Looks like a fun day on the river. Nice pics.

Looks great!

I'd be interested in going. I'm in Evansville, about 2 hours away and am always looking for a reason to take the ski somewhere. Shoot me a PM next time you plan on going.

How do you guys determine if the water is deep enough so you don't suck gravel in the pump? I live right on a river that looks about the same size as your river in those pic's, but I'm paranoid of my pump eating rocks or bashing submerged rocks on hull. I think it would be cool as heck flying around corners and so forth on a smaller river.

Well when we first started going to the river we didn't really know for sure how deep it was in certain parts and we just had to be very careful and examine the area before flying around the river but we sort of had a decent idea that it was deep enough because we have seen outboard boats go up and down the river before. But yea it is so much fun once you get to know the river a little better. We used to always go to the lake but here lately we've been having more fun on this river. More adventurous I guess.

Hey Jeremy,

You run any rivers around here yet? I am thinking the Rum River north of County Road 22 in Anoka County. It's got a decent sand DNR launch with plenty of parking.
