    Kayak advice needed...

    I usually like to toss in an option to the kayak. Look into sup stand up paddle board. They will do all you wanted to do in your list but imho is way more fun, the best workout since highschool wind sprints in football, totally fun because if it wasn't I would not enjoy it. They do all the...

    Rules of the Road...

    If your visibility decreases you are to decrease your speed so that you can stop in half the distance of your visibility. Your sound signal while underway is a prolonged blast at two minute intervals. So what will you hear in the fog of a vessel towing another vessel.

    Towing a dinghy at high speeds

    You might want to check it out on flat water with wakes and stuff before you go out in the ocean. When towing in the ocean I prefer to have both vessels be in sinc with the swell and set the tow rope at a length that will keep us in harmony instead of fighting the swells. Line is working while...

    Rules of the Road...

    They are not considered to be a fishing vessel with priority and if they are sitting in a channel they better get out of the way. Their priority would be in line with a power boat and she should would be the stand on vessel if not underway so that other boats can maneuver around it. Golly...

    Hey captain, ahead there is a vessel not able to maneuver and we should pass on the side with the diamonds and avoid the side with the balls. Once passed it looks like we are on the safe side and we can go. Sea ya

    Smallest but most effective tow vehicle

    I tow my 22 angler with my Kubota B26 tractor. Easy to pick up, drop off, tight spaces no problem, just got to watch the loader, 4x4, 3 speeds. Works great till I get off my property, then I switch to either a 3/4 ton van or 1/2 ton silverado.

    Placing Tender on Roof w/ Low Radar Arch

    Gary, I have the same rack on my angler and I like it. But I could not mount a raft forward of my rack because their is not enough distance. You gain 18 inches with the cruiser so maybe a short raft. If you have the rail on the cabin you could add a surf board type of rack to raise the raft...
