Why is Lake Havasu so popular with big fast boats?

[Ziggy]

I don't get it. You see some of the fastest biggest boats in the western United States in Havasu....why? I hear the town itself is a shithole....there are nicer bodies of water....if a boater wants to stretch their legs there are better places. Is it because of spring break?

You can find a shithole anywhere you look. The city has its issues like any other town.

Waves are too big. They even cancelled desert storm last year due to a 2 foot swell.

That just may be the appeal, that it doesn't get blown out as much as the other up river lakes along the Colorado. It is the only lake with a city at its banks, which in turns allows for a shit load of hey lam.
