Reply With QuoteWe have a group of friends that go to Turlock, many with very loud exhaust. No issues with sound. Usually only a few boats on the lake, even on a holiday weekend. Water is a little cold.

Has anybody gone to Turlock Lake recently, if so, are they still hot boat friendly? I have recently heard that they do allow open exhaust.
Many years ago that was the place to go for hot boats and sanctioned drag boat races.

Don't know if it is like this all the time but, the last time I camped there we were overrun by Farm workers in the campground. If you like Mariachi music, all night long, you'll be fine. Oh, and people walking through your campsite day and night.
If you have not been there, the campground is a couple of miles from the lake.
I only have been there once, though.
I was at Modesto last weekend, water was hella low. A few others with jet boats were packing it up to go to Turlock; they said it was nice lake and Header friendly. I may be going for the first time this weekend to check it out now that Modesto is a little to low for my taste. They said the main draw back at Turlock was No Beer allowed at the lake.
So is Modesto really a crater? I was thinking about towing down there this weekend . . . . .
I stopped by Modesto Res a few nights ago, the water is very low, I wouldn't run there. Looks like Turlock Lake or Woodward Res might be the place to go.
Is anyone going this weekend if so what day?

Thanks for the input.
I have been hearing conflicting stories about Turlock, some say it's a go while others say it's a no go.
I took a short trip to Turlock Lake last night to see the condition of the lake, the lake was full, didn't see any cops. Maybe as of late things have returned to the old days out there.
Has anybody else been there recently besides Rick with open exhaust?

Do you plan to go with open exhaust?
If you go this weekend, could you tell us how it went?
Yes , open exhaust but I will keep the baffles in the boat just in case .
I will let U know how it goes.
