All good insights, and very much appreciated. I like the idea of leaving tow vehicle with boat, just dont know if I can really get by without having my personal vehicle with me in Omaha. :)

I just learned that Enterprise rents pickup trucks for $80 a day and $400 a week. Sometimes unlimited mileage. Sometimes a daily limit of 200 miles or 1400 miles/week. They have multiple locations for truck rental. Dayton, Ohio is one of them. This is link to their site for anyone...

I will keep trying. I launch boat on Ohio River and haul it out in Marietta, Ohio. I leave it in Marietta, drive home to Omaha. Next time I fly. I know I could launch there again, but I want to be at Kentucky Lake. I am looking on breakthrough ideas on how to move boat from site to site...

Halcyon after drive back from Tacoma

I will haul Halcyon to Ohio and leave there for summer. If I make several trips back to Ohio via air I find myself with a boat and no ready haul/launch vehicle. I am curious how people have solved this dilemna.

I live in Omaha and would be willing to help facilitate a Missouri River cruise for CD owners. There are 700+ miles of navigable river. 116 from Sioux City to Omaha, 250 more on to Kansas City, 336 more to St. Louis. There is a 500 mile stretch w/o fuel from Omaha to Columbia, Missouri. so...

I am considering hauling Halcyon to OHIO from NEBRASKA for summer cruising. Ohio River and tribs (Allegheny, Monongahela, Kanawah, Muskingum. Maybe up to Lake Erie and down to Kentucky/Barkley Lakes. In order to avoid 1500 mile round trip drive to Dayton from Omaha, I would fly. I am...

I have been learning the ropes on Halcyon since June. Have not ventured very far from home. Central Iowa for Rathbun and Red Rock Lakes...Missouri River also. I am heading to LeClaire, Iowa to launch on the Mississippi River for some cruising Sept. 13-17. Anybody interested in joining me...

gee whiz, you would think that with two six-day stretches of scheduled time off every month I would have connected on ONE of my desired c-brats outtings this year...but I have struck out on Mississippi River, North Carolina, Lake Powell, and now Gulf Coast cruise. I gotta figure this schedule...

I went for a little cruise yesterday. After starting noticed port engine 'dribbling' water from cooling vent. I fast idled. Flow of water stopped! I lifted motor...inspected intake...dropped...started...now water...stopped...removed hood...blew through hose...droppped motor...started...no...

I just found this chat thread...I brought Halcyon back through 1800 miles of the northwest US and nobody saw me the first week of June? Maybe you guys are all out on the water and 'landings' dont count? I dont see many c-dorys out on the Missouri River but lots of people are SEEING a c-dory.

I passed on a 2007 C-dory with 115 HP motor b/c I felt powering to the max wasnt necessary. Instead I bought a 2000 C-dory with twin 40's b/c it had proven right combo for previous owner who put many hours and many hours on a boat so powered.

well, darn. My work schedule, which is now part time and arranged to have me off Thursday thru Tuesday twice a month is perfect...except this trip coincides with my short (regular) weekend. I am not going to make this event... :(
