Why is Lake Havasu so popular with big fast boats?

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?

Because the ocean is too scary for most offshore boat owners.

What about Powell or Mead?

I really don't know the answer to the question Grads, but it is not dock friendly for large boats either.

Open mouth, insert foot. You're sooo good at that.

Havasu is actually a pretty cool place to live and visit. Small town feel with a good sized lake and connecting river. How many cities or places can you live where you can go boating after work? Not many.

I'd be a little more cautious about what you call a shithole. I'm sure there are people out there who think your town is a shithole.

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

Havasu (the lake) is 100 times more scenic than Folsom (lake).

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

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.
