Hi all, I wanted to share my experience with a company called shearwater university out of Anacortes. A friend of mine bought a 37’ Nordic tug and signed up with shearwater (Phyllis Wooline) for on boat training. He had the option to invite 2 people including him and his wife as a package...

Hi guys. A good friend of mine just bought a 37' Nordic Tug which he has moored in Anacortes. He is looking for a reliable paint shop to either repaint the hull (the previous owners had painted it red but he'd like to go back to white) or go back to the original "ivory" gelcoat thus removing...

Figured since some of you may live here and may as many Oregonians have plans for a fun filled Labor Day beach trip I'd share the news. It looks like some beaches have fecal bacteria advisories. https://www.oregon.gov/oha/ph/HealthyEn ... tatus.aspx

My wife and I got caught out in thunder right next to us (IE flash and sound at same time no delay). this made me wonder - is there a concern with a boat on the water with thunder? We put our radio antenna down just in case lol.

I am pondering cutting out a hole in the side of the storage bin under the passenger seat and installing a teak door - has anyone done this? any down side? The issue being that its annoying to always have to move cushions around to get stuff out of there. Also I am curious if anyone else with...

Think this would fit on the roof of my venture? :-) https://youtu.be/E41kFAL0UUo

Hi guys, I am not sure if any of you run the axiom displays. I hooked up my ray70 but can't figure out for the life of me how to hook it up to my axiom? Thoughts? Help? Bueller? Little tidbit - I hooked up the Ray70 with a sea talk NG to NMEA 2000 cable. H

Hi all, I am not much of a reviewer, I don't care for Yelp or many other such opinion or whining sites. I never leave reviews for any company - its just not me. This is a first for me and is truly only because of the outstanding way Sportcraft has treated me from day 1. A little over a year...

Hi all - this may be a dumb question but I can’t find an answer anywhere and would love to know what you think. I am pondering getting a weight distributing hitch. From what I understand it puts more weight on the trailer axels. The question I have is what happens after I launch my boat ...

I took my boat out for the first time for an overnight in pretty much constant rain trip this weekend on the Columbia with 2 other buddies, between out body heat/breathing we accumulated quite some condensation on the inside of the windows etc which is quite frustrating when trying to navigate...

Hi guys, So one down side to my new boat - It has these awesome side steps that are larger than previous versions of the Venture (you can open the hatches and store stuff or turn them into fish wells). I love this feature but one thing that is clear to me is that my plans of having chairs...

Hi guys, Here is a list of Oregon Pump Out stations for those who may need or want it. http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _album.php H

I was talking to my sister and while telling her why to me the sea/water is so intoxicating. I came to the conclusion while having to explain it that I love being on the water because I am not in control. That sounds weird I know; but the point being that no matter how much we'd love to...

Hi all, Just curious (while waiting on my boat...) how does the insta-hot water tank work that comes with the venture? is this only functional when hooked up to shore power? I am thinking of installing a shower on the back deck and Ting it into the sink lines. I am just curious how this...

Cringe - http://katu.com/news/local/dive-team-pu ... oat-launch I feel terrible for the guy. I can't imagine the stress.

Since SeaSport now owns C-Dorys maybe we could add a sub site for them like we have for rangers. My best friend is buying a seasport and laments the fact that he can't find a similar community or site. (I think he feels left out lol) I think at one point there was a seasport community site but...

What are peoples preferences. I currently have Navionics on my 18fter. I am buying electronics Raymarine Axiom for a new boat what do you recommend. Planning on cruising Columbia and puget sound primarily with trips out off the Oregon coast. May trailer and check out other waters too but my...

Hi all, I hope my boat is built and rd by Labor Day. I was thinking of taking a cruise in the San Juan's for Labor Day. Let me preface this post by saying I have never been to the San Juan's. I was hoping maybe some of you who have been can give me some pointers for a nice multi day cruise...

Hi everyone, this has been covered before but I can't find it. What are your opinions on new versus used my wife and I are about to sign for a new 23 venture. The cost with options we want is in the upper 80s not including electronics. I know this is a personal financial decision but I want...
