Love that area of the river, growing up my folks had really close friends that had a place on the river outside of Blythe, the use to be a KOA campground on the California side just west of the 10 overpass , we spent a lot of time on the river and along side the river in dune buggies. Then as a teenager I had friend that his family had a house in Parker, it was in the keys so we did a lot of partying in that area, an yes I do miss it, I have not been there in years. Thanks for bringing back some really good memories.

[@SigTacOps19]

Same here. Used to stay in the Mayflower camping park in Blythe. Spent many years on the Colorado River between Blythe and Parker. Great memories.

Maybe not a modern hull but the Detroit River has a great historical racing history with crazy engined boats. "Detroit River Thunder" ~for googlefu "In 1932, Wood piloted Miss America X --powered by four supercharged Packard V-12 engines producing 6,400 hp, setting a waterspeed record that went unbroken for over thirty years." Worth looking up!

[@joecook3223]

I think they used to use them in unlimited hydro racing, alison engines probably more common though, i think everyone uses turbines these days though.

[@gullreefclub]

You know what BOAT stands for Bust Out Another Thousand but the first time I heard that was over 30 years ago so boat is now spelled with a silent F like this now BOAFT and now stands for Bust Out Another FiveThousand. The simple rule of thumb my old man told me is if you are going to own a boat have enough cash in your sock draw to buy another engine, transmission, drive, and or prop because sooner or later your going to blow one or all of them up and are either going to have to fix it or take it hard, rough, and covered with sand (if you know what I mean) when you try and sell it broke. 😁

Banks is a hater. He is ruining the diesel world with his EPA propaganda. I agree any engine can use more air, but with more air comes more fuel. EPA is making it impossible to get tuners these days. PowerDriven had the best programs, and now they are no longer allowed to sell.

[@jameseastwood4984]

Whether you approve or not the 'rolling coal' thing is drawing a lot of attention from people that support the EPA. The problem is when they start regulating, they're not going to stop at banning diesel smoke, it could go a whole lot further which is bad for everyone, gas and diesel. Personally I think the whole black smoke thing has had its day and needs to stop.

[@charliemiller4111]

My mother on the other hand, who thought the noise was ridiculous and that the boats should just slow down, never even allowed us to go look at the boats much less let us go for a ride on one.
