So we can figure out some tuna for bison trades when this is all over?

Great news for you and the extra 1M doses for everyone. It will be great when Canada starts vaccinating all seniors! I feel some guilt visiting my older father this weekend but fingers crossed he will get vaccinated by mid April. I’ll be lobbying hard for the boarder opening up for the...

Would love to find out how your system preforms under real world testing. I just picked up a big old version of your freezer. When fishing using dual screens electric downriggers and radar I feel like we are taxing our battery/alternator combo. Be nice to have significant solar work confidence...

Thanks, I'm ramping up my video taking to launch a channel up in Victoria BC. I subscribed to yours.

Thanks so much for your input. After fighting with the surveyor he revised this recommendation, left others that were wrong. Which was a good thing as the bilge in our 25 is not continuous so the pump would not drain the fuel tank area or of course the cabin. The hull is well designed and if the...

Glad you are still running strong! We just rolled over 1000 hours prawning after Christmas and hope to go a long way with our Honda 150. A good friend decide to repower as well, twin 250 Suzuki’s and kicker and a guide I fish along side did the same. Their twins were just delivered, I think most...

I would contact CBSA in Port McNeil and make the request prior to landing, to spend the night at the dock. You wouldn't want to get snitched on. It is a huge push north and should be done well-rested, so it's reasonable to request in my mind but I don't work for CBSA. The issue is if you are...

Great boat, we have the same boat, engine and trailer combo. Someone is going to get an amazing cruiser.

Guy in Victoria fishes with his 21 Ranger tug for halibut and salmon all the time. If the journey is as important as the destination and you are into fair weather 1-2 person trips than the tug could be a good choice? I was torn between a 25 ranger and 25 cruiser but speed was the deciding...

Love it! Frightened man with a bucket. Law in Canada says a bailing bucket or a manual bilge and man can you move water with those. The issue is when you lose power which does happen on boats. Running downriggers, two mfd, radar, radio and then take a massive wave over the back you are up...

Some great trips and stories, here thanks for sharing. Victoria BC to Hood River, 1000km roundtrip, 1.5 hour ferry and a border crossing to pick up a tomcat I had surveyed but failed to discover the boat had been ran up on the beach repeatedly. Couldn't come to terms given the damage and the...

Yeah I argued with him! Old guy set in his ways, I'll never do another survey with him.

Our surveyor has recommended a Manual Diaphragm mounted bilge pump. Has anyone mounted one successfully on a modern 2006 or newer 25 or 22 Cruiser? Or any C-Dory. I found one intake photo but no pictures of the pump mounted in my C-brats search. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/whale-pu ...

150hp on a 25 Cruiser has pretty good performance but given the weight of most 150's and 9.9 kicker, a Yamaha 200hp is a better way to go as it has the same weight and a hell of a lot more HP. I doubt the 23 is rated for 200 but if it is that would be my choice. I have half an eye open for the...

We were beside an Aspen at Hornby Island last week. I don't bother taking too long a look they just are not in my price range. If you like the stability I would agree you should go for a Tomcat over a Cruiser. But it is like comparing a truck slide-in camper to a A class motor home. If your wife...

Not to derail this conversation but the gauge for speed for our 2007 honda 150 is displaying 1/2 speed, versus our actual and GPS speed. Any easy fix? Thanks

Yeah, we are 100% mustang family and he is in lifejacket before he hits the dock. Two sets of swimming lessons under his belt but we haven't done a canoe flip yet! Love that idea. His whistle just hangs down but I'll figure out a way to strap it where he can grab it easily. He isn't a big fan...

We also went with bunks with guides.

We looked at both Tuff and Load Rite and just went with a Load Rite Elite. Both are Aluminum. Big fan of disc brakes and on ours they are really accessible for flushing an we will try and flush with salt away after each dunk. The elite also has an adjustable hitch hight which is great, since we...
