One bit of advice - be sure you fuel up your tow rigs in the Tri Cities before you head off to Lewiston, it's a long ways through the middle of no where with very limited refueling possibilities, and no cell service. Call each of the marinas you are planning stops at and be sure they will be...

Jim we did that trip in 2014 with Chack Chack, majestic and unforgettable. You might consider launching at Hells Canyon resort, they have a lot to leave your vehicles etc. You can read a brief description of our trip and stops in the Grand adventures forum - Lewiston to Astoria. Best Eric

I would read this before you trust your life to an inflatable PFD http://www.bethandevans.com/pdf/Uncontr ... 20Urge.pdf Eric

The Chack Chack is sold and will be off to its new owner next weekend

We have really been happy with the Suzuki DF 200 on our C Dory. Top speed is mid 30's but we rarely run it there, usually 18 - 25 knots. Cruises at around 20 knots at 4000. Best Eric

The Suzuki DF 200 is 2007 - around 520 hours The Honda 15 kicker has probably 20 hours if that, we just carry it as a get me home engine and haven't ever needed to use it. All the electronics go with the boat including radar and chartlplotter with radar overlay capability. Best Eric

Chack Chack came rigged with Suzuki DF 140 which is a well loved engine, but as we progressed with our Great Loop trip it was apparent the boat was underpowered when heavy with supplies and people. We repowered with a Suzuki DF 200 which has been a great engine for the boat. The extra speed I...

Hey Boris We do exactly what you described - engine down, trim tabs 100%, then after we are planning bring the trim tabs up for best boat speed at chosen RPM. Typically we will still be running with tabs at 60% and 40% up to 20 knots, then less as speed goes up. Trimming the engine up past 50%...

Thanks for the replies and insight We are in the process or replacing the lines and fittings and hopefully that will be the fix.

We decided to replace our surge brakes with an electric over hydraulic brake unit. In the end after looking at all the units out there we decided on an Actulink 1600 as it would give us the future option of anti lock braking. I reviewed the recommendations from each of the actuater...

We actually use the Auto Tether system Bob described. I think a very useful feature is the ability to add additional transmitters for your passengers that will alert you to a MOB situation that could otherwise go unnoticed when you are running the boat in the cabin, and have someone back in...

you can run an AIS app like Boat Watch on you iPAD that will give you a general idea of whats moving around you in in the fog as a supplement to your radar overlay on a chart plotter, as long as you have a an internet connection via your cell service. It was quite useful the last time we went...

There's a pair of new Fujinon Tecno Stabi Ts1232 on ebay right now with a $625 buy it now price. We have Canon 10x30 IS binoculars that are great but I remember reading a Practical Sailor review that said the Fujinons' were hands down the best Eric

Suprisingly the best resource for this trip is Malcolm Galatz's cruising guide - Boater's Guide to the Columbia and Snake Rivers. Even though it was published in 1997 its still accurate. We got our copy on Amazon from a used book dealer and I would be happy to loan it out. Evergreens River...
