    All good until you meet another boat coming towards you on that stream!
    There’s going to be carnage on that stream one day soon!

      It’s generally pretty good, not many people tend to head up there, due to the shallowness of the river, you can get a gauge on if anyone’s up there, if there’s trailers at the boat ramp

      There’s actually a lot of local boaters boating it! We as a group down there are trying to work out a way to notify boaters if anyone’s up there whether it’s a board at the ramp or hang a life jacket or flag system at lagoon end! You can’t gauge it by boat trailers as a lot boat main stream

      Yup always invited, I do leave her at home sometimes she’s 99% good on the boat, she loves it most of the time

    It's all good until your pump sucks up a rock blows the impeller

      They can handle a fair amount, pumped plently of shingle through it, it’s not a JetSki pump

      Even a jet ski pump can handle heaps, I’ve pumped plenty of stones through mine
