    Bump!
    Oh come on, there must some boating in Albuquerque. I know the Rio Grande River runs down one side of town. How much water is there, I’m looking at job prospects, but how can I move to a place with no boating? :(

    Well, you've got Conchas Resevoir maybe 150 mi east, Elephant Butte Resevoir maybe 125 miles south. Or you could try sailing land yachts, that would probably be closer. :)

    Thanks Skippy,

    I guess the No Wake is perfect for my future e-boat.

    If you can't live without a wake:

    KAHOLEE #158: World's most landlocked Triton
    Kaholee belongs to Allen N. Hilburn (ahilburn@worldnet.att.net) of Albuquerque, New Mexico. "I sail on Elephant Butte Reservoir in New Mexico. The lake is about 13 miles long, and about three miles wide, not counting the upper part, which is north of what we call the narrows.

    Rio Grande Sail Club

    Thank goodness the Triton's construction is sturdy enough to withstand those rough Southwestern waters. :rolleyes:
