Thanks Pete. Hip is doing well. I'm just not using the boat that much anymore. Time to move on. Penguin would make a perfect boat for a solo or couple wanting to enjoy boating. She is a prefect vessel to cruise the Great Loop. I have 2 other smaller outboards too, so I'm still going to be on the...

Yes, Lake George is land locked. You could come up the Champlain Canal (Hudson River north of Albany) and leave your boat either at Ft. Edward or Ft. Ann. Not too far overland for someone to come pick you up. OR maybe rental cars are available. To enter the Erie Canal turne west at Waterford...

Just pictures of my boat...

Neither. The engine sits behind the cabin bulkhead, with a straight shaft. Cabin is quiet, engine, transmission and shaft are in line. Short 1, 1/2" shaft. Hull design is a tunnel with a wedge to provide extra lift

Likewise! Patience is a beautiful and well suited canal cruiser.

You'll enjoy the western trip. Let me know when you plan to go and I can answer questions. Depending on how many days you are travelling, there are many stops you can plan. I know some good food places too. Did you meet the Bridge House Brats in Phoenix last year? Great bunch of kids. Fantastic...

Thanks. Stop in Fairport next time, I'll show you around.

I've been around Kodak for a while too. Retired in 2007. If your uncle worked in motion picture I might have known him. You will be good at 14.5' with room to spare. The canal west of Three Rivers is a 15.5 clearance at normal pool levels. Once you get that far, it's only 12 locks to Buffalo. In...
