We got a 1994 Baja Islander with a 115 Suzuki for $1,700. It runs with the ear muffs but we cant wait to get it in the water. Do any of you have suggestions for the closest place to launch a boat in Baton Rouge that's not the Mississippi? I want to run it wide open. Have any of y'all boated on Alligator Bayou?

DON'T take it there!
either false river, or tickfaw. you can launch on the intercoastal in port allen. it is good launch the usace maintains but some of the clientel can be a little sketchy.

I'm going to try the Blind River. It is only 35 minutes from the house. Thanks!

Is there a lot of traffic on there in case I need a tow?

Congrats.. take it to the port. You will be running upstream. If she blows you can at least drift down.

Congrats on the boat purchase; you just gave some guy one of the two happiest days of his life.

I took remedial maf at LSU, but dis boat sounds old. 35 minutes is close enough, call Wick if you have trouble.

Congratulations. I hope you enjoy it.

A holiday weekend is not a good time to test drive a new/used boat. If you have issues, you are screwed.
