Hi Roger, Sounds like a great trip! Thanks for the trip report and pictures. Will look forward to talking to you about it so I can plan to do the same thing. Welcome Home.

My answer would have been the 40s. But then I read lthe post from Les. I'm staying with the 40s. Really for the same reason that I have a 75HP. The added HP of the 40s or the in my case the 90 Honda does not buy you anything for the additional money.

Hi Pat, If you are wondering why I came up with that number its partly due to the fact that I am an engineer, and partly due to the fact its a good way to break the relatively high cost of the boat down to the treasurer......my wife.

That is indeed an incredible number of hours on the engine, she served you well!!! If my engine (75HP Honda ) lasts that long then doing the match it comes out to less than $3.50 per hour! Where can you get that kinda of value! :D

I pump it up once I get to where I'm going. Its rather clumsy. Salty Cs has towed their Zodiac and it does bring down the fuel economy. I have not found the ideal solution yet. I must say once I get mine pumped up its great. I put my 8hp kicker on there and its fantastic.

Yes my life raft is foir emergency only. I have a 10 foot zodiac for going ashore too. Ron

Hi Gary, I have a dedicated Winslow Life Raft. It is small in size stows under the drivers seat. It weighs 65lbs. It has a 406Mhz EPIRB, and a thermal floor to protect against the cold waters. When and if I ever needed it; I throw the liferaft in a bag overboard and it would deploy on its...

Roger, Sounds like you had a Lobster with attitude. How deep did you dive. See any fish?

Jon CLou, We probably know some of the same people. I have worked on all of those programs except the L1011. However I currently work with several of the alumni of the L1011 program.

I currently live in Thousand Oaks, CA. I do spend a couple of hours each week working in Palmdale CA. I'm a manufacturers rep for airborn and ground based telemetry hardware and software. This stuff is used mostly for flight testing of aircarft. If you have lived in Palmdale you of course...

Hi All, I took Islander out yesterday with some friends to look for some Gray Whales. They are making their way North back to the summer grounds in Alaska. We were fortunate enough to find several Whales just three miles out of the harbor entrance. We meet up with Sealife Mike and went in...
