Just downloaded a map with river mile markers. Looks like it's 44 miles from the Hippie Hole to Martinez.Not to bad if your not deep in the throttle but definitely a risk ha ha.
New to jet boating. Looking to run down to Martinez for the day from Palo Verde. Any intel would be appreciatedIf your in a jet lots of fuel and watch for sand bars as normal. I know there is a stop or two on the way down think Walters u might be able to get fuel possibly few others, I have never sacked up and tryed it lol
How manu miles?
Fuel needed?
Hazards to look for?
Who has stayed at the cove in one of there park models ? Looking to for a place to stay for a weekendHave stayed in them and I like the ones on the left of the launch ramp, the one to the right is old and kinda tight think that one is f1. The others are great.

I've been up and down the river for two days now. McIntire Park up to the dam. I hooked up with some folks that know the river real well. Lucky for me because there is a lot of maneuvering back and forth to avoid sand bars. Hopefully today the river traffic will be lighter.U can learn the channel fast in lower water and able to see the sand bars better, it's stressful the first run or 2 but after that your golden. That's how I learned at 16 or 17 years old
I always worry about going down river. In the case the boat breaks, you can't float back to camp lolSmart man!!
I'd say you are around 4500 lbs. just a guess. Average trailer weight is around 800 to 1200 lbs.This seems about right to me.
Guessing with fuel and gear as well

First off, I did some searching first before posting. Didn't find much.626 379 2524 shoot me a text let's chop it up for a bit, been going to blythe for over 20 years
On to my obviously noobie question, what do y'all do to navigate over shallow areas going up river? Water level was up pretty good this past weekend so I went past the sandbar a bit and still went over some areas that looked sketchy to me. Obviously I avoid areas with buoys on submerged trees and ripples coming off of submerged rocks, and that rocky point sticking off of waterwheel but what about clear open areas that just open up to shallows?
Our family stays in Blythe and I'm getting a little bored of just going up to the sandbar and back. I've been up to the water tower a few times but that's about it. I'm lookin to burn some gas and do some good long floats downriver.
I bought it off of a local on Craigslist, he said he took it to lake Perris often . Sounds sweet I will let you know ahead of time if I will be able to make it since I'm having issues with my truck right now .Sounds good lmk

Hello everyone,Only thing I think may work is to epoxy up the old holes and use a toggle style so u don't keep putting holes in your floor.
Does anyone know a type of wood anchor inserts I can use to hold my battery tray. The screws holding my battery tray stripped out completely. It was fixed before the first time the screws stripped out by using bigger screws and it just strippped out again. Maybe some type of wood anchor inserts will fix this problem. Thanks in advance!
Thanks everyone! Is it worth it to upgrade or is the quadrajet a decent carb? My buddy that is much more knowledgeable about engines says to go grab a Edelbrock or Holley but from reading I've done it sounds like the quadrajets were used on a lot of applicationsI'd definitely get a holley 750 or even quick fuel makes a nice carb a lot of guys use.

Roughly 12k- 15kText me so I can send you the 3 or 4 nice open bow jet boats I found in that price range 626 379 2524
I'm particularly looking for a water ski that's 70-72". It's a big ski but I'm a big guy. I'm 6'5 235lbs.My buddy got a few when he bought his boat, he is in Parker this weekend so when he gets home I'll have him measure them out.
I'm also looking for tubes, ski ropes and life jackets. Basically anything you all are looking to sell for a family lake trip. Please PM me with anything you're wanting to get rid of that's fun for the lake! Thank you!

What's your budget ?
Damn thats to bad! Both of them are the ideal boat I would be looking for. The ones I have seen on craigslist don't match up to anything like yours. If you see something nice feel free to shoot them my way. Im ready to get rid of mine and pick one up.
Wanted some input on fuel filters I have a 93 commander with 454. I am running two canister Type fuel filter coming from each tank but it appears it's hard to prime each tank after the boat sits. I am thinking of eliminating those filters and run the hoses from each tank to my electronic valve. then after both hoses go into the valve they leave into one hose so that's where I run a small inline filter.That's how I have mine set up, from the tanks to the valve to inline fuel filter to water fuel separator to fuel pump. My filter is glass and has a changeable filter so u can see when it's time.

Is it the one with the bimini opened up?Neither boat are for sale I was just giving u a example and a picture to follow. I love my boat too much and she runs like a champ with the few motor upgrades I did this winter. Craigslist has a few nices ones for 14 to 16k tho
Can you send me the details.
Thanks
I may not be to familiar with the proper terms of what it is I'm looking for. Right now i have a 21' Southward that seats 4. The boat has just become to small and I'm looking for something I can spread out in a little better (open bow). Im not exactly sure if that means I'm looking for a day cruiser or a jet boat. I just like the jet vs a prop being that my go to spot is Avi and it better fits the water conditions. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.I have a 21 open bow jet and it has plenty of room for my family and all out stuff. I have had 8 people on the boat and it's been no problem.
Thanks Mike
Ok cool I'm guna hope for the best that I can find a place or I guess we're just sleeping in the truck lolHaha you got, next time we are heading out to blythe I'll let you know. We usually have 4 or 5 boats with us.
Good looking out!
