I was out for a little cruise in yesterday's sunshine and I took a moment to think about this question. I was lucky enough to pick up an '08 23 Venture built by Fluid at a reasonable price. At the time it was a side by side choice with a 22 with about a 10k difference. I have done nothing to the...

I'm sure Port Boathouse could help you. They had a connection that did great canvas work for me and they would know the dimensions. Give them a call.

Thanks again for the responses and especially for the offers of 'on the boat' training. Much appreciated.

Many thanks to all. I got a lot of good bait for thought here. 😉 much appreciated

Never been down to Langley. Is this a pleasant trip down from Friday Harbour? Any difficulties I can't pick up from a chart? Thanks

A little advice please. I am a real beginner at salmon (or to be honest - any) fishing but keen to learn. When I was at the Victoria fishing and boat show recently I learned of the Salmon University. I have looked at the website and there seems to be some great information. I am thinking of...

My twin 60's spin the same way. No problem. Hydraulic steering eliminates pull. Motors are very close together so the effect is not like twin inboards.

Now I feel really embarrassed ! 😳 Harvey was really kind and through a very comprehensive pm he straightened me out as to why I was having trouble putting a picture in a post. I was so excited ! 😃 I couldn't contain myself and went to my photo album and posted a whole bunch of other pictures...

I could imagine that the prop size may be slightly larger. The F70 is only 8lbs heavier than the F60 and has the same displacement. Max HP is developed at 5800 instead of 5500 and max rpm has gone from 6000 to 6300. The improved performance essentially from the same motor is most likely from...

Surprised this morning to find a great photo on the front page of the Victoria Times Colonist! I have put it in my album. PS: how do I get the actual photo in the posting?

Thanks for that! Got out of bed at 4am to watch and I'm feeling a bit tired but elated.

I was at the Victoria Boat + Fishing Show on Saturday and Port Boat House had a 23 Venture on display. It was getting lots of attention and the reaction seemed to be very positive. Fit and finish seemed excellent. The twin 70 Yamahas on the back seemed the perfect set up and Mike told me that...

You mean Seals go #2 ! :shock:

I second that one! Very easy to open and save in just about any format.

I will be riding in the Tour de Victoria cycle race on the 24th so I can't be sure about bringing the boat round. There will certainly be a lot of excitement in the city that day as the finish line is in front of the legislature at the harbour. Shouldn't be any effect on the moorage from that...

I have been fortunate to travel a great deal during my career. I had three mobile phones. Though my US (ATT) and Canadian (Bell) phones worked in Europe they were not the best and could be very expensive if you want to use data. For that reason I had UK phone for Europe. My US phone worked fine...

Sorry for not being clear. I was thinking about making the trip by C-Dory rather than ferry.

Just for smiles, I went to a Navy school in Wales in the 1960s. It was in a place called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch . After 3 years I could pronounce it. Back to Sequim. I have thought about taking a trip over there from Victoria. I'm sure that the guys from...

The definitive answer to boat loan/home equity loan questions are answered at http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc505.html

Thinking about a theme being discussed elsewhere, I wonder what one of these boats costs new? This is still a very nice boat at a great price and will make someone (maybe in a warmer climate :wink: ) very happy.
