Are satalite dishes an option in more, mountainous remote areas like SE AK?

I looked at a lot of boats and have decided on a 25 cd crusier when the time comes in a few years, for me the extra nearly 3' of cabin, shower, more room for a dingy, head not where I sleep and living aboard for 4 months at a time swayed me for the bigger boat, each boater will have different...

thanks, I misread which boat was which.

SalmonFisher. how do you like the twin 40's on the 25'cruiser? pros/cons...everything Honky DORY....that was bad.

I will be around, there will no doubt be many more questions come to mind as the time nears and I doubt there is a better place to ask them than here. I may not even get thru the written material before the time to buy and outfit arrives, lots of great reading there, for shur!

I looked a some online and they were the front runner in my mind till I decided the Dorys suited my needs overall for a lot less money and the "beachable" factor really interests me, but who knows? when the time comes I may end up with a 12' canoe with a one lung steam engine with a sidewheel. I...

Thanks Jay,I think I have a pretty good handle on the outboard..twin/single thing and general fuel consumption from folks here and the performance charts,considering loads and managing trims and a handfull of other variables. I would definitely put any extra weight into extra fuel capacity. I...

I would have to agree based on all the photos I have seen, to me it seemed to be more so on the CD25 than the other CD's. It may be part of the Dory style?,I have a 18' plank hull Pacific City Dory in the back yard I was going to restore in 1973 or thereabouts but never got around to it. It is...

I guess I should have said that my concern was economy compared to the 7-9 knt work boats I have ran before and any pro/con with splitting your horsepower between two engines, as for living aboard, my only stops at towns, or tenders would be for fuel, water, general resupply, so I like the 9'...

Thanks for the offer John, I am long ways from choosing yet but will keep your offer in mind. I liked the cabin room on the 25 and ran 7 knts for quite a few years on a work boat, and it did not hurt me any, and I probably saw more than had I been a shootin" and a scootin"with most of the hull...

I have thought about one of the smaller boats, I plan on living on it for 4 months or more out of the year so the xtra room is one of the factors, I have had on my mind, but nothing is etched in stone at this point.Between the archives and all the experience on this forum and my having to...

thanks for the quick replies, I will spend a lot of time in the archives as it has been a long time since I have skippered more than an old 18' wooden hull rig fishing on some local lakes the last dozen years or so. I did like the looks of the Sea Sport but could not see any need for the extra...

t has been over 35 years since I have had REAL boat under me, I ran a 34' refitted steel hull lifeboat with a 300CI ford engine, from Seattle to SE Alaska and back for 5 seasons, 7 knots wide open with the tide and wind on your back side, with no lift at all on the bow with this style, it would...
