Yeah, I did this once on a parks mooring buoy. I'm not confident with my anchoring skills, almost want to jump over the side and freedive to make sure it is good and secure every time. Glad it ended well.

Glad it has narrowed down! How many hours on your engines? I have the exact same one so need to plan for eventual replacement

Down in Victoria the depths prawning happens in is usually 350-200 feet and current is a huge factor in even getting the weighted traps and 7-8lb weight on the weighted line to the bottom. Following the last post temperature may be a factor, if it’s warm out they may be deeper but reading 600...

There are some pretty cool catamaran inflatables out of Australia and NZ that are sold in the US. Paddle boards are a great solution. Take a lesson and you will find them amazingly stable. I have a 22lb red paddle that is great for shore trips. We still have our Alaskan but I loathe to use it...

I would go for Zodiac Cadet as it has an inflatable keel and seems reasonably priced. We had our floor repaired on our Alaska series and it is leaking again. https://www.zodiac-nautic.com/en/shop/p ... t-roll-up/

If it’s anywhere near Eastpoint I would see if Marc at Wefings marine could do an inspection. I’ve found surveyors to be useless at finding deficiencies and marginal about documenting what is on a boat and placing a value on it.

Thanks the paper version is a bit of a pain so looking forward to trying the digital version. Essential for fishing for halibut around Victoria!

I'd bring an anchor with lots of rope and a dcs radio with built-in GPS or nmea networked to your gps. If you loose power, wind and tide can put you into dangerous spots but an anchor can keep you off the rocks or in one place for a tow. I have both handheld and fixed mount standard horizon...

If you send me your iPhone cell number I will try and snap some pictures of it.

Anchored up next to a nice couple with their dog and daughter at Portland Island Princess Cove Friday night, after seeing a 19 Angler that was fishing for Ling’s inside the Victoria breakwater as we headed did Halibut and Prawns Thursday.

Any of the raise roof rail Thule and Yakima feet should work. You will want small jaws if you get an old set. Usually found on Craigslist used for 100~ 200

I’ve seen a few pictures and I believe a recent video posted on the C-Dory group featured one that had been cut out. If I didn’t have 3+ years of napping kids ahead of me I’d do it!

So my son can sleep in my arms while I’m at the helm on rough days, so we can land tyee a 30 lb salmon with just two guys on the boat, for dock to dock auto routing on Lowrance, to have a rear helm using a second Lowrance Hds, so I can get traps ready while someone watches for debris in the...

Thanks I need one little part off a BF150. I'll reach out to them. How many hours did you have on it and what happened? Hope mine lasts long and prosper or I'll go black like you!

Looks great. You are keeping your Honda kicker? I have the dual Honda binnacle so feel married to my Honda’s, but would love another 50 ponies. Taking it Tuna fishing this year?

Possible, 10+ years of technology change and an optimized setup may give you a better range. Let us know.

I’ll be following your trip. We have the same boat almost exactly. We have a 2hp Honda that is a little bulky, you can find them used for 4-600$. Using our Honda 9.9 on a dingy especially our Alaskan is a nightmare pipe dream. I would look at a light electric motor with a separate 12v battery...

I’d check if it has the full tow package installed, also is a weight distribution hitch recommended to tow that much weight? I bet it is since it is for a Tundra.

Wow that’s a fully loaded 25 at a great price. Should go quick!

Sounds like a deal. With business being slow for me fishing lessons are available! A good day on the water better then any day in the office. Rumours of my wife getting vaccinated in BC soon, as she is a vice principle. I’ll check in with some tourism buddies to see how their talks with...
