Thanks so much for your comments. Was thinking of a straight shot. About 10 years ago. helped a friend take his 48 De Fever make the trip. Had no problems. We left from Galveston and he made 6 to 8 knots with 125 Ford Lehman’s. I was thinking of 8 knots. The boat holds 650 gallons. Thanks Tom

Would anyone take this boat from New Orleans to Isla Murexes. We hold 550 gallons of diesel and have 3208 turbo cats Thanks Tom:eek:

We were planning the Great Loop in 2011 but Deltaville Boat yard scuttled our plans and we were going to head back south but got caught in snow and ice so we wintered at Atlantic Yacht Basin. Met several boaters who stopped over at AYB and were going to winter at Tidewater in Norfolk. We stayed...

Have inverter to keep Ice Maker, Wine Cooler, TV Wireless Card and our Coffee ready--would not leave dock without it--my port engine keeps the batteries charged and if we anchor a smart relay will not let the batteries draw off engine batteries--seems smart phones, I Pads and wireless cards do...

Steve, we spent two and a half months at the boat yard? We do not know how far we will get, still might leave it up here for the winter? Hope to get back to Theriot soon for the fishing. Stay safe and will see you around Cocodrie. DT

We purchased our boat four months ago and have enjoyed the Chesapeake. We are planning to head south in a month. Had the oil and filters changed but am wondering if I should replace the raw water impellers. I have put about 100 hours on the engines and with the log on repairs the impellers are...

Have sent inquires to two prop companies--first quote was $2600 ea. DT

The props are only thre years old, but if I cannot find a set, that is what we'll do. DT

Would like to have a set of spare props but looking for used or rebuilt? Any suggestions appreciated. Props are 32x24x2 1/4 DT

We went with the Sealand System. Changed all the hoses, the system is great and uses very little water therefore increasing your cruising time between pump outs. Really improved the "boat smell".. Quite pricing but a good upgrade. DT

Manual for the Navionics? DT

Where did you find a manual? I love ours but have not figured out all the good stuff? DT

We can create a route but cannot save it? DT

I second the Navionics, purchased the Polar view and downloaded charts but it is just too complicated:banghead: and customer support is a joke. DT

Yes, but find it just too much if you try to do this underway--Navionics has spoiled me? Thanks DT

Bought the charts but must not know how to load? DT

Thanks, but still having problems with the program? DT

Bought the app but having trouble loading? Any suggestions, when I open the app just get a screen with the US and when yo zoom in, no charts--nothing:banghead: DT
