What? You're planning on towing a bigger boat behind thhhhhhhat car????
What has tour boating experience cost you so far? I suspect around
$2000.00 per hour


He has demonstrated several times here he is not concerened with others
safety as long as he can bring his boat to the water a couple times a
year.... I see all kinds of folks like that. Posted a pic today of a guy
with a dog in a parking lot, had the truck parked right in the middle
with his dog in there hanging out fully open windows as folks walked by
because he thinks his dog is so well trained, how could it possibly
concern others? snerk Folks like this only think of themselves... they
suck on the road too...

Your Highlander can't tow a boat appropriate for the North Atlantic,
Don. Join a boat club - if they have any.

Duh Ditzy,
here's an example of boats I could tow that would be suitable for my local waters...if not the open Atlantic.
BTW the oldest yacht club in North America is here in my home town. Sailed out of it for a number of years. The whole idea of a trailered boat is to enjoy various bodies of water and of course to avoid expensive club fees.

I like the 19' Walk through but my brother-in-law has the 19' Cuddy Cabin.

Hopefully August will be better. Wife doesn't like pounding over waves 2 feet or higher.
Two footers, eh?

The water had been too shallow until the recent rains. Typical
afternoon thunderstorms have also been a deterrent but I've been out
three times this month. Could have been more if I didn't spend 10 days
out of town. Just bought a new 78" prop and it's working great.

Just local lake boating but it's been a blast. Very nice days but when you consider nightly temps here have been in the high 50's the waters a bit cool but...

I've been out twice, both times at Solomon's Island. Didn't catch anything, but had fun anyway!

Nice. We're seeing night time temps in the low to mid 60s here on
the east coast. That's very cool for us now that we're Florida
acclimated but it's a nice change from hot and humid.

One thing about the mild temps is that it backs down the air conditioning bill a lot. Save electricity and buy gas! But another thing this year is that the lakes aren't hurting for water and so some places it's not so iffy even in a not-so-shallow draft boat. I haven't spun or demolished a prop this year. Lol!
