is it possible to get one if it didnt come with one? 06 Mobius

ur boat come with a wakeplate?

Livingston is down only about 5" now. Wish I was out on the river today...instead, I'm home doing trailer maintenance.

Hurricanes...don't you just love 'em?

My impellers take suction through intakes on the bottom of my hull. All water drawn into the impellers also cycles to both engines to cool them. I can idle through shallow stuff but if I'm stirring up sediment, it can circulate into some pretty small lines going to the oil coolers and engine blocks. I've been in muck that never resulted in a clog but maybe I've been lucky. When we're talking river, I'm thinking muck on the bed. If it's a rocky bottom, that is less worrisome. Anyway, we'll check it out when the time comes.

The Trinity and the lake are joined so can you use the lake level to somewhat predict the depth at the entry to the river? The lake is down 0.7' today (see link). So, could one assume that the water at river entry is about 1.8' to 2.3' deep today?

Appreciate all the tips you've given on this place!

My draft is only 16" but I prefer to have 3' of water so that I don't suck sediment into my cooling system. I read where you're on a drillship in the GOM. Have spent 34 years of my life working in the GOM and all over the world. Be safe out there! Son and I talking about Bethy Creek as we speak so appreciate the heads up on the water level.

Actually I saw the photos/videos from the Texas Jam you all had at Bethy Creek earlier this year. That does look like a fantastic area. I have a son going to SHSU in Huntsville this year. I've already been talking to him about making a trip over to Bethy Creek this month to check it out. Mapquest says it's only 15 miles from Huntsville. Hopefully, we'll get over that way soon and get to experience the Trinity River, first hand! Also, want to check out his boat storage. If it's as nice as I think its going to be, I may just move the boat up north.

We do spend most of our water time at Somerville. There are a couple of good coves to play in there when the breezes are out of the south. It's not a fancy place for sure.

By the way, that's a great looking Mobius LSV you have.

I hear ya 500 miles is long with the boat in tow. Someone told me they heard it was going to Lake of the Ozarks. Where is Canyon lake? If I come to houston you know I will let you know....Like meeting people at hanging at the lake Boarding and having some beers. We have our place at Grand lake in OK, so if you come our way to our home in Ks or OK just hollar at me , we will hook up.Rick and Angie

I am going to Brostock , you should go to. I have to get my bac deck and transom repaired, so I got to get some cash too. I plan on getting out earlier this year. March is to cold up here, thinking mid April. My sister lives outside Houston have to make trip your way one of these days.

I have to get a dry suit so I can go longer. Me and some of the guys at work who have boats, see who can be first in and last out. Last year went to TableRock fishing in April and wakeboarded behind my buddies SeaNymph fishing boat. It was awsome, everyone thought we were nuts. May take the Moomba this year....Water was like 70 that day. Kansas gets colder sooner than you guys. Have you heard where Brostock is going to be yet? Rick
