In the stupid boater contest, "The U.S. Coast Guard retrieved 21 people stranded aboard a boat in Galveston Bay on Sunday evening, the service said. The 20-foot boat was carrying nine adults and 12 children, the Coast Guard said. They were stranded about a mile from the Texas City Dike. A...

Hi Jan, The sign up page has 15 boats so far. With 1 captain and 1 admiral per boat, that makes 30 hungry mariners. We usually have a couple of boats show up that do not sign up. A couple of the management folks from the marina usually show up also. I will have my new larger hand crank ice...

I will bring a vacuum sealed fillet in the Engel and make a batch of Red snapper ceviche.

Went 50 miles out in the gulf of Mexico today with my 13 year old grandson. Caught our 2 fish limit each of Red snapper, a couple of bonus vermillion snapper, a king mackerel, and a Cobia, a school of blackfin tuna toyed with us but we could not entice them to bite. Can't figure how to post a...

On our 89 22 cruiser the water tank is a white poly tank under the aft passenger seat and holds 20 gallons. Pretty sure it is original. Came with a manual foot pump similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/Whale-Babyfoot-M ... B003ELUZHK We replaced it with a small 12v on demand pressure pump...

Not a real farm, Just a larger than normal hobby garden, some honey bees and a few assorted farm animals,

Sounds beautiful. Wish we had some mountains down here on the gulf coast.

Just picked 2 buckets of yellow squash, and 1 bucket of green beans. zucchini next week. 2 weeks out for tomatoes, eggplant, sweet corn and cucumbers. the bee are hard at it, the spring honey flow is in full swing.

The 9th Annual Mississippi River Gathering will be held as usual the weekend following Labor Day, September 6-9th. This year we are returning to Alton, Illinois, on the Mississippi River just north of St. Louis. If you have not visited the Alton Marina, you must do so just to see what a first...

Mercury marine is no stranger to lightweight performance. They used to build the all aluminum 32 valve Corvette engine for GM. And we have been very pleased with our 90 hp fuel injected 2 stroke Optimax on our 22 C-Dory. Thousands of miles with no issues

Hand one for many years on my Parker, just like the one in Brent's photo. I believe mine was 20 gallons and it worked very well. I highly recommend them. My new fishing boat came with a built in live well or I would still be using a bait bag.

There is a trick for making the anchor compartment completely drain. While on the trailer, jack up the side of the boat with the anchor drain. Then pour epoxy into the bottom of the anchor compartment level with the bottom of the drain hole, after it drys and the boat is returned to level the...

The hole that the sender mounts through is about a 1 1/2" diameter hole and can function as an inspection port when the sending unit is removed. It is located on the top of every tank I have ever seen.

Yes I have fuel gauges. Used new standard marine sending units and the original 1989 C-Dory dash indicator. I think they came from Defender marine. I parked the boat level at the gas station and started filling the empty tanks, and carefully noted the gallons in the tank at each mark on the...

Jim, In 2018 we will be back in Alton, Illinois. In the past the Alton Marina has allowed RV parking near the boat ramp, so you should be good. It will be self contained parking, no hook ups. Hope that you can make it. Tex

With the unfavorable exchange rate mentioned and possible import fees, you may come out OK having aluminum tanks fabricated locally, You can see the ones I had made for my 22 in my album. Had a fab shop cut the material and make the bends, then took them to a certified welder. All the aluminum...

Colby, This is what we use, about as compact as you can get, I think a couple of other brats have the same one. 600w cooking power actually uses close to 800 w. We carry a Honda EU 1000 on the boat and it works hard but will power it. An EU 2000 wont even break a sweat. It has old fashioned...

Bringing our newly purchased and VERY badly neglected C-22 home from South Texas. I forgot to bring a license plate from another trailer to put on it to tow it home and was pulled over by the Highway Patrol. He asked about no license plate and I said that I had just purchased the boat and asked...
