    Lake Powell must see spots.

    The best case forcast from this site shows just under 25 ft below full pool next summer. Most probable is 75 ft low. That's a huge amount of water. https://www.usbr.gov/uc/water/crsp/studies/images/PowellElevations.png

    Running out of fuel

    Paddled and had the wind going in the right direction. Got the low fuel warning but only used 38gallons. I didn’t put much faith in the gauge, but I should have. Live and learn

    Running out of fuel

    Either I didn’t fill up all the way last time at the pump or my fuel used was off. End result was the same...engines sputtering to a stop a few hundred yards short of the pumps and the kids asking what just happened. Ended up putting in 54 gallons. Add this one to dumb ass blunders. At least I...

    About to buy an AR210 - any dealer installed options I should get?

    I'd ask for the always full wallet option. Or settle for the always full cooler. Good luck on either. And at least one extra tow rope since one WILL get sucked up this season. Congrats on the boat. Hope to see you on Lanier

    Lake Powell must see spots.

    What a disaster it would be to see one of the big dams fail.

    Lake Powell must see spots.

    Interesting bit on lake powell I didn't know. It's hard to imagine powell and mead at spillway levels anytime soon.

    One picture of your last outing.

    Went to the end of the lake at baldridge creek. Submerged forest and muddy water.

    That sucks.

    Be Prepared...I wasn't

    That would explain bringing one on a longer pull. I like the IR thermometer idea to see if a wheel is hotter and in need of attention.

    Be Prepared...I wasn't

    What is the reasoning on carrying a grease gun for tow trip?

    Foil Boarding - Loyal to the Foil

    Back foot just in front of the mast made the difference for me. I started out with it on the rear foam lip.

    My future's so bright I have to wear shades

    My uncle had a place in Ogdensburg. Had my first boating experience on that river. Have fun, like that even needs to be said.

    Missing gel coat.

    Replaced my rear handle today and found this chunk of gel coat missing, fiberglass showing thru. Can I just put some new epoxy on it? Or is there something more appropriate for this kind of problem?

    Considering a move to TN

    I lived in the Tri cities area a while ago and loved it. If you're into off roading, there are a ton of spots for that around Knoxville too.

    Surf foil rack/mount recommendation??

    https://www.onlyinboards.com/AccessoryShop/Products/Racks/Hydrofoil-Racks.aspx Found this, but no photo of it with a board in it. Pricey to say the least. Break out another thousand....
