Geeeez that's a long swim!

Is there a date set yet? We had planned to be at Edisto, SC sometime in September but would opt for the gathering.

We head out from home at 6:45am...45 minutes late till I remember that we're actually early due to the time change between home and the launch site. The first minor issue is that I forgot to load the porta-potti holding tank...no biggie...it had a broken flush handle, so we'll just stop and get...

Must be nice Nick :D 12 short years and a market boom and we'll be there. Ya know, we really need some young CD owners in here, so young that they don't even notice the folks that are already retired and having all the fun. They could envy those of us that are just catching a glimpse of the...

They make great cruisers too! We love our larger cockpit, and prefer it in the 22 footer.

Hmmmm? I wonder if the rest of the "for sale" boats are accepting almost 20% less than asking price? I might have to bite the penalty and dig into my 201K :lol:

Great news! I hope everything runs super smooth for you guys. Hopefully you'll be building my 25 footer :D

I'm honored!

I've owned quite a few 14-17' fiberglass boats, all were at least a few years old before I got them...ALL had stress cracks, and all were mid-level name brands. Our 15 year old C Dory amazed me when we went to look at her, there are only 2 places that have spiderweb cracks, both about the size...

Mine are 11.25 x 13 and typically WOT at 5700-5800

I'd be interested to know the prop pitch. I might try one, and keep it aboard if it will get me on plane with a single. My boat was lightly loaded when I tried. 2 adults (300#), full tanks, no trim tabs or hydrofoil, maybe 100lbs of "stuff", 2nd engine up and out, slick water with no current. I...

Pat, steal the attention back by asking the captain about the tug's fuel consumption :lol: We had very little current to deal with on the TN River, which most certainly helped our mileage. We heard that the Cumberland River has the perfect water for top mpg...so we're leaving at 5am tomorrow...

Pat, on our first TN River trip we averaged 25mph for 253 miles at 5.6mpg, we slowed down to an average speed of 18mph on the second trip and the mpg went to 6.3 in over 600 miles with our Honda 45's. I'd be willing to bet that those seniors were from here in WNC, all drove Ford Crown Vics with...
