Last we were on the lower river there was marina gas at Greenville, Miss Unlike the upper River with 28 locks and dams restricting the flow, the lower river flows unimpeded with a steady current in your favor close to 3 mph. This helps on the mileage but some gas can fuel stops will be...

Another slant, If you buy it at that price from a friend because he has health problems without an honest disclosure that you think it may be worth quite a bit more, you could lose a friend.

It is about 600 miles from Dallas to Alton, near St. Louis for the Mississippi gathering the weekend after Labor day. We have quite a few 25's and 22's there at that time....and they are in the water with C-Brats at the helm eager to give you a test ride. If you get down to the Houston area...

The levees at the French Quarter are 23' high and when we were there in 2011 the River was just 3 feet from cresting the levees. Normally when passing the French Quarter on a small boat, one can only see the second story balconies and roof tops behind the 23' high levees. The coolest part of...

I do believe that Sharon and I will make it over there from Texas. I will bring some big red snapper fillets and make a batch of cevechi.

I could be wrong, but I believe that in 50 hp and over motors, short shaft is 20" and long shaft is 25". I'm pretty sure the 22 C-Dorys use a 20" shaft motor.
