Warren is correct, check out Grizzly Claw. If you find the need to have a VERY durable bottom, Grizzly Claw will protect the high spots that make contact with the beach. It is simply the best way to protect the bottom or even the tubes in the event you use the inflatable to pull lines over the...

We have a 2006 Tomcat. The Wallas works fine while at the dock or at anchor. Every time it's heating under power at any speed it starts smoking. Some times it may have been heating just fine for an hour or more before it goes into the "SMOKE" mode. This happends at high, med, or low settings We...

Forrest, I cleaned ours with a plug of tobacco, theh two applications of Rainx. Same on toe inside to reduce condensation. Gary

The better question is, will the additional credentials keep the baddies from the sensitive areas? Of course not! The tail keeps waging the dog. Just another form of taxation Gary

IT's better to be on the dock wishing you were on the water than being on the water and wishing you were on the dock!

C-brats, Remember this is all for your protection. If this would have done in Aviation prior to 911 every airman on those stricken jets would have had security clearance and proper documentation. Those crazies that were flying at the time of impact could never obtained the clearance...

Got it! ! ! I just glanced thru the post about I-5, snow, hwy 101, etc and assumed you were towing the boat. If you are not comfortable on the northern part of Baja you might consider going from Tucson, Az to Guyamas/ San Carlos, Sonora about 300 mi of good divided hwy and a great marina in...

Joe and Warren, Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that the Tomcat was going to The Sea of Cortez. If I've got it right, you are going with a RV group an the Tomcat is staying in Ca. Gary

Warren, How far south are you going? Just browsing the site and found you are in Mexico. I've spent lots of time on the Baja, mostly with an aircraft. Had a home in San Carlos, Sonora, across from Santa Rosalia, for ten years. Beautiful country. Great people. Are you posting to another thread? I...

Pat, We have a Raymarine C80 chart plotter with all the current up dates. It is backed up by a Garmin 176C hand held GPS, with Marine Blue Charts, mounted on the port side for the co-pilot. Some paper charts, but used only for planing, never for navigation. This past two summers we made two...

Amigo II at Port Neville, BC

To quote from my son who is often ask " When is the best time to fish /hunt with you in Alaska?" His answer would be " After you are old enough to afford it, and before you are to old to enjoy it!" We have a pair of Honda 150s on the Amigo II, no cranking at all. Turn the key, one turn of the...

Mike, Good luck with the new puller. I assume your heading to PWS. Thirty plus years ago I did some prospecting for big prawns. I was using a Cessna 180 on floats. My son Butch I would set pots in different places and pull them by hand the next day. I got some hugh ones, but not enough to make...

Charlie, We have a 255 also. Having lived in Alaska most of my life, I have some knowledge of winterizing. The procedure you used sounds fine. Think like "water", where ever it gets trapped it will freeze. About the bilge pump. My first thought would be to check power at the pump. I've had to...
