OK add one more to the gathering. My buddy here in Victoria is a proud new owner of a 22 from his son in Seattle. He has brought the boat to Victoria and will be coming over with me on Friday for the gathering. I am assuming he and his wife will be coming with me to the dinner at the Rumor...

Ok I put on the new props this weekend and took her out for a short run. I was in about 8k of wind with a low chop. The new props. Honda 12.1x9x3. (Remember I don't have trim tabs) Now I assume that the engines have governors on them and that they wont go over 6000 rpms notwithstanding what...

Yes Harvey I was in FH a couple of weeks ago. I try to get over there as often as possible. You can usually find me in the Blue Water the China Pearl or the Rumor Mill. I don't go to Herbs any more since it was bought out by some non Islanders that have really changed the place and not for the...

I will be attending Friday night for sure. Please let me know what restaurant is planned and a time. My buddy Charles owns the Blue Water and China Pearl, and my friend Peggy owns the Rumor Mill. All good choices. I will be staying at the RVYC berths at the end of C dock arriving Friday...

Unfortunately this event is exactly the same weekend as our big event at the yacht club. The Commodores cruise. I am going to try to do both by attending one night at the C brats gathering and then 1 night at the Clubs cruise. What is scheduled for Friday night and Saturday night??? I am...

Ok I have taken in my Michigan Wheel Vortec 11.5 x 10p x 4 props into a guy who magically changes them into different props. He is going to keep the cup but move the pitch to 9. Also they will be tuned, blasted and repainted nice and new. I will be putting them on my BF40a twin Honda's in the...

Done. They are no longer available at my photos.

Hey I had a great time getting to meet many of the C-Brats who came to the Victoria Gathering this past weekend. I forgot my Camera (and my wine) so I had to take pictures with my phone. If you are interested I have created an album at my photos location of my boat. Check it out. Thanks to...

It is sooo funny how people all have their horror story of a Border Agent. I for one think it is completely the other way around. I go into the US 5 to 10 times a year. I have only had one bad experience in the last 11 years in FH when I meet up with a woman who wanted to prove she was in...

Well he may be a jerk to you because he did something that a large part of society does daily by having a few too many drinks before driving (in fact Hawaii promotes alcohol consumption by tourists,) (not an excuse or making it right) but you are terribly mistaken on the laws of Canada and...

?? Campbell is not the PM of BC. He was once the Premier but never the Prime Minister. And that was years ago 2003 to be exact what does it have to do with what people need to think about when going across the border? What laws was he supposed to change in BC because he was over the limit in...

DONT DO IT. Unless you lie (not advised) Canada has a 235% duty on booze. Our alcohol here is extremely taxed. Yes that is the duty. That number is not a misprint. If you bring any into the country over your allotted amount they will charge you the duty so that you are paying all the Canada taxes.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like another crotch rocket kid driving too fast. Very very lucky.

Is the Pot luck Sat night??? Is it located on the docks or a number of boats?. I will be there Friday night on my Bike and stay from 3 to 6. Then I will be bringing C-Hawk over mid morning on Sat and staying the night on her.

I just got marked Mid-grade fuel at the Co op for $127.9 a liter. Higher octane for less. Look into it.

I have ended up draining out over 20 gallons of fuel. ( what's that about 100 bucks I guess and replaced the racor) actually it was two of them so add that to the $1026 bill that was bad experience. I have since taken the engines back to the Marine center. Got them running smooth and have put...

I know I was a little flippant with my reply however, I do own a Chevy Silverado 2013 1500 with a 325 ci engine and tow package. All I can say is I tow my 22 cruiser on 25 foot King trailer and I would not want to tackle any long mountain hauls unless I took out a new mortgage for the fuel...

Talked to Friday Harbor they denied everything. As I expected. Lesson to self don't buy gas there.

Probably, but you will be near the limit if the boat is fully loaded. Now mind you if you had a Chevy Silverado 1500 you could tow up to 10000 and would have no problems. Maybe buy the 25 and get a new Chevy :lol:

OK thanks I found all of the posts from the previous owner. Interesting. I understand the water issue I will work on that. I do not however understand the sludge /rust/ metal/issue that the tank had when they are plastic. Yes my vents are as was stated by sunbeam. That will be changed pronto.
