D.D. I'll drop you a line when we get close. Ron I have yet to be able to do pictures. I will learn. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Tom is right on. I also have a 10ft Portabote, but I just bought an Achilles LSI-260 and a 3.5 Nissan outboard for our trip.

We are starting from our home base in St Petersburg. Go down and through Lake Okeechobee and up the ICW. We are saving the Keys and South Florida for this Winter when we get back. I don't know if we will do a blog. If we do, I would like to usurp Jim and Joan's style on Wild Blue.

Departure Day. I am now on vacation. Final preparations are under way. I retire April 29. We start our Great Loop Tour on April 30. The four of us, the Admiral me and two dogs, are eagerly awaiting the start of a new life. Cocoon will be a great vehicle.

Sea Wolf I couldn't agree with you more. Just read some of the new books.

Getting ready for our trip, and had both dogs in for a checkup and meds-$735. I don't spend that much on me.

Welcome. You will love the 23. I am retiring next month, and we are immediately leaving on the Great Loop, a circumnavigation of the Eastern half of the US.

I got mine today, also. We are starting the Great Loop Tour in Cocoon about mid-April. They will be a nice handout to have.

I think this will be a nice handout for the owners and a great sales tool for Triton. I am looking forward to getting mine.

Great article. Pat. Thanks for posting it. Here.s hoping the best for Triton.

I have the Honda 150 on my boat. It will get up to the mid or upper 30s. I never go that fast. It will plane at less than 15MPH. I find mine comes up on plane and the bow really drops at about 25MPH. I really never go any faster than that. I like the 150 because it gets up and goes without much...

What a great decision for both of the companies, and for the rest of us. It will be great to see the Lampman influence on the board again.

My anchor light is right in frint of my radar dome and the same height. It couldn't be seen from the stern. I had it replaced with a taller LED.

Scott PM with info sent Thanks, Dave

Even though I have a 10 ft Porta-bote, we opted to get an inflatable for our dinghy. Not enough room to open the Porta-bote in the cockpit, and the seats take up more room than the boat.

I have the 10 ft model. The seats take up more space than the boat. We got an inflatable for our dinghy instead of using the porta-bote.

Casey I have a Super Duty F250 with the V-10 engine. I put a cover over the bed. I consistently get just over 15MPG at 65-70MPH not towing. I get just under 12MPG towing my little Alumaweld that weighs about 2500# on the trailer with gas and gear. I haven't towed Cocoon enough to get a towing...

That is one of the most dangerous and annoying things you could possibly do. I've driven over 3.5 million miles. I never permitted anyone to pull a stunt like that unless they were in radio contact with me and a few underlying conditions.

How about that for a manufacturer going above and beyond?

Best of luck, Greg. My wife and I along with 2 small dogs will be starting the Loop this March. I've done a lot of boating, but this is the largest boat I have ever owned. We bought the boat with extended cruising in mind. We didn't want anything larger, because I will be basically...
