New channel docks

[mjc]

I saw these being worked on in the channel today. They said they will go at least half way across the arch.

 

[Springfield]

Cool, restaurant parking!

 

[2Driver]

Thats fucked up

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

Blue chairs new deal, pretty cool

 

[The Prisoner]

Who planned that shit? must like bottlenecks?

Do you drive through the first arch?

 

[riverroyal]

Blue chair....he must know poeple.
Ha

That is the first full over water arch that will be blocked.

Let’s just hope they are 10’ wide, so boats can fit.
9’ wide docks with a 8.6 boat sucks

 

[Yellowboat]

I give it 2 weeks before some one hits it.


Thats not rdp two weeks, but actual 2 weeks. How that got approved is either fruad or the buddy system. No one could be that incompatent

 

[charred1]

What’s people’s beef with it? Looks like it will still be plenty wide, when compared to the gauntlet in the channel south of it.

Naturally! I am left handed.

Touché

Now, if they do dockside service, car hop style, with hot chicks...I have a new reason to go down to the channel

I saw pics of the LOTO fuel dock girls, just good business sense there.

 

[getreal]

Yep

 

[Headless hula]

I must be tired. Thought this thread was about pliers.

Thinking of gas station attendants from the past...Cooter...whole new meaning

I have to build me a real boat, and spend a couple weeks there. Aside from the fuel docks, the place looks cool.

 

[blefever]

This is really cool. Much better access to that Quaint Little English Village to buy a candle!

 

[Ziggy]

Heard about him getting these last summer when we ate there.
.
Doubt they'd obstruct passage any worse than the temporary docks they've been strapping to the London bridge hotel docks.

Definitely not California girls.

 

[Carlson-jet]

They should add a toll both just for fun.

 

[Ziggy]

I've never encountered anything resembling a traffic jam under the bridge.

 

[RodnJen]

One more reason to avoid the channel on weekends.

Hot chicks? This is Havasu we’re talking about right. If you line up all the chicks of Havasu, you’ll be lucky to have a full set of teeth between them. Although, you get the occasional Havasu 10...

Yes it does! I can't even fit my fenders at Topock, i end up putting them on one side, and padding the other side with a few well-hung life jackets. The boat is just wedged in there, no need for ropes lol

I was going to suggest KNIPEX. I love these things!

Topock modified the far docks (removed ever other extension). I go for breakfast so usually get an end tie or one of the front 4.
That was before they got destroyed in the flood.

Somebody go back and get a shit load of dimes!

people like to complain about anything. I myself excited to dock the boat and grab some food. Lol

 

[Tank]

What's the new restaurant that will be there? That will be cool for sure to guest dock up and roll up to eat and have a beer and chill and watch the sites. Is this the restaurant being put in by someone on city counsel or some shit?

First the docks at the Heat and now these. I think it's a great idea. I think they should do the dock extensions in front of LBR they use for special events and make them permanent.

 

[Dmangus]

It’s about time they added more docks. I’m excited for this

It's already there. It's called the Blue Chair. The owner used to run Kokomo and owns the cabana boats and Rubber Ducky boat tour business.

Blue Chair is the restaurant. Been open a year or so already.

Looking forward to docking, having dinner then a short night cruise in the boat around the island.

...and I miss the old channel, but there is no going back. Our hangout used to be on the island next to the bridge where the Heat is now. No wall, no hotel, no condo's. Plenty of beach for boats, and you could cruise your truck right down to the water with a cooler in the back.

 

[Tank]

Just googled it. Place looks BOMB! If the food is half as good as it looks in the pics I'm sure it is and will do amazing.

Agree, this is pretty damn cool! Hopefully the docs are wide enough for big cats.

Right? Frankly, I haven't beached a boat in the channel in YEARS!

Tank, beach down at Windsor. Beast beach and water is fresh.

Locals that talked to the foreman are saying these docks will be moving to replace the ones where the tour boats are.

yes the blue deck tour boats about 20 feet from where they are now.

 

[petie6464]

Probably planned by the same clowns in the city that are doing all the "Road narrowing" downtown and on the highway, smh.

[ClownRoyal]

Blue chairs new deal, pretty cool

His name is Dallas and yes he has his hands in everything down there.

Kokomos
Cabana Boats
Blue Chair
Rental Bikes
etc...

 

[mbrown2]

looks like shit...I could see making side tie docks that fit the shape of the sea wall but putting shit out there that extends into channel looks like an eye sore and takes away the from beauty...short term gains over long term aesthetics....

Read post #45.

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

I spoke with Dallas Friday night, hes a great guy and always has time to talk to customers. They ran a laser sight from the current LBR docks and the new ones they are putting in are not sticking out any further than those already are. So if the Blue Chair docks are in your way you would have already bounced off the LBR docks.
