Just back from what has become our annual southwestern vac. Took a jet tour on the Colorado 30 miles down stream and back in Moab UT. Got a quick chance to talk to the Capt. He said we were running in a average of 1.5 ft and as shallow as 8 inches. Boat weights over 20000 lbs. powered by 3 turbo diesels we were cruising at 30 to 40 but he told me it can hit 65! Kid was good, he tossed the boat around like it was a little Tango or Exciter20161018_135528 (1).jpg 20161018_140232.jpg IMG_9681.JPG IMG_9690.JPG IMG_9687.JPG IMG_9693.JPG IMG_9686.JPG
