I am still learning when/where to go. The wake from those wake surfers will just about snap the boat in half if you hit it wrong. Camped at Billy Chinook last weekend and it was pretty amazing to get some evening runs in with no one out there and the sunset in the background.

That's pretty sweet you're so close to the river. Is there a launch ramp in Independence? I never been to that part of the river before

Never been involved with the forum stuff much, but seeing as how I am going to keep this boat for a while, I might as well join the club and get my reading glasses out. I am the fairly new owner of a 1979 Pioneer (Outlaw??). My dad bought the boat in 1981, sold it to a friend in the early 2000's and I bought it back last summer. Shes got a 454 with a Berkeley pump. Currently living outside of Salem, Oregon but my dad bought the boat in Cali back in the day. Pretty excited to read what all you guys are up to. If anyone knows much about the Pioneers I would be very interested to hear more about them. Seems like they're not too common.
