Pat - hi! I had just answered Peter when your comment came in - I will definitely do the research on a prop for higher altitude - it's not going to keep me off Lake Powell in the meantime, though! I guess I'll meet you there this September?

Thanks - I did some looking into props and it would seem that mine is pretty standard - but you did bring up a very good point about altitude. I hadn't thought of that, but when I looked up the altitude of the lake we were on, I found it is close to 7000 ft. The boat came from sea level. Could...

Hi all, So we finally got our new (used) 22 out on the water. She's got a 90hp BF90 with 13.5 x 15 prop. The previous owner couldn't remember if he'd run the fuel out when last used in Sept or so of '08 - I didn't get back east to pick her up until March of this year. I ran the moter and she...

Hi, I just got home recently to Moab, UT. with our new, used 22' cruiser after driving across the country from Virginia. I managed to avoid snow but had quite an ordeal in Kansas with some huge thunderstorms. Anyway, the boat is safe at home in the desert - a 2 1/2 hr drive from Lake Powell...

After reading about all your fine adventures and having been looking now for several months, we finally purchased a 22 Cruiser. Of course, it's in Virginia and we're in Utah, but that's a minor detail to be worked out later. We'll have it in time for many long weekends on Lake Powell in the...

This was one election where I don't think we had a bad choice for a change. Certainly there are core issues and beliefs that would swing you one way or the other, but at least either candidate, I think, was willing to take us down a different road from the last 8 years.

We live in Moab - not far from Lake Powell. We, too had planned to spend a week on Lake Powell this January - but that's when we thought we were getting a boat this month. That didn't work out, so our plans are on hold. I would certainly give it a go. Just check out the forecast. The weather...

The price on this boat was raised to $40,000 - I just noticed the revised listing this morning.

I'm liking the hoist, double duty thing for the kicker. Thanks for mentioning it. Do you use a long shaft? anything special to be aware of when it comes to having a mount installed?

So we may be on our way to a 25 here despite what the market did today (makes it all kind of scary!), but the boat we're looking at has no kicker. I've searched through the site and found a few helpful comments, but who out there has something to say about what the best hp might be and what to...

Thanks all - we have a one ton dually Duramax (2007) and we are used to hauling loads up around 11,000 lbs. While a 22 would certainly be easier, I guess we'll just take our time and get places when we get there. Since we live in Moab, Lake Powell will be a common destination. Flaming Gorge and...

So - we've pretty much decided to look for a 25' Cruiser (after looking at boats at Lake Powell earlier this week - thanks to to all the folks who showed off their boats to us!) Now comes the job of comparing the prices of the used boats out there and decidding what might be the best boat for...

Things don't seem to be working out to visit with Daydream and Cavu - although Pat and Ken did their very best to accomodate us. By the time we arrive, they'll be out enjoying the lake - I'm jealous! So my question is: Is there anyone arriving Tuesday or Wednesday morning who wouldn't mind...

Hello, Nancy and I live in Moab - we have been planning for a long time to come to lake Powell to see some of the boats gathering there - specifically Dreamer and Cavu - but also others. We had planned on arriving Monday, but now can't make it until Tuesday very likely. I had the thought that...

Are you sure you can't squeeze in a trip before or after the ceremony? Seems a shame to let a little thing like a wedding interfere.... Congrats on the wedding - enjoy the weekend! Is Lydia the first one out of the nest?

We don't do hats, but our business is supplying custome enaemlled lapel pins and embroidered patches mostly to National Parks and Wildlife Refuges all over the country. If there is interest, I would be willing to do up a batch of patches or pins for the C-Brats if someone had suitable art. I'm...

I'm in! I haven't got a boat yet, but I spend so many hours reading this site - I figure by donating 5 bucks, It's about 2 cents an hour! Thanks guys for all the hard work! No tackiness at all!

I've read what threads I could find on Ventures, but did not really find anything on the Venture 26. Any thoughts on the advantages or disadvantages of that boat vs a 25 Cruiser would be of interest. My wife saw a Venture yesterday and liked it, but has not yet seen a 25 cruiser. Thanks in...

That was a good idea, Bris, to discuss the two engines vs one....I'd be interested in that as I have yet to decide. Of course, if I buy usd, that decision will be made for me!

OK - this is way too weird...I just got off the phone 30 minutes ago with my wife who is in Anchorage right now. She went to AMD today to look at C-Dorys and saw the R25 there and fell in love with it. I, in turn, had the same questions about how it would handle the Alaskan tides. Then I tune...
