Thanks Ferg sounds nice down there now, will have to plan on a return trip.

Really enjoyed our week stay there,we plan to bring boat back and truck camper. Last time we stayed in apartments right next to boat launch in southport. Probablly going to try campground up the river about 30 minutes have to look up name,can you recommend any Campgrounds near Southport or Oak...

In your post South Port N.C.,bought first boat there 2008 19ft Montauk whaler,really like that area. Baldhead Island, Cape fear river,ICW, Atlantic ocean all right there. Trim tabs havnt used them much yet,plan on trying to use them more,just never got around to it. Always heading somewhere...

I joined this site about 5 yrs before buying a boat. Great decision getting one. Marc Grove ,great place to deal with,knowing you get good service ,honest and follow up services when needed.

I think around $23 lb ,but we bought several items about 6 different things.The package is gone we ate it last night. When I asked woman how Halibut was she remarked about the price, suggesting its good and pricey,but understandable flying it in. Kusktaka will ask them about that next time. I...

Yesterday went to Wild Salmon ,a store in Bloomsburg area in Pa. They have a boat in Alaska and supply fresh caught seafood from there. They fly it in,been hearing about this store for years,it was on the news and a talk show. They have all the salmon species smoked or fresh,dips ect. Halibut...

Good to hear Phil thanks.

I left the decision up to Marc because he would know better than I. Told him it would be used in salt and freshwater. I don't remember which product he used,I did mention Dave Deem had his Ranger painted with him previously and highly recommends their services. So im not sure which paint he was...

Will be pulling boat in oct after being in water all season,Had it painted at Weffings last winter.Should you use a power washer or scrub by hand? Don't want to wear offpaint faster than I should. When anchored at beach seems like a good amount of the grime will come off in water. Next outing...

Congrats ,enjoy .

Really like a dual axel trailer,can make it to a safe pull off if 1 tire goes. If I was using a single I would change tires regularly,im changing my tires on dually every 5 yrs ,not going to push my luck,expierenced 2 flats last Jan on I-95 coming from cold to hot states.

Colby sounds like a white knuckle trip,I always try to watch for everything when wife is aboard. Last trip everyday was calling for afternoon thunderstorms,kept an eye on radar on I-Pad for weather. Seemed like if you wanted a perfect day ,you weren't going out. We stayed within miles of running...

Thanks,I believe its a ray marine,next time on boat will check. I was thinking if drift bags slowed you down you would be pushing throttle up more rpms and it would work. If its actual speed im glad I didn't waste money,will look in to a kicker for trolling. Maybee a dingy outboard would...

When your saying displacement speed ,you don't get up on plane correct? Or is it slowest speed on plane?What mph would this be? Just curious for trips when we are trying to conserve fuel.

I learned my lesson last season trying to make it to a lock 30 miles up the lake. After a pounding, fan falling from ceiling ect. I never rush anymore. As others have remarked slowing down for conditions is better then beating up your boat. I also notice the sideways roll if allowing bigger...

Also agree, its funny pulling into a marina and there are big boats everywhere,sailboats and Sea Rays ect. As your going by some remark nice boat,when they have boats 10xs as big. Boating or camping meet the nicest people. A lot of remarks about the C-Dory everywhere we go.

Fished Lake Erie last week ,caught walleyes ,perch,a 15lb catfish,and freshwater sheepshead,not the good eating sheepshead. Tried using auto pilot,but trying to stay between 1 and 2 mph,it keeps saying too slow for auto pilot. Anyone know what is lowest speed for auto pilot to run? Someone...

Thanks Bob,hope their not any of those brown recluse in the mix ,was shocked at the amount of them. Will spray before overnight. Guess those old docks are a breeding ground.

Just returned from a good trip. Been a while since last visit,the enclosure kept the boat fairly dry. But spiders were everywhere. Was surprised how many there were. Any ideas for ,killing any unseen ones on inside of cabin or berth? Said after leaving we should have sprayed something on the...

Last January we went to St Johns and Appalachacola, Want to boat near Jeckle Island ,Bald head Island area also ,maybe next trip. Near South port area,Oak Island Where the Cape fear river meets atlantic and ICW.
