laughlin isn't the same anymore. I fly out there a few times a year thru Harrah s casino and tow the boat a few times a year and the last few years it's been dead. Havasu is still crazy and the sand bar but that's all down river.

« on: June 22, 2015, 11:06:40 AM »Staying in Laughlin isn't bad. There are many different options from there. I was in Laughlin a few weeks ago. We spent 1 day on the lake and 2 days on the river. Chose the river! Pirate cove is about an hr drive from Laughlin and is a great place to launch. If I remember correctly it's $15 for the day. You can also launch at Jack Smith in Needles which is a very nice facility. As far as hot spots you have Topock 66, Pirate cove, Lazy Harry's (which is near Big Bend and also another great spot to luanch the boat and close to Laughlin) If you stay at the AVI you are basically in the middle of everything and would be my choice to stay at. Nice casino great beach and that stretch of the river is one of my favorites. Have fun!
When you were in Laughlin did you see any boats besides the water taxi and a couple fishing boats? Most of what i sen was a lot of PWC

I was in Laughlin a couple weeks ago during memorial weekend and it was dead. I seen maybe 10 boats for the week I was there. I seen more boats on the river in needles. Laughlin is dead now a days. I would stay down towards AVI resort or pirates cove resort. Sorry to give you the bad news.

I'm a fairly new member to the site but not to the river or boating. I happened to be at AVI a few years ago with my 75 Rogers, wasn't sure what I had at the time until a few jet boat guys wanted to buy it from me on the spot. I didn't sell it but got stolen six months later from the coast. I went into a flattie for awhile now I just finished building and installing the motor in my 76 Hallett bubbkedeck. Make a long story short I will be there and it will be the first trip to the river matter of fact the boat hasn't seen any water yet. Maybe Sunday for a couple hours just to tune it under a load. I would love to stay at AVI but I can't pass up free suites at the Harrahs but I will be launching at AVI.
