The above Yahoo link is Yamaha Source advertisement based on a report by J.D. Power and Associates. I've been hearing about J.D. Power and Associates in several advertisements. Do any of you know much about them? I don't and was curious what their background is, where they get their money...

Yep, I remember the waiting and anticipation. I thought the boat would never be completed..... Then the ear to ear grin the first time I took it for a spin. :mrgreen: Hang in there Gary.

Coincidence? I think not.... there are strange and powerful forces at work here. :shock: (fades away to the music from the Twilight Zone). Congratulations, Pat & Patty.

Congratulations David, and welcome to the fold David & Jo! Now we have to find new owners for Daydream 22 and Laurna Jo 22. :thup

I'll throw my 2 cents in here. The 25' is 10 inches wider, 3 ft. longer and about 1200 lbs. heavier than the 22'. The 1200 lbs. is just the extra hull weight. You have to consider that you'll be using a larger motor, bigger fuel tanks, and because there is more storage in the 25' you'll be...

By the way, this Cathlamet gathering is guaranteed to be JOYous. :D

Sturgeon? Did someone mention sturgeon? Well let me tell you, the best sturgeon fishing will be at the C-brat 2nd annual sturgeon Festival at Warrenton Oregon. Just as soon as Tyboo or Tim figure out a date. You won't want to miss this event.

Elucidating? I didn't think we were allowed to use words like that in the pub. :disgust I had to look that one up. A wordsmith I ain't. :mrgreen: Not a fish biologist either. I was just remembering back to my subscriptions to Salmon, Trout & Steelheader Magazine. But to clarify...

Salmon prefer cooler water. Approx. 40 to 56 degrees F. seems to make them the most fiesty and active. Below 40 they are more sluggish, above 56 the are more lethargic. That's probably a good reason why they turn north when they reach the ocean rather than south to the warmer water. You...

Thanks guys! I thought running Deception Pass at the flood was a hoot. It took me back to the days that I used to run my driftboat on the smaller rivers. Just a bigger boat in a bigger river. :mrgreen: Grab a handful of throttle and read the river currents. Unfamiliar water is a...

You guys are great, I sure appreciate this!

Larry H Did you pass through Porlier Pass to get to Silva, or another route?

Hey thanks Larry. I was busy typing my above post while you were posting yours. That is exactly the info I wanted.

Okay, here is my rough plan. Put in at Swantown, motor up to Gig Harbor. Gotta be careful going through Tacoma Narrows, can be rough. Should be traversed at slack or incoming tide. Spend the afternoon and evening wandering around the town of Gig Harbor. Day 2. Motor up Colvos Passage...

We have relatives that live 1 block from the False River Harbor in Vancouver, BC. Either this year or next, Helen and I want to journey there in the boat. I'm trying to figure out if going from Swantown to Vancouver is doable in 2 weeks. And of course, which route I should take. And...

Thank you Robbi & Larry. This is a wealth of information to someone planning an extended cruise in unfamiliar water. Tyboo Mike & Bill: We have a topic of "Cruises and Gatherings". It contains information almost exclusively on Gatherings. What do you think of the idea of splitting it into...

How long should it take to make a run from Gig to Cornet if I were to cruise at about 15 mph? (Saratoga Passage) I'm looking for alternatives to driving the bumpy stretch of I-5. Was thinking it might be fun to put in at Swantown in Olympia, spend the first night at Gig Harbor then head...

How bout directly after the Blakely gathering?

Well said, DeW. Welcome to the group.
