If you can believe what you read (25 rhib 1617 and 179 cutter at 1597) I think I will have to start looking at bigger boats as a way to save money.

The paddle is a single bladed paddle. Most paddles are sized for individuals by length over head. Mine is +12 with a blade of 9.5". Takes a lot of muscles to pull on it. A double ended paddle would work from the sitting position, but I don't see it as a practical stand up paddle because in...

Chromer it is called sup(stand up paddling). The sport is not limited to coastal areas, and should have great interest. I do it in the surf zone and love it. It is the best type of surfing I have done my entire life and I have been surfing since 12. People are interested in the sport as a...

We have been granted a week at the end of Aug to go Salmon fish. Better than last year!

Nice boat. It looks like a C-DORY with a semi v hull. a narrower cabin that allows walk around capability. The boat is a lot bigger than a 22 and almost double the 16. And look at all the rod holders. I am sure that vessel will be a fishing machine. Lucky guy Jack.

Look under you helm floor. My gel coat colors for repair were placed their by the factory. If your lucky you will find them and then the matching color will be easy.

David I would like one. I can not find your message box (large data base). I have been making paddles lately and the local sources for teak tell me teak is 4 times the cost of most normal types of wood. I'd would like the teak. I would also like to find a supplier for exotic woods. My...

I think the radar tower rack is a great addition. Some have the tall version. Mine is the short version with 4 rod holders. the radar,2 gps, vhf and am-fm antenna all mounted on it with the wiring running thru the rails into the cabin. Makes for a handy place to mount all the antenna...

flrockytop it looks like you forgot your sunscreen. A day on the water exposed to the sun can hurt that evening, next day and then itch.

Local boy try a wetsuit. Like the Oneil add "its always summer on the inside" is true. There are some great areas of surf for you. Also try the stand up paddle board in the surf. I have been surfing most my life and the sup imho is absolutely the best. Sup is also best for fitness. I think...

My peiprb was water activated. I just had to wear it. A diving client of mine returned from the bottom only to not see his boat in the fog and he activated his spot. The coast guard picked him up and returned him to his boat. He was diving alone and to far offshore to swim. His spot saved...

Looks like jaws to me. Heavy price to pay to play. Its called tow in surfing and the surf board is more like a wake board or kite board so its not a floatation device. I want to see my great grand kids, so I'll leave that size to those who don't have the fear of death getting pounded into...

My thoughts may not have been liked and I don't know the area but these were the considerations. Wind 100 mph is very dangerous to fly in. The article mentioned the danger the aircraft was in. The picture reflected a boat well beached. A 58 ft boat has a cabin in it and the clothes the...

Since the crew appeared to be out of harms way, Why did the CG have to send two choppers in the dangerous conditions? I believe this is a situation where the pickup could have occured in calmer conditions instead of endangering all lives with the high wind.

Last year Calif got a no salmon season. That included all the way to the Oregon border, but across the border in Brookings they got to fish. Our reef just south of the Oregon border was shut down to bottom fishing last July but just north of the area bottom fishing was open. Tell me that...

Smart crew! Saved themselves by beaching the boat. Weathered the elements in a fine cabin then made way to a high point to be rescued. They might of even had some rum. Sounds a lot better than the boat sinks and the coast guard is searching an area where they think they went down and the...

Sounds like another year of no fishing for salmon is my prediction. Will we get the double whammy again of bottom fishing being closed as well? I am sure glad I have other interests, but it makes my boat pretty useless.

I believe your bow caused the turn and your chine caused the roll. Thirty is not to fast if the boat is handling properly, When ever the boat is misbehaving you should correct it before you add more speed.

Our boats can handle a lot. The pounding is uncomfortable so I slow down to where I don't slam so hard. Going into the swell is always going to be slower due to the pounding but running with it should be smooth. I run in the ocean, so often when I boat, the swell is minimum of 6ft. With wind...

When accelerating in my race jet boat the trim nozzle is down to keep the hull in the water, but when up on a plane the trim nozzle is trimmed up till the bouncing stops. To much lift just cuts speed. So yes your hull was trimmed down to much for the speed and yes your bow caught and changed...
