We regularly spend 10 days or so in Parker (La Paz County park) early
February. Amphi does GREAT on the river, we typically hang between "Venice"
and the State Park, with plenty of time at the Road Runner. It is great at
that time of the year, but the speed boats are few, that early. It would be
quite threatening in summertime!

Yeah...Blue Water is along the "Parker Strip." I've been on it several times
with my old picklefork Eliminator. Did you know that there is a system of
navigation lights for nighttime navigation of the Colorado between Parker
and Havasu. There are a few ramps up there but I'm afraid about the wakes an
Amphi would encounter from jet and fast outboards like my old one would be
disasterous. The river is narrow and the wakes can be really turbulent (and
high). We have several ramps here (near Yuma) onto lakes and then onto the
Colorado. There are hidden channels through the reeds that are really
majestic. They include Squaw Lake (CA side), and Martinez Lake about 30
miles NW of Yuma. There is also Senator's Wash on the CA side. It is a
man-made lake to regulate treaty water flows (for the Colorado) into Mexico.
In other words we have a lot of water rec areas. By the way, I am a
long-time member of the local car guy community and have inroads into stuff
like car shows. I am also the area's only economic reporter and have
contacts with the Chamber of Commerce. I've thought Yuma would be a great
place for an Amphi event due to its location between Phx, SoCal, and Tucson.
See http://www.yumastats.com . Too close to u-joints? I'll check again. The
car is currently at a shop downtown. - Thank you! - Paul

boots were 4" rubber tubing That sounds like a homemade replacement----they
should be kinda like two funnels touching at the big end---a bellows type
thingCigar man has a set for sale, but I think they are for European
cars,different than most of them but you may luck out----keep what you
haveand be looking for another set of original ones----I think what you have
may be too close to the U-joint as it goes up and down---- bumps, in and out
of the water, ect.The Colorado River was what I was thinking--or Lake Havasu
and up around Lake Parker I found this Indian casino while trying to get
back ontoI-10 from I-20BlueWater Resort and Casino - On the Colorado River -
