Took the Solar 470 50 HP Tohatsu, up to Knik Glacier yesterday, river opened around 4-26 this year last year made trip 3-30!





Last year different boat Solar 420 25 HP Merc 3-30-19

Did ya see any penguins?

No but was not looking for them! You have open water in Delta yet?

Too much water. Flooded basements and washed out roads.
Of course the Delta Clearwater is open and so is the Tanana......boats are now headed up
the Goodpaster also. Lakes are still ice covered while waterfowl are gathering in the barley fields.
There's still a lot of water in hills and spruce.

Is Paxson open yet? I realize it is about a month early, but just checking.

Do you own both the 420 and the 470?

Cool pics Kurt!

Sold the Blue 420 last year and bought the 470 late last su mmer. Still have a 420 Vega with a 20 hp 2 stroke for fly in use. The Vega has smaller tubes and lighter than
the 420 Strella.

Thats stealing ideas from air boaters with that ramp. LOL

That was a cool jump. And unlike when we did stupid [bleep] with a prop you don't have to reach back and raise the motor while you are going over stuff at the same time...

Tonight quick run up Knik then up Matanuska
