Baxter,23 Venture, has traveled coast to coast and parking secure is biggest problem we face on the trips. I am willing to pay reasonable amount. We use campgrounds and motels on the way, live in Wyoming, so lots of miles. Motels are the worse for parking most times. We are planning on...

I have Venture 2006 and my seat is different. Sorrry

For years Have used I Pad with CELL GPS in it no ned to activate it with service just buy the one that is cell capabile. I have Raymarine it works fine but not as big and quick as the Ipad. Of course doesn't have radar. Funjo has a wireless radat $1000 that works with I pad. I already have...

Has onyone info on docking in Vancouver area as a overnight transit? Or any help or idea appreciated. Last time their was 1969? Heard things have changed there! Baxter, Sheridan, WY

I never would tow with it assembled. It will not hold together. On our 23' Venture we seldom used the sides and back. We share the bunk with them. However, we do roll and zipper case the bimi part and put it forward and strap to base of radar tower. However demending on time of year can pu...

I use I pad for nav. chart plotter for back up and then paper for back up. I am old and do not trust technology. Garmin maps my favorite with Active captain and can get tides and currents and real time (4-6 minute delay) overlay weather for storms moving in. I pad my favorited. Not...

I jumped to quick on fuel tanks. I do not like in cabin and bunk. It is sad though that most boat builders/designers do not take into account weight in balance. When flying I was very sensitive to this issue as can cause planes to stall. My 23Venture is a bit to heavy in stern with 60...

Good question but I can think of no reason to do this. So put tanks in back. Save your body. Baxter

I have a 21' Redwing pocket cruiser that has been used Chesapeake Bay and other places. Sleeps 2. Did Trent Severn Canal etc. Lauched 2012 with new Yamaha 25 high thrust. Aluminum trailer. Chesapeake Bay design. I am not trying to sell it here but I have been trying for two years and would...

I am a bit late on this topic and I think all that is said is true. I don't fly anymore I lost my medical. But the radio comm is not good on the water. repeating what has been said MONITOR 16 it may save your or someone else life. Baxter

I have travelled coast to coast with trailer been on Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, Mississippi River, Lake Yellowstone with our Venture 23. The comments in gas stations or other non marine places are "neat boat". On East coast marinas that I am usually the smallest boat no one interested. In...

I have searched every where to find a Honda BA 50 replacement switch. Boats US and Honda Marine have not helped much. Say not available. We are headed to Friday Harbor gathering and only can start on engine. Is there any kind of generic switch one can use? OFF, ON, START. each mounted...

Yesterday in Sheridan WY it was 60 F this am woke to 12+ inches of fresh Spring snow. 20 F tonight and 50 F tomorrow I am trying to ready Baxter II with some wiring additions but to cold. Took plow off Sunday so can't get out anyway. What might we expect in Bellingham and Friday Harbor...

Does anyone have a safe proven way to install and gas gen. on a C-dory so we don't CO ourselves? I have a 23 Venture. I have no room for solar as that is where my zodiac sits. Thank you

Having heard many different stories on this ban. So went to the govt. Source. Transportation Canada has ruled that a porta pottie is a legal toilet with a portable holding tank. Makes sense to me. Ontario however apparently over ruled the the national agency and they are forbidden there. 3...

I just found out Ontario, CA has ban on porti potties all all boats. Don't know if this is a trend. I see their logic in they don't want them dumped in water or on shore. I empty at marinas. in 5 years no one has charged me for doing that. I think what they are encouraging is people just...

thanks to all responses. I have installed and tried the other day. I am very satisfied with the performance. THANS[/b]

I am new to cruising Pacific Northwest, all Atlantic Cruising, etc. For those places it is easy to buy chart books. I am having trouble finding paper charts I need. I have a chart plotter but I am old guy and I like paper in my hand not electrons. Does anyone have a recommendation of a...

Thanks. I do not have the 22' I have the 23' Venture but I suspect would work similar, it has two twin Honda 50 hp. Thanks to all.
