we usually set up the trailer at the beginning of april. waters still a little chilly but there is no crowds. me and a friend of mine were talking about doing a martinez run this year, is there any hotels on the water down that way?

since we will have some new people coming out this weekend i guess id throw this together really quick.
from the top down
day park where u guys will launch
My park
rope swing, on AZ side just below the bridge
a cove/ beach everyone refers to as shell beach. alot of lost lake hardware hangs there.
i havent been down river all season so maybe someone else can confirm there still accessible and all good.
below this red spot theres lost lake, water wheel, ahaquinn, etc. id bring some gas if you go any further than the beach.

next map
Day park/dock restuarant
big river inn
nice sandy beach, when the water is all the way up you lose the beach
light blue spot above it, stay to the right of the river, its a long nasty rockbar.
Wally beach, i spend a ton of time there
island across from wally, alot of the big river rv park guys hang out here. the beach has alot of shells on it.

note: above the parker bridge, just below the dam there is a cove on the left hand side that can get pretty busy as well.

This winter I'll be rerigging the whole boat. I have been thinking alot lately about while it's bare, to flip it and strAighten the bottom. Would there be any point to do a setback in my little boat besides getting the hand hole out of the boat? I can do the work, so the cost doesn't matter. Left turns in the boat are sketchy. The boat stands on it's side and digs the bow rail in. Would this be from a hook? Right turns are flat and can take em fast. The lefts I thought were caused by weight distribution, but it always does it. The boat planes out faster than any boat I've seen or driven. So I'd like to get some input from the veterans here.

heres a lil peach i found and bought today. 1969 Schiada 16' 355 SBC 10:1 rv cam berk B-pump. all O.G. including the upholstery.The plans are to either throw some towels over the seats and use it this season, or see if i can get a deal and  re structure the seating configuration. carpet is high on the list. funds are low but shes a runner! the gel is in pretty damn fine condition since it is a 40 year old boat. the glass in the floor is gorgeous. has stainless tanks.
i do need to replace the cables though. i gotta figure out what model morse they are.
forgive my ignorance, but i have never seen a pump nozzle like the one i have. its got like some scoop deal where the fin normally goes. anyone shed some light on that? also i got a extra set of edelbrock exhaust with it.
