This boat has been sold at the price listed to some really great people. My thanks to all who expressed interest and to those C-Brats who gave me info and encouragement.

Per suggestion and request, here are some pictures of the boat's interior and cockpit. I took these this morning. Let me know if any other pictures are needed/desired. Greg, falco@squareknot.net

Thanks for your comments. Thanks too for taking the time to dredge up some old photos! The top photo showing the boat bow into the beach is how I always "anchor" at Powell. I run 50' of rode off each stern cleat to 15' of chain attached to Danforths, as indicated in my posts. I place the...

Over the last ten years I've spent over 700 days on Lake Powell, all throughout the calendar year; spring, summer, fall and winter. For what its worth, here's my take on anchoring. I've tried the aft-to-the-beach approach. This takes too many hands (I boat by myself) and is literally...

My thanks to TyBoo who changed the title of this post to reflect the boat is officially a 2005.

Thanks, Sunbeam. I had no idea. I'll make this point in the sales flyer. I bought the boat in July of 2004 from the factory. I do remember Jeff Messmer saying it was #1 off the line, but did not realize it was #1 for 2005. At that point all I wanted was to get her in the water! She's a...

For sale by original owner. Asking $38,000. Willing to negotiate with serious potential buyers. Twin 40 HP Suzuki fuel injected outboards. Just under 1150 hours on each. All engine maintenance performed on time using only factory-direct parts. Engines in excellent condition. King bunk...

Total hours is a secondary indicator of engine condition. The most important thing you should be looking at is whether the recommended, regular maintenance has been conducted on the engines. I suggest you purchase (or borrow) the service manual for these engines and walk the owner through the...

The Castle Rock cut should be plenty deep when you are there. It's 15'+ deep today and the lake level drop is slowing (only 0.5' in the last week) as the US Bureau of Reclamation begins to slow the release from Powell and "balance" lake levels all along the Colorado. You should have no...

Is the semi-circular metal key between the inside of the rubber impellor and drive shaft in place?

Oops! I meant to say "clockwise" not "counter clockwise"!

The only points of contact are the 6 bolts, the clutch linkage, the slide on slide off rubber/metal connection off the water pump and the drive spline. I would be suspicious your drive spline is damaged. Do you grease it before reassembling the lower unit? Are the splines straight and not...

The tackle store referred to is probably Styx. It's on Lake Powell Blvd. Its a good place to get tackle and learn the latest hot spots and techniques.

Smug.
