Launching the big guys at Lake Powell.

Here’s a link to a thread on Oyster Coolers that I posted on Wander the West. For folks cruising Lake Powell and in other warm places, the Oyster combined with a small compressor freezer would be a great way to keep food cold and safe.

Xenforo is great, my thanks to our Admins!

I finally got off my duff and repowered the Gregor tinnie with a Suzuki 25 (tiller, electric start and trim). I had intended to go to Sportcraft, but received a better quote from Indian Creek Sports in Kuna, Idaho. They were 200 miles closer, and also honored my Oregon residency, not charging...

I’m still looking for a nice 16 cruiser, but thinking about repowering my Gregor 14.5 skiff for use on the local ponds and Snake River impoundments. After talking to Larry Bigbee at Sportcraft about a 25 or 30 horse tiller engine, I’m undecided about going with Honda, or with a Suzuki. Both...

Does anyone have experience with this product? Purportedly will not strip wax. https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/p ... etail/8132 I’m considering it for use on my Northern Lite truck camper.

I don’t own a 25. Actually, I do not currently own a CDory. I’m hoping to pick up a 16 in the future, but I still don’t own a 25. :roll:

Sort of related to towing. I’m thinking of leaving the camper on the truck for the trip to and from Lake Powell. While I have launched the boat with the camper on, I have always backed down all the way on relatively short ramps. At Powell, the ramps are huge, and most people drive down, make...

Does anyone have a good work aroundif you lose a fuel pickup while on a cruise? My only thoughts would involve using a hose (portable tank?) to pull the fuel out of the crippled tank. Any other simple ideas?

I was just in at Sportcraft and noticed Suzuki is finally making long shaft for the 2.5. Approx $820...

Diana and I are planning on going to Lake Powell this fall. I’m curious if anyone else is interested. Depending on whether or not I get a permit to hunt sage grouse it could be mid to late September when we get there. I’d like the rendezvous to be towards the end of the month. I will ask...

I put some adhesive backed non-skid pads in the motor well years ago, and they are now starting to deteriorate and peel back. Any thoughts on how to get the sticky gunk off the gelcoat without hurting anything? Thanks in Advance!

Has anyone made or purchased zip in/out shade curtains for their bimini/camper back? If so, what type of shade cloth did you use, and how did it work for you? We have just used spring clamps to attach sheets to the bimini to block sun at places like Lake Powell, but it would be nice to have...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a high quality grease gun/cartridge system that won't leak oil in hot weather?

I have a small ding in my starboard chine where the boat came down on one of the trailer shackle bolts. I just realized that my boat came with a gelcoat kit that has sat in the shop since 2005. I opened it, and to no surprise it was fairly solid. I haven't messed with it, but am curious if...
