Jody, Looks good! I'm following your thread closely. I plan to use the same Victron charger. Other than the cables between your starter battery to the DC to DC charger, is there any wiring or switch between the two batteries? Could you start your outboard engine from the house battery if needed?

That seems like an excellent compromise - the best of both choices! This way you can make the CBGT I'm planning at Lake Powell in mid October of 2023. Yes, I plan ahead... Actually, the Annular Solar Eclipse passes right over in the middle of the day on Oct. 14th. So don't book your 2023...

From BoatTEST.com. Looks like a nice boat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQoliJdBm9Y

Pretty fancy galley countertop! Looks very nice.

If things don't open up by next boating season, Those of us cruising in the San Juan Island should make it a point to go to Point Roberts, buy some fuel and lunch, and maybe even some tchotchkes. Maybe we should even consider a CBGT there?

Atascadero, California?

Can we speculate that perhaps Jody has something to do with the appearance and disappearance of the of the Utah Monolith? :shock:

Jody, I'm thinking of your same setup with the same Victron DC-DC charger on a 100ah Battle Born lithium battery. However I am concerned about overheating the Suzuki's 40 amp alternator since lithium batteries can take a tremendous amount of amps when charging. I know the Victron is limited to...

The non-Sport Venture 23 also comes with many items already bundled, i.e. trim tabs, shore power, windshield wipers, dual batteries & refrigerator. All of which you can have added individually to a Sport.

Great lead up to what I hope will be a fun adventure. Please keep us posted. I intend to check out Lake Havasu in the years to come, as well as Powell, so I look forward to your reports!

It was great to see this election's level of voter participation in the 3rd most democratic country in North America!

This is exactly the reason my wife and I retained our Arizona residency rather than in Washington where we stay "just over half the year" despite having a State income tax advantage in WA - so that our votes actually count in AZ. Arizona had been looking a little purple for the last few years...

Harvey, Thanks for getting this going. I'm not much of a photographer, so probably won't be contributing, but would be a calendar buyer ONLY if you can assure 2021 will be a better year than this one! :disgust

Isn't CBrats like Hotel California, You can check out any time you like But you can never leave?

I too am considering upgrading my truck to either of those choices. Have a '05 Tacoma V6 that does a decent job on the 22, but now that I'm going to the Venture 23 and our our future plan is to occasionally take it to a few inland lakes like Powell, we think we'll be more comfortable with a...

Yep, not until there is a plan. So far none. If we're lucky a plan will go into effect on January 20th if all goes well... A few weeks ago we cruised right by the corner of the water border as we headed to Stuart Island from Patos. Could easily see homes along the edge of Saturna Island and...

I've studied these a bit for a camper application. Complaints I've heard about these Russian & Chinese Espar knock offs are that they are quite noisy. Of course this is hearsay and not admissible in a court of law. :o

Currently, there is a C-Dory 22 Cruiser that can be seen in one of the frames of the Rosario Resort Live Cam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mjke0IYOwk I wonder who it is, and if they are a Cbrat?

Earlier this week C-Sharp went to its new owner and I know he will enjoy her as much as I did. Contradictory to that old worn out adage about the day you buy and sell a boat, it was very sad for me to see her drive off. But the good news is that Jim the new owner lives just the next island over...
