Lee and Jan, The pies and dogs were great. Ken and Pat and Sharon and I are on the river camped on a sand bar 100 miles south of Minneapolis, headed north. Did anyone get some good photos of all the boats on the sand bar? If so, post them up. We are already looking forward to next year.

Pelican, Clover and Bixby's Cub are here.

The first thing I installed in my offshore boat was a bilge alarm. Very easy and cheap.. Float switch from west marine in the bilge area and a loud car horn from the local auto parts store mounted under the center console.

Interstate highways are 16' in rural areas, In urban areas only 14'. Expect a lot of 13' 6" when off the interstate. We towed our old houseboat at 13' 6" from Texas to Minneapolis and to Lake Powell and it was a constant pain in the rear. Might make it with a lot of planning. On a long...

Bixby\'s Cub in the Mississippi, Pelican in the Missouri

they slide in from the rear.

The Missouri was a very uncivilized river. No pleasure boats, few fishermen, no barge traffic, no locks, no marinas, Pretty much as Lewis and Clark saw it except for a few bridges and occasional town. A sand bar and a campfire every night. Just what we like.

Gavins Point Dam, Lewis and Clark Lake, Yankton, South Dakota. Pelican, Sandpiper and Bixby"s Cub heading downriver on the Missouri tomorrow.

There are very few of us down here in Texas. Welcome to the club.

5 Hp Merc 2 stroke on our 22 cruiser gives us 4.5 to 5 mph at half throttle, full throttle, barely 6 mph. We have a removable steering bar. I like the Merc's 40lb weight, shallow tilt settings, integral fuel tank, as well as built in connector for aux tank.

We did not notice any difference in the hull noise after we removed the foam and installed hatches in the V berth on our 22.

George, We are in Cypress, just NW of Houston, You are welcome to come see ours as well. I will PM you my cell #. Tex

Since this is kind of a Honda EU2000 thread, We just returned from a 2 week snow skiing trip in Colorado. Used the EU2000 with our Pickup camper to run 1600 watts of resistance electric heat at altitudes up to 11,000 feet with no problems. There is no extra starting load with resistance heat...

We are considering the Missouri River this June. I take a folding luggage cart that transports 2) 6 gallon gas cans with ease. We often get gas at river towns at regular gas stations and convenience stores that are a short walk from the river. They are easy to find using Google map search...

The AC is permanently mounted in the back window. Out of the way and no problem and there when we need it. We heat the water to the desired temp and then unplug the 120 volt AC before use. We use a 2500 watt 240 volt element, draws 625 watts at 120volts.

We use our makeshift shower on our 22 quite often. I mounted a hot water heating element in a 6 gallon Portable ice chest. It will heat up off of marina power or the EU 1000 on the boat. takes about 10-15 minutes. I use a small 12 volt compact pressure pump from Northern Tool with spring...

This is more what I had in mind, some scrap lumber and a cordless drill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5vfSwPS ... ure=fvwrel

This guy has been building a diesel engine balsa cored 36 Northern Bay here in Texas. If you have the time you can follow his trials and progress on this thread on our local fishing website. Very interesting and informative. http://2coolfishing.com/ttmbforum/showt ... ght=sylvan
