I'm towing my 16 in Fl with an 89 Chevy Celebrity wagon that has 215K. I picked my 16 up in Mississippi with this car as well. I don't go over 60 and take off slow and I'm careful with everything. I changed the transmission fluid when I came back from Mississippi. If moneys no object to Hell...

Sorry it appeared I disappeared, I have been bounced off this sight a few times and recently figured my way back on. Joyce and I talked about maybe doing Salt Springs a day or two before the event, I mentioned I liked the idea but we needed a back up because of weather conditions on Lk George...

In August I launched from Holly Bluff Marina thats in the middle of the St Johns R and took my 16 cruiser to Savannah and back, 800 miles. It was my first real trip on the boat, I spent two weeks. I got my moneys worth out of Sea Tow, I spun my prop out on the first day. I was towed back to...

Hi I'm Cliff down in Fl I've got a 22lb delta if you are interested. Offer a fair price and it's your's, also I'd like you to cover the shipping as well. When it was shipped to me it showed up at door with label on anchor LOL. 352 735 1601 djjimicliff@yahoo.com

I'm a 16 and I am passionate about my boat you'll love the way it handels. If you do not have trim tabs get them if you have them learn how to use them they are magic. Rough water shove the bow down in the water speed 10 to 12 and the boat will just cut threw the chop. You of course remember...

I was heading north on the ICW from Jacksonville to Fernandina and saw a C Dory in a boat house on my Port I think it had a Honda I couldn't read the name well enough. It was maybe a 22?

Please send them if you can. If it doesnt work I'd like to visit just because we're neighbors, I'm in Mt Dora, I've run the Ocklawaha for years. Where you left your car and trailer are what I'd like to know as well ok, Thanks Cliff djjimicliff@yahoo.com

Ok I'm ready for everybody to kick my ass on this one, I have received great service from Sea Tow, just anchor and wait. Whats the deal no extra anything, noise, fuel, maintaince, oh did I forget money? My first Sea Tow bill made all of my investment of dues return plus a 50% profit. No I don't...

You seem to be careful with your money, may I suggest looking at "Mr Heater" you can get it on amazon. It runs on a small canister of LP and can be adapted to a big tank with no real problem. Its the price that knocks me out $90 and it's good. If you've got the money I guess it's not an issue...

I have taken my plow anchor off the bow of my 16, it is much to difficult to work from the bow. I am launching & raising the anchor from the rear now, it is still is running thru the bow roller but I am using one of my bumpers as a buoy for the anchor. What that means is I can pull the anchor...

Mary I can remember coming up to you from the canal and I couldn't imagine how nice the picture of the Queen was framed in the tree canape with out seeing it first. Thats how the Ocklawaha river looks except it has curve after curve. Tell Casey thanks for taking the measurements he took of my...

If you were with us at Hontoon Island in the St Johns river in central Fl you know what a perfect time we all had. All 17 boats were docked together and everyone slept on their boats as well. We ate outdoors together followed by a great fire. Saturday morning Stan Majors of Deland brought...

Since everyone is vollentering I'll bring my fire tool and starter and manage the fire. I'll even bring music if thats cool.

Thanks for the pics of your cooler placement I have not considered that before. Its got me thinking too, we just need someone who's done it before us. I'm thinking about some foam type of material to level it, then a strap to connect to a peice of hard ware on the inside to keep it in place.

Sorry about Cooler name I put it in the subject box. The company is "Pelican" model 65Q-MC Elite the camera industry has been using them for years because of the water tight seal.

This box is expensive but it really does the job. The day before I use it I put a package of Dry Ice into it to get the cooler COLD. When I load the cooler the next day I throw the dry ice away because if I leave it in everything freezes. After three days the ice was down maybe 20%. It's around...

Time is everything here because the river is in constant Flux. THe Ocklawaha river boats were made in Palatka just 5/6 miles from the mouth. They ran to Silver Springs, It was a very popular for a europeans to take a cruise threw the jungle over night, how cool was that. 1859 the "General" was...

I have run it completely twice in a 13ft Whaler from Mt Dora to Jax. I carry a chain saw I bought at a pawn shop so I can destroy it with no guilt. The trick is you have to have a spotter on the bow. You have to run at idle. Some of the trees are just below the surface thats why you need the...

My wiper shaft has frozen inside it's tube. I see that I need to lubricate this shaft or do what ever I need to do to free it's movement. The handels that I reach for to move the wiper have what appears to be an allen nut to hold it to the shaft. Here's my problem, neither an english or metric...

Here's some more Ocklawaha details, the name as you may have guessed is Indian and it means "Crooked Water". The sourse is the Harris chain of lakes and the Silver River better known as "Silver Springs". In the 30's a work reclamation program was started for a Cross Fl barge canal. Since the...
