After a long day of boating near parker dam, a trip up thru the channel and back, etc... I decided late night that I wanted to take a night run down thru parker. It was a full moon and you could see EVERYTHING. i put in at river island and headed all the way down to the casino and back. put the trailer into the water and proceeded to put the boat on... couldnt get it on and came up about 3 feet short. tried a different spot on the ramp, even worse. tried again and nope... even worse. in the hour that it took us to go there and back the water level had dropped about 3 feet according to the launch ramp line where it was wet. we were STUCK.
hopped back in the boat and went back down river to find another launch ramp. found buckskin and it had a fairly steep ramp. luckily i found park ranger who was SOOOO helpful in actually giving me a ride back to the truck while the wife held the boat. ended up getting it out after about 2 hours and by then it was 2am.
I was surprised how many boats were on the water that late. At around midnight most of the bars were packed and there mustve been at least 20-30 boats still on the water. However it was still PURE MIRROR GLASS. smoothness ive never felt before, it felt like i was driving on a cloud. i LOVED IT.
