Near disaster... Exploring Lake Havasu In a 50 Year Old Jet Boat! This didn't go as planned..
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Things didn't go as planned on our big Lake Havasu river trip. It started out with an unexpected roadside disaster.. After getting settled in at Havasu State Park Campground, we had to spit time between getting our RV fixed and exploring the lake. What we did get to experience has us eager to return.
Stay tuned for episode 2 when we make our way down to the lower river as Hurricane Hillary moves in....

I found your channel by accident. I am in my late 60s and have been in a huge rut and just quit living, I am trying to turn over new leaf and get out and do shit. I am currently restoring a 85 Well craft Scarab I got the engine tore down and I am rebuilding it . I am putting a hot comp cam the boat has a four bolt main 350 with after market Vortec heads the heads are being finished up as we speak at the machine shop. You give me the push and motivation to get my boat together and out on the water. I have no freinds in this town but I am determined to get this boat done I have let it rot in the weeds since 2014 this year I pulled her out thanks for the push I needed it
Absolutely love to see my buddies Matt and Jeff’s old boat have a whole new life. It looks beautiful. Cool that you had the deck lid done at Shock Wave as the owner of Shock Wave grew up just literally right around the corner from Jeff’s Dad who owned the boat since the 70s. We all grew up together👍🏻👍🏻 The name of the boat was Four Play.

What a small world! His shop did an amazing job with the lid. I love to think that name might be painted under ours 😂 this boats going to be on the water providing good times for many years to come!
I had an old Sleekcraft when I was young. 455 Olds with a Jacuzzi pump. Had great fun at Havasu with that boat. Eventually upgraded to an Eliminator.
Love your videos! Inspirational, clean, and fun! I'll be In the garage tomorrow getting more done on the boat so I can get back on the lower river! Looking forward to EP 2. Desert life, River life, its the only way to live...❤ Love the boat man, great job fixing her up!

It turned out beautiful! They do awesome work. Makes me want to get the rest of the upholstery done to match how nice the lid came out.
Next time keep going up river, It gets even better! Just under the 40 Fwy turn to the right where Topock Restaurant is they have plenty of parking and a nice pool you can go in for free, dog friendly and great food.

We’d hoped to make it there. Had we not left a day prior to our plan.. guess we’ll have to look forward to experiencing the rest of it whenever we get back 🤙

Thats exactly what we do, head on up river for some lunch at Topock 66.
Such a perfect Dog. Wait? YOU were only running on 6 cylinders. WOW. Thanks for sharing some travel successes and failures. Also, some boat knowledge. Just the right balance. :)

He’s a Velcro dog that has to be part of everything lol
I live there and am familiar with all you see.. Permanent vacation. The attitude here is "we'll get to it in a week or so".. just life in the big H.

You almost made it to the beautiful part when you were going up river, Topock Gorge was around the bend.

Yeah, when we left that beach we cruised up around the corner and saw we stopped right before it. Lots of cool spots to anchor or beach the boat. I can see how busy it would be on a weekend. Can’t wait to get back.
Dude that jetty is clean
