thanx Joe... BTW, what is the purpose of the blue or green line that runs around your bow pulpit on the deck below your searchlight?

Well I found St Helens, Sand Island, Scapoose and Coon Island... It is about 11 miles St Helens and Scapoose. Coon Island is about 3 or 4 miles down river from Scapoose toward St Helens. Looks like a very nice place to spend some time and have some fun. Either place is about an eleven hour...

:crook Could be... but me thinks it best to keep the bottom paint wet and pretend to be around... as opposed to 'around'!!! :P

thanx... :smilep

Wow... I'm blown away... thanx people! :love How long do posts stay around? Me thinks I will need to re-read this several times just to get it through my thickness. Hope nobody gets upset if I try to milk it for even more information... it all seems like such good data. I'll re-read...

First some history... I didn't procure a CD because of all the things I have read on this and other sites... my spouse and I simply wanted a good fishing boat with a pilot house. We looked at several and with stupid blind luck, we ended up with a 22' CD... and boy do I feel lucky! We have now...

I wonder if State Farm would raise your premiums if they saw the photo of RedFox setting high and dry on the rocks? :lol: Seriously though you make a good point that I left out. The premiums are based on stated value... my $600/year is based on $50K...

Gee... OK. Where do I get one?

Thanx, Mike... I'm off to fire up Google Earth and MapQuest again!.. :roll:

Mike, just so you know, I pay about $600/year. But I am not in Alaska either...

On the subject od radar arches... I would like to get one... any recommendations?

I can't make this trip this year, but I would certainly like to get there next time... perhaps a little more advance notice would be of help too. Anyway, the main purpose of this message is to pinpoint where it is you are going. I looked at some maps and Google Earth and see at least one big...

I actually sank my first NCD boat once. I tied it to a dock with the stern 'aimed' toward the harbor. The wind was pushing at the stern and eventually swamped it. When I got back the boat was 'hanging' sideways under the water down the side of the dock. (Maybe this should go into the thread...

I use USAA for all my vehicles, boats and homes... I find them very competitive, but they will only insure boats up to $50K. After that they 'farm' you out to some other insurance company. So I insured my CD for $50K. I don't know about Alaska... but I can understand that it would be more and...

WOW... that's the kinda power I want! Where do I get me one of those M-60's complete with bow mount tripod? I bet with that I could get some respect from them there water skiers!

Great information... thanx... However, I do have a followup question or two. I am also concerned about my batteries and I do get freezing temperatures during the winter. My CD has four batteries; two house batteries and one for each engine. I have two large solar panels on the roof that seem to...

Boy, that sure made me laugh... so hard my gut hurt... thanx... :lol: I don't know that this is a tax dodge, although you are certainly welcome to feel that way. I think of it more as a tax benefit. BTW, Mark is not totally correct. In order to claim your boat as a second home there is no...

Is that a nautical term?

Here's a 'heads up' for everyone just in case you missed it... I heard on the news early this morning that people are getting emails that look like they are coming from the American Red Cross. The email asks for donations to help the families devastated by Hurricane Katrina. It looks...
