We saw this nice 23 Venture coming through Agate Pass on October 29, 2025.

Some thoughts about what you have and want. Two engines point most strongly toward two start batteries in my estimation. They could be downsized to the most compact that will do the job which might save some space and weight if they are currently oversized. 65AH/420CCA is what is recommended...

Generally agree with the initial recommendations, and second the vote for a Rocna or Mantus anchor. We have hundreds of nights on two Rocna models in two sizes and you can't really go too wrong. Add a good swivel to your line if you plan to stay put for multiple nights in one location and have...

Change is good and that was a solid run! We have fond memories of Daydream over the years. A new phase begins for the boat and now that we liveaboard, we will keep an eye out for it! Greg

I have a space on our Bullfrog with a small stern sump and wanted something low profile to work and not get in the way of feet over the shallow sump area. I used one of these and am happy enough that I now want a spare. I think we have the 650 auto model...

A new boat is really hard to justify unless you are ordering it to have significant build customizations completed in the original build process. Layout revisions, custom windows, and other "before you cut that big hole..." type of changes being examples. We are browsing the used market for a...

Goodbye to a wonderful proponent of the trailerable lifestyle, and condolences to El and family.

We were really happy with the comfort of two seats made for the Seasport boat models we purchased from the factory in Bellingham. They fit in the 19 so it should be workable on a 25. They would likely ship one if you called down and gave them color details you prefer. Greg

Looking good and I like the tip-up feature you added. Our dory is gone of course (now in Anchorage), but I added a 100watt flex panel and victron controller to our Bullfrog pilothouse for self-recharge of the trolling motor/downrigger/pot puller group 27 battery This boat will live out most of...

Great event and so much thanks to Daybreak and other friendly folks for the hospitality! It was nice to see everyone and enjoy a summer weather preview. Langs on Lia,

The boat was sold towed away by Dave from Tacoma who is on the site already and plans to keep the boat named the same. So when you see Ari out fishing the sound, say hi to Dave! Great guy and good addition to the Cbrats crowd. https://photos.app.goo.gl/cNUrNddzK2PyL65m6 Greg

Hello Daybreak, The holding at Patos against the beach with a stern tie was very good, with our small Rocna pulling uphill into the sand/gravel. The current does wash through that spot in both directions, and you may hear an occasional log/branch bump up against the boat as it moves through...

I have two of these in nice condition but want to offer them to the new owner of Ari first. I will post here again if they become available. There are mounts in the cockpit for them, but we never used them. Greg

After viewing the pics and considering condition and the rareness and useful comfort of such a boat, I think 13-14k would be fair.

Ari the 19 cruiser is for sale (listing just posted on the site)! After 122 nights aboard over 9 years, it's time to switch gears. Our last night was at Patos Island with a stern tie! https://photos.app.goo.gl/wM8e7zdiHTpgfrQA8 It has been a great ride with 3 C-dorys since 2009 and we...
