The only places for fuel are Havasu Landing and the Marina next to the channel... It's been a couple years since I've fueled at Havasu Landing so you might want to call them to make sure they still offer this service...

do you mean you want to go from topoc to the london bridge canal? If that is so I guess it is about 15-18 miles.you can get gas at the marina there.Or you can get gas at havasu landing.

No the owner's an ass.
According to this chart (http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/pao/rvrmiles.pdf) its about 22 miles or so. The last time I was at Havasu Landing you could get gas on the water 24/7 with a credit card. A little pricey though. Trilpets eh? How do you all fit in the boat?

Triplets YUP.... The Misses sits in the bench seat with them, one on each side and one on her lap needless to say i am not flying when they are aboard but they love the sound of the motor which is a good thing :D
Yeah i remember leaving my boat in the marina at katherines and i paid a buck something out in bullhead and close to three bucks in the marina but you gotta do it i guess :notam:

I think it's 17 miles from Topoc marine to the bouys going into Havasu and about 5 miles to the bridge. That is only a guess. I don't us gps I just go by beers per mile :)

Havasu Landing has a great gas dock open 24hrs with credit card readers and they sell 87 and 92. Screw the Lake Havasu Marina guy.....

That's the best time to go. You might get a little beatup making that run on a weekend. I've done that run a few times in a Carrera 20' Eagle and oh man was it rough. :cry:

Curious...has Topock restored full service after the big torch-up it had a few weeks back? Haven't been back up there since.

The fire wasn't near the gas docks so they've been back open since after the fire.
