We have a weeeener. Captains Cat pm'd me at 4:27 am followed by JennyKatz, 4 mins. later. So what's the deal with you nocturnal Cat people. You hunting rodents? :) -Greg

I have a free ticket. First one to PM me gets it. -Greg

You raise a heck of a point about a "boaterhome." It would be unlikely that I'd use the camper and the boat. Very easy to pull into an RV park and sleep in the boat. Perhaps a half ton would suffice. -Greg

The more I read about the subject, the more diverse opinions I find, which leads to further confusion on my part. To answer your question, the Campion + Camper + stuff would total 8000 lbs. at the most, which probably gives me a nice margin. I hoping to hear some experiences with those who...

Why are you asking such a question? Like myself, you own none of the above. -Greg

I'm wanting to haul my 22' Campion and, at times, a 2000 lb. pop up camper. I'm figuring combined weight is 8000 lbs. fully loaded. The 1/2 ton truck that intrigues me is a loaded '02 GMC 1500 Sierra Denali, 6.0, with quadrasteer (a feature I really want). It's rated as having a 10,000 towing...

Thanks Dr. Bob. I've gotten a lot of questions answered here and through e-mail with Les Lampman. The TC 24 boat was unavailable to view so we're going to shoot for this coming Friday. I ruled out the Seaswirl and Glacier Bay for now. If we change boats, consolidating with one, we'll...

Great posts. Thanks to all for the time you took to write. Many thanks to Tortuga for the links. I showed it to my wife and her comments were...."cute and goofy looking at the same time." She's says that about me too, so I can live with that. 8) A south wind is blowing and I'm going to...

Now that's a cool lookin wessel Joe. Very clever!! -Greg

Snowing in Kalama. I'm diggin it (literally). First truly white Christmas since I left Klamath Falls, 30 winters ago. -Greg

How would the boat be used? Cruising and perhaps as a Coast Guard Auxiliary facility. As you may know, I have a 22' Campion just a mile from me, moored on the Columbia. We have our 27' Devlin 2.5 hours from us near Bremerton. We cruise on it in the off-season and charter it in the summer...

I may be in the market this spring for a cat like this. Weather permitting, I might look at it as early as Saturday. Would you say 65k is a fair price for this TC 24? From what I've read, the sloping front windows can create a greenhouse effect. Can that be solved with some aftermarket...

Well Dang Roger. My vote is for a Honda 1k. I own a Honda 2k and it's proven to be too heavy and bulky for my limited cockpit space. Plus...it's more than I need, since all I used it for was a small microwave or heater. Buy the 1k and I'll trade you! :) -Greg

The temperature of the Columbia River is about 38 degrees. It hasn't been above freezing for a week. If they used that system here at Kalama's covered marina, it would simply add more weight in the form of ice. -Greg

Better yet. Contact your local Coast Guard Auxilliary flotilla and attend a Boaters Skills and Seamanship class. You'll learn all about chartwork plus a whole lot of other important things. I just finished the course and it was excellent. -Greg

I shall. She's intends to try every dish that has butter. We're going to be on a diet in January to get ready for this trip. I betcha all will be gained after that feast. Question. The space shuttle is due to launch on 2/12. We'll be in Bermuda. Will we get to see or hear it launch...

Thank you for the kind offer and advice. I had no idea the boat show was on during that time. Trouble is...when we get off the ship Friday morning, 2/13, we'll have a 7 hour drive to Savannah. My wife is itching to visit it and her hero's (Paula Deen) restaurant. Boat shows are tough on her...

South Beach it is. I'm zeroing in on a few around $130/nite. That's more than I want to pay. I nailed a nice condo in Orlando for $70/night and another condo in historic Savannah for $99/mo. (Gotta love Craigslist). Another question. I'm dumping the car at Miami Airport. Is it difficult...

My wife and I are taking advantage of some low cruise rates out of Miami to the Bahamas and back, around Valentine's Day. The night prior to boarding will be spent in Miami. I'm trying to zero in on a condo or decent motel that's in safe, walking distance to the cruise ships. Is the South...
