For two summers in a row we cruised Ontario waters including the Rideau with a porta -potty with no problems.Not sure it's strictly legal but it doesn't seem to be an issue.Enjoy the Rideau.

David- With the stock prop & WOT we get about 5200 RPM. She seems to like 4400 for cruising and GPS says 25 knots .Of course on the loop trip when we checked mileage occasionally it was mostly just me & Linda. I imagine 2or3 extra people can make a difference. Good luck with the fishing. Alan

Dave- just realized you also have the Cape Cruiser so no weight difference-I'll check mpg again ext time out. Alan

Hi David- The Honda has an aluminum 15x17 on it. I need to check my mpg again next time out but one possibility might be that the Cape Cruiser is lighter than the Venture even though the hull shape is the same. How has the offshore fishing been lately? Alan

We have a 2006 23 Cape Cruiser with a Honda 135 and we've cruised about 8000 nautical miles on her and we're very happy with it. However we have only briefly been on a C Dory so we don't have enough experience to compare .I do think they are both quality boats.

hi Jim & Loree- We know you're enjoying the Alaska cruise-awesome place.We also have cool weather up here in the Apostles & island hopping is fun.They say this is the coolest July on record on Lake Superior but we're not complaining at all. We'll follow your cruise on C brats. Enjoy.

After 8 months on land we were ready for some more cruising. We decided to trailer the boat to Lake Superior and cruise the Apostle Islands. We departed Fla on June 28 and camped on our way up in the boat at State Parks in Rogersville, Al(Wheeler), Rend Lake in Southern Illinois and Starved Rock...
