I felt best served by a custom-made bimini that offered full cockpit coverage (sides) yet could be easily detached and stored in the cockpit when not needed. Check out my album for pics and if you want to see the real thing contact Jerry on C-Nile (he bought my boat last year).

Call Phil at Tomahawk Island Marina - 360-281-3908 He was $125 for my slip last year.

I used Tomahawk Island marina for ten years but now am at Hayden Bay. Like Jerry and Rob said the traffic getting to Hayden Island (Jantzen Beach) can problematic. A slip on Marine Drive east of Salty's would eliminate that. As with most things you get what you pay for.

A major turning point for us was when we realized we were doing most all of our cruising at 8 knots. And the second major point was when we realized we couldn't take/have the whole family (the kids left town after high school then returned recently with spouses and children) on our CD-22. I...

The 'sweet spot' for me ( two 40s) was 4500 RPM.

Honda.....turn it on, run it, turn it off. I own three (3).

I could read posts like this all day long....

I just finished taking a Silverton 45 from Portland to Richland, WA. Nice to have a hot on-board shower and big screen TV available when you need them.....

Downstream from Yankton the river has the taste of wildness to it that is nonexistent on the channelized river below Ponca State Park. The river is a series of meanders, chutes, and backwaters dominated by sandbars with an occasional heavily-timbered island. The river channel varies in width...

Good luck....there's no real channel until Ponca.
