The boat is sold, thanks for everyone's interest.

Dun - I have the 4 Runner with V-8 that I use to tow my 22, and I would not like to go to a very much larger boat. It tows ok, but it it feels like it is pretty much at capacity. I keep it locked out of overdrive and it pulls ok but on hills it will occasionally drop down to third. And my...

Dun - no up/down or sway motion at all. I do have a tandem axel trailer which helps, but I also have a single axel sailboat that weights around 3700#, and it is no problem. So maybe the larger chassis make a difference. My main concern is the load on the engine and transmission, but so far...

I tow my CD-22 with a 2005 Toyota 4 Runner, and I have the V8 which is rated at 7,000#. I like the 5 speed automatic trans that is in the V8 version, and when towing I simply put it in 4th which locks out the overdrive. You can certainly tell there is a trailer back there, but I have never...

Wild Blue - I hope to catch up with you guys at Oak Canyon sometime late this afternoon. ... Jim

Steve - we drove back to Flagstaff for the day and had snow; this is really strange weather for May. But Sunday it should clear out and we will go back to Antelope and launch. And the rest of the week looks nice. I keep my boat here in their Dry Storage and it is really reasonable, $38/...

Gemini launched on Friday from Antelope. The weather is not cooperating for today and it looks like tomorrow may be just as bad. We motored around as far as Padre Bay and then back to the Marina. We had rollers 4 - 6 feet from this wind so we are going to go back on the trailer and...

Gemini will launch Saturday morning, May 5th. It sounds like Friday night is at Wahweep and then Saturday everyone heads east, maybe Padre Bay for Saturday evening and then on to Gunsight Sunday. Just a suggestion for the first few days. Waynes world (www.wayneswords.com) is saying that the...

The two times that I have spent on Lake Powell I have not encountered any "mice"; except on my laptop. And I agree on the anchoring, just find a sandy beach and pull in bow or stern first and use your anchor or find something that will hold to tie off on. I have not tried beaching stern...

I wonder if we can get a sign up sheet for this cruise. The core dates are May 4 through May 11, with some coming a few days earlier. Then lets's see who is committed and we can agree on a meeting point Friday the 4th.

Warren - the Stan Jones map is probably the closest thing to a cruising guide for Lake Powell. Go to this site: http://www.canyon-country.com/maps/Stan ... s_map.html

I just got back from spending the week end at Lake Powell. It is still cool in the day but starting to warm up and almost no boat activity at this point. All the marinas are open, including Dangling Rope. Gas in town was $2.31 and on the water is $3.81. The restraunt at Antelope Point marina...

Seabran - sounds like the only constant is that Friday May 11 will be the haul out day, because of the Delta Cruise and other schedules. And that the majority will cruise from May 4 - May 11. So I am in and I will launch from Antelope Point. I may get there a few days early also, depending on...
