Got to thinking about it ice been up that river 8 different times in 5 different boats I've owned and get this over a period of 55 years I was 25 the first time I did it and the last time was about 8 months ago never get tired of it great little river
That’s a nice boat ride . Your new to you boat is turning out great ! Think you could do a campsite security video ? Things like do you leave lights on all night , do you put away your stove and supplies at night , obviously you carry , do you prefer camping in groups? Stuff like that , unfortunately you have to consider security this day and age . We camp in central fl and since it’s finally getting cooler its time to enjoy it more over a good fire 👍🏻
Only 76 days away! It was I who yelled “Florida overland” from the banks of silver river as Kevin and his lady rode past. Great seeing y’all out there only wish I had thought of something smarter to say ! Haha
Haha, I’m a little a head in the pending videos lol. We were going to turn around and hangout for a little bit, but we left the dog at home in the crate so we were headed back. The water looked so inviting as it was hot as crap outside lol. We are doing the Ocklawaha river next. In 3 sections.
Were y’all out near highland fish camp (just north of Deland) about 2 weeks ago in a rainstorm? I was in a Jon Boat south bound with my son and thought I saw y’all.
I kayaked the River a couple of years ago, saw tons of monkeys. I heard that the state was looking at removing them. I’d be a shame if they aren’t there anymore.

It’s a beautiful river for sure. There’s so much different wildlife.
Such beautiful spring river , thank you sir ! 🙂
You’re welcome. I hope it stays that way for many more generations to come.
love the boat setup!
Thank you, it’s changed even more since this video was made.
You going to Hydro Turf the boat? Make it much cooler in that summer sun on the feet and hands.
Probably not, it costs too much for the nice stuff and the Amazon stuff is too cheap.

Thanks, it’s a great boat ride. I can do a video regarding campsite safety.

Such a nice place!
Very relaxing 😊
It really is. I love being on the water.
Need a rtt for the boat. 😂
Stand by.
nice new boat Kevin!
Thank you.
You look like you have a jackplate… do you think a normal tin bass boat (we have a tracker) would make it in without weeding up the prop?
You wouldn’t have a problem there. Some of the river is 25 feet or deeper. Grass isn’t an issue.
Great Videos!! I have a 20' flats boat w a 200. Any problem getting to all the way to Silver Springs on the river in my boat?
Thanks, your boat would be fine. Most parts of the river are 15, 20 feet deep.
Love the video. What brand and model boat do you have? It is a great setup
It’s an Excel F4 Viper

Yes! That’s was us. Such a fun ride in the rain. Very peaceful.
I was gonna take my whaler up there. No point going now if I can’t swim in the springs 😞
It is 10000% worth the boat ride up the river.
@@OverlandFlorida yeah , but then I would be tempted to jump in the water lol
@@Whalermansteve84you can swim just not right there

They do remove some to keep the troop from getting too big. But they are still there. I’ve seen them a few times.
Are you still a member of Freedom Boat Club?
No, I did a one year trial. It was a great deal. But I’ll probably join when I sell this boat next year.
Nice boat! Jet or prop?
Thanks! It has a prop.
