They draw in water through the bottom and shoot it out the back at extremely high speed. It allows our boats to travel through 2-3 inches of water when on plane.<br /><br />I have a picture of mine but I don't think I can post it.<br /><br />Scares the life out of my wonderful wife!Catawissa Gazetteerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939761313614220536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-45220970417800988462015-09-09T18:36:24.094-05:002015-09-09T18:36:24.094-05:00That looks very idyllic.

We have a river here but people drive out of the lake up the river in motor boats and it's kind of dangerous to be out in mid river, you might get run over or cut up by the props. I like your river better.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-70556540259224281302015-09-09T13:24:49.086-05:002015-09-09T13:24:49.086-05:00You had a lovely weekend and weather for it, great...You had a lovely weekend and weather for it, great to get away from it all hope the weather stays kind for you for a few weeks more.

Most of the ones in Illinois are fairly muddy. I hear the fishing is usually better in Missouri too.<br /><br />I've been to Current River, Elephant Rock, Johnson's Shut-ins, and one particularly nice lake (or maybe a river or a river fed lake) in Potosi when I was a kid that was just incredibly clear. I wish I could remember that one. The youth group at my church in high school used to go to Camp Penuel for retreats all the time, and there are some nice lakes around there too that we swam in.Yahoobuckaroo's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621308885893253608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-80954927186284374352015-09-08T05:03:34.009-05:002015-09-08T05:03:34.009-05:00Fishing is normally good on the Meramec and prime ...Fishing is normally good on the Meramec and prime time now through October.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-87611441120897539552015-09-08T05:03:09.645-05:002015-09-08T05:03:09.645-05:00It's the Meramec river just outside of Pacific...It's the Meramec river just outside of Pacific MO. We have a lot of rivers here including the Missouri and Mississippi. The Meramec is the best one by us for fishing and water play. If you get down towards Meramec Caverns you will see a lot more canoes. We have the Big River here and several lakes and this is just on the Missouri side. We have boated on the Missouri, putting in at Washington, MO or Weldon Springs. Then we have the Ozark National Scenic River Ways which is a real attraction. The Current, Jacks Fork, Eleven Point (more rapids) and within easy driving distance. http://www.nps.gov/ozar/index.htm<br />Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-40376080362631035172015-09-07T22:40:00.068-05:002015-09-07T22:40:00.068-05:00I take it that's the Meramec?
