I used to run my 1972 18' lavro drift boat with a motor well in side and a 9.9 rude from the I-5 launch to the first hole which we named the I-5 honey hole during the summer for summer run's back in the late 80's early 90's.We never hit any thing but the beach after a few cowboy cool aid's.We even caught some fish from time to time.Man that was fun.Good luck,

P.S. It would take us a half hour to get up there and around a half hour to pull plug's back down.
