Congrats! Where is it headed?

I have an F350 with a lance 830. Use a 24 inch extension and weight distribution hitch with the non-chains for easy backing up. Launch the 25 no problem camper on. Last trip in Tofino, took it off for camping. Parked truck on the road/entrance to the campsite with multiple trailer locks...

You don’t need a ball peen hammer or a survey. My friend has a 1980 with no fiberglass or core issues. Use your boat and in the unlikely event you find a soft spot then get it fixed. Congrats on the new to you boat. Remember a new one would have been 100k and you now have 44 feet of waterfront!

New old stock mdf’s come up for sale, I was helping a friend navigate the upgrade issues and found a cheap new in box c120. I like the Lowrance mdf network, I have standard Horizon ais receive vhf to add to it. One advantage is the Lowrance autopilot is a good addition and works well. HDS live...

Very cool and the davit is still holding up well? Same dinghy and kicker? I’m struggling choosing my next dinghy due to a family of 4 I want the weight to be reasonable but would love to also have it with wheels and a 6hp for using for crabbing when I don’t want to launch our 25. Hope you are...

I have the 07 150 designed on the vtech same as the 135. Been great for us 1067 hours. When they launched they said fuel economy was 20% better than the 130 it replaced. Enjoy the new boat

Not to highjack but what year was the 175 bought? Same block as the 200hp? Thinking about my next one :)

The 135 should be a good engine, but what year is it and how many hours? I have 150 and wouldn't want anything less when loaded for fishing and cruising as things get heavy. I think it would perform best with a bare bones, no kicker, radar, extra weight setup, or if you don't mind 25 miles...

Boat of my dreams, lucky couple. If they ever want to go for Tuna/halibut up north reach out to me. Happy to deckhand and keep my tomcat dreams alive.

Just picked up a bunch of tuna gear now watching the weather. I’m looking at going out of Tofino, but in the future maybe WA or OR. I have divers, planers and something I don’t know what they are. Any experts willing to do a FaceTime with me? Would love to chat and figure out how to set up...

Great boats. More an alternative to a seasport or orca skagit due to the power needed and target market/use but both of those have a stand up head available. What is superior to many boats is the windshield, sight lines. Up there with some nice one windshield pursuits etc

Wish the stars were aligned and I could buy this. Not many boats are better than a 25 cruiser but a tomcat with new power! I’m sending this too a couple friends with 22’s they are considering moving up from.

Sounds like a great trip! We have managed Alberni Bamfield Broken Group in one trip and Tofino in another both at full speed except when trolling or jigging. You are getting to more places on Vancouver Island than most do in a lifetime! I haven’t visited Nootka except for off shore commercial...

There are a few rest areas and pull over areas south of Campbell River. Walmart in Courtenay would be a bit of a pain. The Mount Washington exit has a big gravel parking lot at the base but is a km up the road. It will be empty in Sept. Piercy Road exit in Courtney has a little gravel area a...

Some good knowledge already shared. A professional survey is a good place to start on figuring out value but it is mostly the seller that determines the price when demand is high and supply is low. Just do a search on Craigslist or Facebook for 22-30 foot boats with outoutboards and see how low...

8500lb towing capacity is ok for a 25 Cruiser, but I would double-check if you need a weight-distribution hitch, and tongue adaptor) to tow 8500. Mine comes in under 8500lbs unless I load it up. I have Electric Over Hydraulic brakes on our Load Rite Elite Trailer and tow it with a 2015 F350 1...

My only issue with the Seasport is if you are stepping up in size, price and comfort you should also be able to have better viewing as a passenger and captain. New Zealand boats have been leading the way in one piece windshields and also accordion style glass doors while Pursuit and other in the...

Easier and cheaper is not the point of any of my fishing and smoking! Tuna is in the cards some day did Island Magic, but lots of fish to catch before it happens.

I’ve tried contacting c-dory several times about a swim step and ladder with no response. Have you had luck ordering one from somewhere else? Really need one for our 25 cruiser. Had to use the dingy Saturday and the oar lock came apart and the oar blade twisted it was like disabled rowing! While...

Yes, you can go for Tuna in a 22. I have fished Tuna commercially and have about 5 years of west coast experience and I’m hesitant to go in my 25. Weather knowledge and boat handling skills, combine with safety and navigation knowledge and equipment are key. This is all before you learn about...
