thanks everyone. i did have and awsome time except for the wind. the overflow doesnt seem steep and probably isnt but it sure looks like it in real life and makes me pucker a little bit lol. an f350 king ranch pulls the boat does and awsome job. gotta love the fords. o and before anyone says anything, yes the boat is a 280 sunsport which is 28 feet but the 30 foot i mensiond is the swim platform i included in the size. Thanks again for the comps.

well actually its a little of both. drought and giving water back. the water is actually going back up 3-4 inches a day, we got a ton of snow this year. its the rio grand and runs to el paso. i guess we cant just stop up the water for ourselves huh. lol.
