Sierra
The big red rig, 1 ton diesel, perfect for the R25 Tug but overkill for a CD 25 but decent towing mileage (between 12 and 16 depending on the terrain) and will crest any pass at the speed limit (900 ft lbs of torque)and only need the exaust brake all the way down.(heavier duty trucks may have the same engine power as lighter dutys but have WAY more powerful brakes, and on this truck I have seen up to 90hp of exaust brake hold back and will hold us to under 60mph on the steepest downgrades with the CD25) also only the 1 ton comes with the Aisin trans that won't overheat when towing.

Dana in Wyoming with Andiamo on the way home from her purchase in South Dakota June 2018. Prior to 15 she had been a New England boat. We traded the 03 135 Honda for new Suzukis at Sportcraft in Oregon.

Our new eyebrow handholds, 220 watts of solar, new Lewmar windlass and 22# Rocna anchor. Dana had all new Sunbrella done along with all new interior upholstery and v-berths.

Our new lightweight Zodiac, we just painted it with bouy-coat for uv protection and visibility, this time we are trying yellow.

Lake Powell with our R25SC Tug Sequoia, 2018, we painted the Achilles, but we ended up really disliking it, the inflating floor and keel made it too heavy and the floor collected a lot of sand and debris.

Zooming along in Lake Shasta in our newly refurbished Sierra

Building our first boat, a 45 foot fiberglass Roberts, 1976 in Victoria Australia. When completed in 1978 we sailed her back to California via the Pacific islands. (I also laid up a 50 another 45 and a 32 for other people) Back then no GPS,the only electronics was a spinning depth sounder. Navigation was with a sextant and a clock with a bunch of published tables. No sail furlers, windvanes,solar panels or electric windlass's, times have sure changed!

Sequoia our previous R25SC, anchored in the Sea of Cortez 2017 (we sold her mostly because, huge to tow and launch, a lot of lakes don't have diesel and major maintenance headaches, love our C-dory)
