I purchased my Dory from them as well. My experience was as bad if not worse than yours. I have complained to Greg multiple times. I dont think they really care.

well never made it to the keys. Damn Hurricane. Planning on going again Thanksgiving. On a side note, we may be selling the 26 for a larger boat.

Yes it is Calusa Island Safe Harbor Marina in Goodland. They charge $15 a day for boat and trailer parking. I told them I'd be there 7 nights and they said that was not a problem.

Everything depends on the sea state. Our plan is to go directly to key west from Marco Island, fill up and head to Tortugas. If the seas are to big we will run the coast and explore the upper and lower keys. No matter what we end up doing I'm on the boat and not at work. LOL.

Thanks for the reply. I think we will launch at Goodland. We are launching July 3rd and coming back the 11th. where we go certainty depend on the weather. i would never go out in 5-6 not even 3-4.

I'm looking for recomendations again on where to leave my truck and trailer for 7 days in Naples. We are heading to the Keys and weather permitting to the Dry Tortugas. Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestions. Look like we are going to give Centennial park a try.

Anybody know of a good place to launch the boat and leave the truck and trailer for 5 days? Looking around Sarasota area.

I have a 26 venture that i launch by myself all the time no problems. I also tow the boat with a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4. never had any problems towing, even at 70 mph. Fully loaded for a two week cruse and 100 gallons of fuel. Brakes on the trailer are a must. JUST TAKE YOUR TIME.

We will be launching at Villano as well. North a few miles on the right is a state park. Beach it and you can walk miles of trails. Matanzas is a great beach, watch out for the current it can get strong. The marina at marineland is great. Super nice people. Charged us little to nothing to stay...

we will be in the area on our 26 venture the 29-31. Starting at St Augustine heading south.

I tented my 26. Nothing on the front. 20% along the sides, and 45% on the back. Made a big differance. We had 70% on the front but was to dark in low light.

We use a bed of peat moss at the bottom and a hand full between each use. No need to stir. The fan does a good job at drying things out. Still new to it, but so far we like it.

Just installed a Separett Weekended compost toile in my venture 26. I only have a 4 day trip under my belt with it, but couldn't be happier. no more smell in the boat.
