Fred & Pat, Just wanted to say hello! Michelle and stopped and talked with you in Fairport for a little while. It was a pleasure to see/meet another friendly face from the site. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Bruce, Congratulations! It seems it has been ages since we talked at boatshow! As of this morning, I have 92 hours on R'dragon and am sitting at anchor waiting for my crabpots to "soak" a little longer before I find out if I have anything to brag about for supper. You will love your tug....No...

Hey all! Just stumbled on a few days off and with great weather in hand, the admiral has given permission to take off in R'Dragon, "If I want" so I was thinking of gunkholing south puget, but I figure if I can come home with a little bounty of the sea, my sins will be more readily forgiven...

Tom, Table is true 2 person job. Give Andrew a ring for procedure, but the 1 time I took the table out, I vowed NEVER to do it again. It works, it just takes more work than worth! Good luck! Drew

Invest in the bottom paint! I had Granville Marine do mine in Anacortes. Brought her out on CincodeMayo after 6 months in the water and no growth whatsoever! Probably the best investment in buying R'Dragon

Hi everyone... Beent working to much and not boating enough! December 08, I had R'Dragon coming down from Port Townsend to Elliott Bay, 2-3 foot seas...Not bad, a little roll on the beam as Trinity said. Like CaptD, I found if I could put the rollers on the bow we cut right through and had a...

Welcome Jon! Love to hear about the east coast adventures. Hope to make your acquaitance someday soon!

Hi all, I had the opportunity to work with Skippercress during the boat show and got intimately familiar with the "numbers" on the 3 different engines. Honestly for the money, I think the 110hp is the best....Little weak, but the 130hp ($5000) tops out at 20kts, my 110hp 18-18.5kts. The 150hp...

Both Capt D and Mac have these onboard their wonderful little tugs! Hopefully we can get Island Ranger to chime in hear as he did some of the flight testing to see if it would work for the R-25.

Awww Darrell! Your a year or 2 early for us! DAMN! :cry Have a great trip and would love to hear your stories/assesment so we can plan for the future in our R-25!

I hear Day Island Boatworks does good work, have not used them myself. Not real sure. They will be at the boatshow. Also their a is a group along thea foss waterway that took over the old totem marine and are now doing work with the money going to the sea scouts... Couple of ideas that I hope...

Great Info... Have to hang my head in shame...We just bought an R-25...Don't have a tow vehicle so will have to so some serious planning. As an introduction, am looking at doing a bareboat charter on the Erie Canal this spring. There is a company who rents Nimble Nomads...Pretty close to the...

Pat... Awesome Maps! Joe- Thanks for the links...I always forget about the search engine on the site! :oops: Please forgive me! I'm still just an a new guy, but learning a little more all the time! I'll go look at the threads...pre-emptively, any good books about the loop? Started to read...

Hopefully not Hijacking this thread, but with the new Ranger also have problems/questions with the Wallas. I have raised the lid a few times to see what happens and the blower has not shut off. Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot this???? Should it run for a few minutes or immediately...
