A Place to run Nitro or Gas Boat in Metro Vancouver Area?
Hello!
I just have moved to New Westminster ( a part of Metro Vancouever), British Columbia from Saskatchewan. I heard that in most places here RC Nitro or Gas powered boats and airplanes are '"PROHIBITED."
This is so frustrating. Does any one know any place to run a Nitro or Gas boat around here? I don't like electrinc boats. I have to find out a place to run nitro or gas. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, RCguy1411!
Thank you for your answer!
Which bridge do you mean in New Westminster? And how to access the place under the bridge? In the event of the engine stall, is it possible to retrieve with an inflateable boat or a kayak (This is the way I do for retrieving.) there (because the river flows...)?
Thank you again!

Deas island slough might be ok to run, other than that there is a place by the suurey docks with a small wharf. Let me know if you find anything else. I am new to boating and am currently build an AC Razor 45. give me a shout if you want to head out

RE: A Place to run Nitro or Gas Boat in Metro Vancouver Area?
I'm building an AC razor 45 gas mono and would love to here from people in the area that run gas boats. I know of a club in chilliwack and since i don't have a vehicle i wold be willing to spit the gas if anyone wants to make a day of it. The club usually runs on Sundays, but the lake is open everyday.
