    I want it to route plan where the most fish are and catch/clean them for me while underway.

    Favorite picture so far.. What's yours?

    My favorite shot from this year's boating season doesn't have any boats in it, but I did take it from the back of my boat. I saw this big moon coming up and realized the trees were going to frame it. I have shot the moon many times over the years but never had one that was very special. 400mm...

    Newbie on my way to Vancouver Island

    Along the lines (& price) of a Ranger, why not look at Cutwater? Big following in the PNW. Some friends of mine just picked up a fairly new and lightly used one, well equipped, for $200k US.

    New build - Hampton Endurance

    Hey, thanks for asking. I'm still here, and doing just fine, thank you. Just kind of lost my motivation during Covid. I was a small business person most of my life, but grew my business into medium size 2010+. To see how many businesses, life's work, was going to be extinguished by the lock...

    Here is an article on this ditching: https://sofrep.com/fightersweep/in-the-news-cirrus-sr-22-ditches-near-hawaii/ The Captain of the Veendam is my neighbor and friend! He won an award from Leeds of London for this event.

    marriage savers

    Tried to sets of Sena's. Range only about 25', despite their claim of hundreds of yards. Got the Eartecs and they are great.

    Are twin diesels worth more than a single?

    When one engine dies, yeah.

    Would you like 1/2 of a boat

    Big difference between and airplane and a boat. You don't live in an airplane and they are vastly more simple than a boat. In general, with a plane, when you take it out of the hangar you wouldn't even know you weren't the last pilot to fly it (assuming not leaving junk there, dealing with...

    Tell us something about you that sounds FAKE

    When I was in college I spent my summers landscaping apartment buildings. One day I hear this couple arguing in a truck about 30 feet from me. All of a sudden "BOOM" - shot rings out. The woman tumbles out of the truck and I figure he shot her. I'm trying to figure whether to try to grab her or...

    Tell us something about you that sounds FAKE

    I have known three people that made $100 million + fortunes, and lost it all. One had three jets including a 727 that he was rated to fly. Now he lives in a trailer his sister bought for him and is an uber driver.

    Tell us something about you that sounds FAKE

    I'll start... I experienced a feat of super human strength, and temporary amnesia at the same time. Was working in a coffee shop as a waiter while in college. Was taking an order when people started screaming and pointing outside. I looked out and saw my female manager, on the ground, being...

    Tell us something about you that sounds FAKE

    Friend of mine started a thread like this on f/b, and it has been fun. Tell us something about yourself that sounds FAKE but is 100% true! Post as many as you like!

    It Starts Today

    One of my dock neighbors has nearly the same boat and loves it. His third Silverton. It seems well built and feature rich. Well done!

    No theft prevention on MS400?

    I shall remember that... Boats of this size are generally not stolen... :>)

    2020 San Juans Clog-in ?

    Was just catching up on this thread: https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s3/insde-passage-travel-route-49694.html Discussing the Canadian border being closed to US boats. Got me thinking, whoa, how many recreational boats go North each season? What if none of those boats can go, and basically...

    Boat Ranking / Selection spreadsheet

    Has anyone developed a selection spreadsheet, that you used when evaluating various models, leading to a purchase? I poked around the web, the only real decent one I found was for sailing cats. I could adapt it. No, I'm not in the market, helping a friend! I'm thinking that the...

    ROV's

    The water is 47 degrees! But yeah a camera on a boat hook could do it. I even have a camera with a waterproof case that connects to a phone. I guess it wouldn't work once the camera was underwater tho...
