Make The Forum Great Again!



The Forum on SoCal Jet Boats have been around since 2006. There is over 16 years of information and knowledge that has been contributed by many members over the years to create this vast knowledge base of jet boat information. Since the conception of the SoCal Jet Boats Facebook Group, the forums have slowed down quite a bit even though there are still a handful of diehards holding out (we love you guys!), but we want to pump some life back into the forum with a Project Thread Contest!

While we are in the off season, let's get those projects going! Maybe your winter project is in full swing. Maybe you need some motivation to get your project going. Whether you're just swapping in new cables or you're doing a major renovation or upgrade, we want to see what you're up to and how you're doing it!

The Best Project Thread on the forum gets a $500 Gift Card redeemable in the SoCal Jet Boats Online Speed Shop!

Email notifications for PM's and post replies died some time in the past few months. I finally was able to look into it and get it fixed.

That being said, there is a ton of accounts pending activation. I will be re-sending activation emails here shortly which might bring an influx of new traffic here.

Let me know if you guys see any other bugs/issues.

Let's make the SCJB Forum Great Again!

This year's One Hot Summer Weekend event will be held in Back Bay near Laughlin Marina on August 27th, 2022. The Avi is still not allowing events. We hope to be able to return there again soon!

**REMINDER: The entire area within the Laughlin Marina is a no wake zone and is strictly enforced!

SoCal Jet Boats
'One Hot Summer Weekend' Event
Our Annual 'One Hot Summer Weekend' event is coming up this weekend! Since the Avi is still not permitting events due to COVID protocols, we will be hanging out once again up at Back Bay which is located in Laughlin Marina just north of Big Bend State Park.

We want to remind and reiterate  to everyone that the area in Laughlin Marina is a strictly enforced no wake zone. This area is a wildlife preserve and there is signs marking areas where there is no motorized boats allowed. All laws of the waterway are strictly enforced - including drinking and driving.

A map of where we will be in Back Bay can be found below.

Launch Ramp Information

Big Bend State Park: Launch Fee is $25 ($20 for NV Residents). It's been stated that they have been filling up and restricting access once full so if you are using this park to launch from, I suggest you get there early. If you get there before the attendant is in the booth, please be honorable and use the envelope to drop your launch fee at the booth.

Lazy Harrys: Launch is free, but parking is VERY limited. If the water level is low, you probably wont be able to exit the channel until the water level comes up. The restaurant still remains closed at this time for renovations.

Rotary Park: Launch fee is $25, ample parking.

Avi Resort & Casino: Launch is free for hotel guests. Also, the beach is still roped off from parking your boat on the beach. So if you launch there, be aware there is no where to comfortably park your boat while you go park your truck. They do not allow any boats at all to enter their cove.

Riverside Casino / Laughlin Public Ramp: Launch is free, decent ramp, but you are launching into current and dealing with the PWC traffic near the casinos.

Bayshore Inn: Launch is free for hotel guests. Launches right into back bay.

Laughlin Marina : There is a launch ramp at Laughlin Marina. A few people were able to launch there for our May event. I do not have any information at this time if they will allow anyone to launch there for this upcoming event.

***Be aware, like any section of the river, there are underwater hazards along this stretch of river. We are not responsible if you damage your boat hitting rock or sand bars, logs, etc. The water levels fluctuate on the river, so something that might be visible in the morning, might be just under the surface in the evening. If you are unfamiliar with the area, ask someone for advice or follow another experienced boater.

Water Release Schedule

Davis Dam Projected Water Release Schedule can be found here:
https://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/DavisParkerSchedules.pdf
This schedule is updated daily and only shows the next 5 days release schedule. The times are based on Mountain Standard Times and are subject to change at any time. Releases listed on the schedules are only estimates and can vary from the values listed. Boaters should exercise caution while navigating along the river.

I hope to make this event with the Baja. It's my first weekend in town. All these warnings about the law is giving me pause.

In all honesty, it's not that bad. You probably wont see a cop all weekend on this part of the river. I just have to put it out there to keep the knuckleheads in check. Looking forward to seeing you out there!
