    Boat Storage at Lake Powell

    http://offshoremarina.com/boat-storage/ Offshore Marina, a few miles west of Bullfrog should fulfill all your storage needs. There also is Hanksville, Utah. Where there are a couple of storage areas. Hanksville would be best if you don't want to go all the way back to Bullfrog to pick up...

    09/22 to 09/23 - Lake Powell 2018

    We missed last year '17, because we had just completed 8 weeks on the boat at the Trent/Severn Canal and the Mississippi River gathering. We had only been home a few days when the Powell gathering was scheduled for. We will be there in '18.

    Tomcat 24 vs 25 Cruiser for Kids and fishing and rough water

    I've owned both the 24' and 255. Go for the 255 if at all possible. With kids you will never be happy with the 24". The bathroom alone on the 24' would be a deal breaker for kids. It's down in a hole under the helm, and not easily accessible for a parent and child. The cockpit on the 255 is...

    09/07 - 09/10 - Mississippi River Gathering 2017

    Colby, We were the one's with the "gumby suits". One is an "intermediate" fits 59" to 70" and to 180 lbs. The other one's marked "adult" with no other markings. I am 6'-4" and 200 lbs. It fits me loosly. I think the adult suit would fit you OK. They always fit loose. Both are new and...

    TomCat Range

    The sweet spot for the Honda 135's is below 2000 RPM. At 8 or 9 MPH you are just mushing along. Using the same fuel that you would at 18 or 20 MPH. 8 to 12 MPH is the worst you can do with our TomCat. Either go slow at 5 or 6 MPH or get up on a plane which occurs above 15 MPH depending on...

    TomCat Range

    I just watched the iDock video from Evinrude. Someone should buy the TomCat Wefing's listed in another thread , and install two 150 etech's and the iDock system. Ultimate for a new TomCat...

    Navigation Charts for Chesapeake Bay

    I purchased the Garmin Blue Chart Mobile US and Canada, for the iPad in early August for $49.00. Looking for answers on the Garmine page I found this. "At the Fort Lauderdale Boat show last month, we announced ActiveCaptain, the app that allows you to manage your marine experience from nearly...

    TomCat Range

    Running at 3800-4000 RPM we get 2.0 MPG + or - depending on the load. That's at about 20 MPH. 2006 Honda 135's fuel injected. 3 blade SS Honda 17 pitch props, or 4 blade Aluminum props. I'm not sure on the pitch of the 4 blade's. Each prop seems to be about equally efficient. I bought...

    Sea Star Solutions being sold to Dometic Group

    I've had excellent support from Sea Star in the past. They replaced two complete hydraulic steering helms at no cost to me. I just hope Dometic dosen't screw up a good product line.

    Congratulations on completing the "Loop" again. We enjoyed meeting you two in Clinton, Iowa, and giving you a short driving tour of Clinton. Glad that you rode out the hurricane with little damage.

    1980s c-dory 27 project in California

    If I didn't have two vintage autos currently under restoration, I would be up for this one. My 50' x 100' shop is full, but it would be a fun project.

    How to quite your espar heater

    I start the Espar up and it's noisy (like a little jet), but then the boat heats up in about 10 minutes, and I turn the dial down. At lower settings I really can't hear any "jet" noise.

    Wallas stove wiring

    Bob, Thanks for the ideas. Now that we are home and I have the time, I'll look into the Wallas. Maybe after 12 years of faithful service, I should just send the Wallas in, and have it looked at by the pro's. I have thought about getting an "Induction Stove top", maybe now's the time.

    Wallas stove wiring

    Our Wallas used to start with no problems. Maybe because the batteries were new. Now after 12 years it still starts every time, but only if I start the stb motor, and let it idle while I start the Wallas. Starting the Wallas without starting the motor first, results in a flashing red light on...

    Interesting center console c-dory

    I emailed the seller and ask about the HIN#. Below is his response. Brent, Let me explain this boat. It has a Washington assigned HIN #. A little history. This boat hull was auctioned off at C-dory when they closed several years ago, before the new group started it back up. The hull was...
