I’m preparing to sell the 23 Venture “Easy Victor” I’ll put together a complete equipment list and current pictures after I get a couple things done. Here’s the quick specs 2008 2008 Suzuki 150 EFI 2008 Suzuki 9.9 Air conditioning Full custom canvas enclosure Raymarine MFD Raymarine Radar...

Here’s the answer I think you're looking for. My 2008 23 Venture with a Suzuki DF 150 burns 5 ga per hour at 20-22 mph. This is at cruising weights, full water and a fair amount of stuff. That’s 4mpg or slightly better at about 300% faster than most displacement trawlers. I’ve owned a lot of...

For a CD25 I’d definitely go 3/4ton if you plan on any distance towing. I use a 1/2 ton Ram diesel fir my 23 Venture and it’s good, but a 25 is considerably heavier.

I’m running a Suzuki 150 on my 2007 23 Venture. I personally wouldn’t put less than a 150 on that hull if you really want all the flexibility that it offers. You’ll have a lightly loaded top speed of up to 40-42mph and a great cruise speed of 22-25 mph at 3800rpm and get 4mpg all day.

I have a full Ray Marine C80 set up with auto pilot and radar. My question is, if I want to put in a Garmin chart plotter will my Ray Marine auto pilot work with it? I’m assuming it’s in NMEA 2000 and will be compatible? 2008 23 Venture, 2008 Raymarine package.

Yep, Easy Victor= Get ready, I’m gonna get outta here in a hurry! We don’t use it post 9/11, all plain English and boring now.

Couple things. I didn’t watch the entire video, but it’s not a freaking machine gun it’s a A.R. 15 semi automatic rifle. I don’t know the laws in California, but it doesn’t seem like they broke any. I’m not saying they’re not idiots, but this is not a machine gun ““ and it’s certainly not a bump...

I use an Oster toaster oven with a broiler. It’s 1/3 the weight of a small microwave and gives you lots of cooking options. I dropped the regulator for my Magma grill in the water at lake Powell on our first night there...out comes the Oster and generator and I broiled up a couple filets...

Another option in the C Dory line, the 23 Venture! My 2008 Venture is in between the 22 and 25, but has a different hull shape, porta potty, fridge, water heater, A/C, 30 amp shore power and a Honda 2200 generator. Suzuki 150 produces an awesome 4 MPG at 3800rpm and about 19-21 mph. Math works...

I use a ENO hammock and just clip up under and around the cleat on each side. But, my Venture 23 is a few inches wider than a 22.

I’m heading to Galveston tomorrow to do a quick cruise/fishing trip down to Port Aransas or maybe all the way to Port Isabell/South Padre. Any intel in a good marina to launch and leave truck and trailer for a week? Might need a slip for a night on either end.

How about Galveston to Port Aransas and back? More to see?

Thanks Jamestxd and Pops! I grew up fishing Baffin and the land cut, but haven’t been down in 20 yrs. seems like a good nostalgia trip for November or December. I carry plenty of fuel for a one way, almost enough to round trip. I’d probably anchor out enroute and spend a couple nights in Port...

Thinking about making the round trip in November. Any insights or experiences?

Thanks all!

Port side slider latch for 2008 23 Venture? I’ll try to post a pic. Mine flew off while I was closing the window, it sank. [/img]

Yep. Ran it off a portable tank. Same results.

Changed plugs already also. I’ll be back at the boat Sunday and I’ll start checking these items. It’s just frustrating to have spent almost $3000 on “repairs” that didn’t fix anything. I can’t go back to the shops because they’re behind me on the Loop, and the boat is now back in Texas for the...

OK! I’ll check the dreaded “white wire”, thanks Dave. Also, it’s not throwing any codes, but I’ll check into rev limiter and sensors. All the shops have focused on fuel, but I’m leaning electrical also.
