Victoria Canal
Regarding the three or so mile straight channel down on Victoria, a few years ago lots of weed lines on the center berm were poisoned. Can anyone tell me if there’s any semblance of a weed line on that berm nowadays? This channel has always been pretty popular with skiers and wakeboarders.

Re: Certified Evinrude Tech in the Stockton Sacramento area?
I think Paradise Point in Stockton may be a good option and if you’re willing to drive to Livermore, Boatmasters has been servicing my Evinrude for over twenty years. I suspect the wait is shorter at Paradise between those two.

A couple years ago the tilt on my 2000 175hp Evinrude crapped out. Boatmasters tried to install a repair kit and it didn’t work out. They didn’t charge me for the work and informed me that a new unit is $2k. They had a good used unit they sold me for $500 so far so good.
