Av-gas near Echo?

[Craig]

Anyone know if Av-gas is available anywhere around Echo Bay or even in Henderson? I'm coming up with two full tanks anyway, but it's always good to know what's available Â*http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

How about the law around where we'll be boating? Noise, speed or any other typical hassles we should look out for?

Looking forward to hitting the road tomorrow Â*http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Huh, N Las Vegas airport. I use to buy it there. No place near the lake though, unless you go to Havasu.

I've seen the assholes....and never go to callville for that reason.

I got noise hassled at lake mead marina, but going for it again this time.

I just like that marina compared to the others. Easy in/out off the highway. Nice boat ride to the beach from there.
Decent ramp, etc

Who know's, if I get to the point I have to rebuild, I'll worry about it then! For now, I just want to get to Henderson without tearing up a bunch of tires!

Craig, how many bottles of "liquid horsepower" would we need to add to bring the octane up?? http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I have 2 bottles, probably won't cut it http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I would think you'll be o.k. with 70 gallons according to the map and mileage. Well, unless we're doin' 100+ everywhere we go! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

O.K., maybe we need to find av-gas close to Echo! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[digginfordollars]

Overton has an airport http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/ohboy.gif Don't know if they have av gas but I will ask my buddy who lives there tomorrow when I talk to him. It would be alot of five gallon cans to the dock though.

[Craig]

Yeah, 70 gallons should do it, hell most of the time we'll be cruisin' follow folks so we know where the heck we're going http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif I might bring that 31 Hydromotive "just in case" we get some decent water and can dump the dead weight on the beach http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[Essex502]

The thing you have to be careful about is that AV gas is not the same formulation as gasoline built for automotive purposes. It does not have the same additive packages as regular gasoline. It is formulated for high altitude use and has significantly more Tetra-ethyl lead than unleaded pump gasoline made for automotive use.

AV gas is rated differently than automotive gasoline. The 100LL AV gas which seems to be the most widely distributed, is near 100 octane rating for automotive gasolines.

If yall are going to be prop testing and wrestling the final beach will be perfect for that.

Pretty beach.

[dicudmore]

looks great Ken....
guess I'll be following someone there.

[Red Horse]

I like to explore. This particular beach has been good to me for about 3 years. At the end of the season we always say that it wont be here next year and it just gets better. In this picture, see where the rocks are? I remember when the water was about half way up the vertical part of the rocks. Memorial day 2001.

[Powell Runner]

You can pick up Av-gas at the Boulder City airport...look for a small "boat fuel" sign to the east of the terminal, near a big hanger...they pump from a fuel truck that will most likely be right there next to the fence. The Rebel in B.C. also has the 100 octane fuel.
