How many people would typically be on the boat?

2 adults and 2 kids. The boys love to swim and also to explore. I
figure it would be cool to have a boat they could tube from. I have a
raft now that I take the boys out on and they love controlling the
raft (I never have to row). We'll go out on the lake and they'll jump
out and swim. I'm sure my oldest (12) would blow a brain fuse out of
excitement if he got to touch the steering wheel of the boat while it
was moving.

Folsom often has large changes in water level and plenty of underwater
obstructions including an old overpass. Definitely get a deptfinder/
GPS combo for the boat. I believe hotmaps has the contours of the
reservoir mapped on a chip available for at least Lowrance and Eagle
units. Also a must have.

Keep an eye on the water level here...

(most of the states large reservoirs are also on that site)
