Thanks to all who it made it a great success. I love this group. No dues, no officers, no agenda just boaters with common interests sharing times and stories with each other. I never met a C-brat I did not like. We as many know we sold our boat, Baxter II ,as age and infirmities have caught...

Thank you all for your inquiries and offers to buy our boat. It has been sold to party north of Portland, OR. So the boat now has Third owner and they seem like they were excited to have BaxterII. Everyone was so nice to us at the C-brats Washington Harbor gathering with several promises of...

I have used the now defunct Gramin Blue Tooth for navigation. I have heard good things on Navinoics and long tim ago used I NAv. So why does I NAv have 5stars and Navonics only 3 ?

When I added ny third battery I put a Blue Sea S-1 battery combiner. This assures that their the other batteries charged first then relay added third. I too hesitate advice without seeing schematic. If you go to Blue Sea web sit they will show schematic of how this works. Last year I built a...

I just havcspentvtimecwith very sources getting two new props for Venture 23. They are on order, need EC out before I try. I boats has a good prop selection site. Best if you can get a dealer to loan you a used prop to try.

Any updates on these plans for gathering? Thank you.

13” a bit small I have 14” should have changed to 15” long ago but involves new galvanized wheels, so it gets expensive. Goodyear I think is best brand. You get what you pay for. Happy trailering

Would love to have a drone but have held off. We have used our iPad cell capable to have GPS but not activated for many years as out primary navigation. It has never failed us. The iPhones are connected to it so they and be a tiny screen back up if needed. We have Raymaine 15 year old chart...

This may start a controversy. I have a Venture 23 with twin Honda 50's and have been running Honda brand propsC4x10.5x13 4 blade props based on information that it provides more torque. Also the information says helps boats that are stern heavy which mine is with two motors, 60 gal. of fuel...

Did Rideu Waterway in Canada and planned on St. Lawerence. It was winter with great snow in CA. Made it virtually impassable In spring for small boats. So check on flood stage which of course not as predicable as tides. Was to do Arkansas River couple years ago. Had been before. It was...

I was just kidding. No boat worth jumping onto in those waters. So I did not think of all the practical issues of doing it. Rivers at flood stage are extremely dangerous. Friend and I many foolish years ago a friend and I took a canoe down a Wisconsin River right after ice out and snow on...

Boy, I have been on Mississippi in flood when I should not been there. This much worse. Water has power. If someone timed it right could have jumped from lock and landed on boat, or not! Sad!

One advantage to living in a state with less that 600,000 pop and 9 the in land mass we don’t have long line. 30 minutes for shot 2 car to car. Including in thev15 minute wait period. I write this as seems all we every here is about reactions. No one we know in Sheridan , Wy has had...

Lots of experience mostly bad. It seem trailers are just built not engineered. Especially braking systems. It also seems if you can’t do the work yourself you are in a mess. Even thought in WY it’s not big boat country we are deep into cargo, Cattle, Recreational trailers. Yet I find it’s...

Glad you got help. Still have my Private Pilots license but lost medical years ago. So on no fly list. Miss it a lot but, we have the Venture 23. Stay well everyone. Sleep apa can be contolled so get help if you need it. WY is 6 F today with - o days ahead. Need to plow snow this pm just...

I may have mislead my problem with maintaining our batteries using 2 sleep machines at night away from shore power. My Venture 23 has two Honda 50 hp outboards. They each only have 20 amp. Alternators. Adequate for normal use. I do dread then going dead as even though they can be hand...

I may be odd but I like that on my Venture 23 I see tanks and well vented. Otherwise I would not have noticed gasket on sensor leaking one day. When those gaskets get old they dry out. You can buy a kit as most all the same. My boat was 10 years old when I replaced both of them. Only one...

Have deal with for 15 years. Wife about 5. Machine works great to get good rest. Otherwise tired all the time. Big Issue with two machines running is power at anchorage. Las spring build sound leading for Honda Gen 2000 and have flex exhaust built in to go over stern. I am sure I...
