I hope it works out for you. I think there maybe a gathering at Knights Landing over the 4th.
The next time you are in Chico stop by The Oasis Bar & Grill and tell the owner that GAMER said hello. He is an old Fraternity brother. Have a safe 4th.

Knights Landing is north of Sacramento on the Sac river. I have launched out of Verona Landing and cruised up river. It is a pretty nice cruise and there are some nice sandy beaches. If launching out of Verona while heading north make sure you stay left at the convergence of the Feather and Sac rivers. Check out Google Earth. I think there are some guys in Chico that run the Sac up above Hamilton City bridge on Hwy 32. I have some friends in Chico that boat out of Paradise near the Hwy 70 bridge. I wish I weren't so far a way. Check it out and get back to me.

Welcome! Sounds like you are already handy with a wrench so most of the problems you'll encounter will probably be a piece of cake! Jet boats are pretty simple as mechanical devises go, if you can rebuild your engine everything else is simple in comparison.
Tell us about Lake Oroville if you would.

Well thank you I have been around boats and motorcycles my whole life lol I built a couple Toyota rockcrawlers too but I had always have had a love and passion for jet boats lol and lake oroville is huge!! The dam is one of the largest man made damns in the world lol but it's a beautiful lake... It's packed a lot though it would be awesome to have a meet there huge parking you can go from oroville to paradise (another town) on the lake it's probaly 10 to 20miles I think lol
