The Detroit River and Lake St. Clair over the Lake Erie Islands? That's like picking a visit to the hospital over Cedar Point.

Any info on the update to the Ray system would be greatly appreciated!

RVP, Do not buy the Raymarine wireless system if you want to fish for walleye. It does not operate below 3 mph. It interfaces with the GPS. I think you can purchase a Raymarine system and add the wireless remote, but I don't think the wireless system will help you for walleyes, maybe muskie...

Southern Boris, What a great trip that would be! I used to live in the area, and services were pretty thin on Lake Winnipeg. I believe there are clubs/marinas in Gimli and Heckla Island. Lake Winnipeg is largely under-cruised. It would be great if you could get all the way to Norway House. The...

Don't forget, every once in a while boat dealers retag serial numbers on boats that do not sell from the prior year. No-fault of any owners, it is just something that occurs occasionaly in the industry. I hope the 6th grade teacher enjoys the boat and Andrew enjoys his Hatteras. Don't sweat the...

Well, the only real similarities in the C-Dory and Parker 2120 are that both have a pilot house and outboard power. Mind you, I owned the C-Dory 25, and it was more of a cruiser, verses the fishing aspects of the Parker. I did most of my boating on the open waters of Lake Erie. If you tried to...

I have owned both vessels, the Parker 2120 and the C-Dory. You can email me if you would like an opinion.

Bottom paint it with VC-Offshore with an epoxy primer. If you use this type of bottom paint and primer combo it never has to be sanded again. If you require another coat, you wipe it off and apply another coat. You never have to sand again.This is on my 25 CD and I have used it on previous boats...

Here in a blue collar section of Detroit, the marinas are mostly empty. It is still early in the season but many guys have unloaded their boats or put them up for sale. (The local neighborhood marina services Detroit River/Lake Erie boaters and was at about 50% capacity last year compared to...

I received a Q grill as a present a few years ago (yes, the one from the infomercials) and it works pretty well. The best feature is that when it is in the case, it fits perfectly into the latched storage bin at the helm seat. I still have my Magma in the garage until I find a better storage...

Is the revdr a Decks n Docks customer? I have a 25 where the Detroit River meets Lake Erie (Gibraltar). What waters do you generally cruise?

Let's discuss this at Put-In-Bay/Kelleys Island. I'll buy you a beer or two. We would love to go any June/early July. Les

Did you trailer your 25 down to La Paz or did you start from the top and cruise south? Thanks, Les p.s. Someone who owned the sailboat must have been a Springsteen fan.

Thank you Pete!
