Site 6 is a decent choice, just not on a weekend or busy time. Week days would be best.

Stay close to site 6 until you are sure of the boat.

Remember power steering-
No power, no steering.

Hope all goes well.

The boat is a 19’ CP. but yes agree river would be harder to navigate just if there are better/safer spots on the river? Especially launching/loading? I’ll be there for a week so I’ll wait till week day to go for a spin.

Make sure you have 4wd out of site six because the ramp sucks ass. I was out there today, and will be out there tomorrow afternoon around 2:30 if you need any help

Post by: Customguru on March 22, 2020, 10:08:14 PM: I’ll be there March 29th - April 4. Pirates sounds cool. I’ve always wanted to see that place anyway. The closer to the lake the better me and my buddies will be leaving our families in Havasu so don’t wanna get tooo far out there. Thanks everyone fo the advice. How do you post pictures? It’s for real😃🚤 and I’m stoked!
