I have room overlooking the Methow in Carlton if you want to fly fish over on the dry side. Hwy 20 should be open soon. Not very close to you but could be a short to medium term solution. Safe from human problems. We do get mice and wildfire, though drift boats are easy to move and not so...

Gusts to 26 should be alright if ya keep the speed down. It will handle better on the trailer than it will in a tight boat launch. We live in a trailer for a good portion of the year, and it seems we are always checking wind. The boat is a pleasure to tow vs our little 18 foot trailer and I...

Is 50 the “old man” cutoff? I’m gettin’ real close! With two kids and a dog on a 22, things are mighty snug and trips very busy. This largely accounts for the lack of video recording, editing, and posting from those with young families (many of us also dont want video of our kids on the...

You could save a lot of money by using a 20$ 5 gallon can, taking that safety spout off and dumping into a large 10$ funnel. This is how I fill tractor, c dory, well..everything. The EPA spout is for looks.

When I last looked into this I had the impression that the electric motor industry wants to convince the consumer that we all have “range anxiety” (their words not mine), and that we don’t actually use our boats to cruise. That may be true in many boats, but not so true for cbrats! I will swap...

The problem we have had is not in overall accuracy but in signal reception. The ipad is usually fine but from time to time lags in fixing a position and often shows us facing the wrong direction. It just seems to struggle sometimes to hit those satellites. No issues with the charts or...

Over hull speed the plugs go in or the muffs go on in our boat. Reduces operating fatigue, protects hearing (especially that of my kids), is a good reminder that you are operating a dangerous machine, and solves acoustic issues for pennies on the dollar. Plus if you go the muffs route, you...

Jay The ipad we use is one year old now and a dedicated boat tablet for us. I believe its shortcomings are in the gps receiver size and location (inside the boat). Maybe I should clarify that I WOULD leave the dock with an ipad as my primary navigation, but expect to do as you have done and...

I REALLY wanted to use an ipad with navionics as a primary navigation tool. Last summer I tried it in the San Juans and it failed multiple times. The gps was slow to respond or showed us at a location or heading that was inaccurate enough that following it would have put us in a bad place...

Which part of the Columbia? I go slow and often run outside to see what’s under the boat…. That’s upper reaches for ya. Navionics has been mediocre for me above Wells Dam. The main channel is marked (and its NOT where you expect it to be), but rocks and shallows are only moderately to poorly...

I believe my 22’ on a tandem trailer exceeds that height. High arch with radome on top. There are variable trailer heights and radar arches, and the trucking company really wants to know: “can we drive THIS boat under standard bridge heights without ripping the top off? I would hesitate to...

WHOA. That is impressive.

Slide mount for an antenna or rod holder? Best guess

Ok so not a 25 or tomcat, but I am currently sitting in our 22 cruiser with my wife and two kids. We’ve been aboard for 30 days now, with only a few stops to provision. It became clear to us weeks ago that the space under the galley is the least efficient space on our boat for storing food...

I Saw a stabicraft on Sucia island at the dock two nights ago. Dont think it was the ultracab. It appeared to be built like a tank, and had the character of one. I noticed High quality welds where you might find rivets on similar styled aluminum fishing boats in the Northwest. It seemed like...

Said howdy to Raven at the Cap Sante fuel dock. Thanks for letting us see inside the 25!

I roll slow on downhill runs, way under speed limit unless theres an 18 wheeler bearing down on me. Uphill I’ll go faster and pass the big trucks again. Level ground it seems like there’s always wind and crazy people so right lane and 5 under is about right for me. Exception: Texas metro areas...

I have never attempted to make a reservation at Stehekin, and would contact the lodge directly about that if you are concerned. Every time I have visited there was a first come first serve scenario. Expect smoke blowing over from the Methow, although it will probably blow in and out of...
