Bill and El,
I am hoping to motor up Interstate 80 from Sacramento, and meet you
at Flaming Gorge on September 2 or 3 (keeping in mind Bill's repeated
admonitions not to get schedule-bound). I wil also follow down to
Lake Powell, as liesure permits......
I also will highly recommend Bill Burkhart at Outboard Motor Shop in
Oakland. They have two CD-25's on their lot, one with green highlighting,
one blue, both with Honda 150hp outboards installed at the factory.
I was going to buy the blue one; but, ooops, I bought their last
Ranger 25 Tug...
Thanks, John, that was encouraging. The only time I have seen my new R-25 retrieved, Bill drove the boat the last 3 feet at about half throttle, just as you described. That'll be how I do it, too, once I hit the road.
Bear with me; this is my first-ever posting. Since I just bought my
Ranger Tug, Blue Bayou, 2 days ago, then took it out on San Francisco
Bay, I can now say that I plan to be at Lake Powell mid-September
and join the, what, flotilla, pod, fleet?
