What about a Regal/ Cobalt/ SeaRay cuddy cabin? They make some pretty sick options these days. If I could get two slips I would have one of those and the wake boat.

I had a Searay 245 Weekend years ago, it was well made.  A little underpowered with the 5.0L but it had a Bravo 3 drive and would still hit 38 mph.  I took it out of Freeport a few times to the rigs to fish.

Rolled up to this at the boat dock this morning. Looks like no boat this weekend.

Guy is coming Monday to check it out.

Fuck, I totally forgot that CA now requires a Boater Card for any operator of a boat with a motor greater than 15 hp, or a sailboat greater than 30 ft with a motor.  It's been a requirement since 2018, but they phased it in by age.  As on 1/1/25, everybody has to have one.  $100 fine for the first offense, $250 for the second, and $500 for the 3rd.  My guess is they may be lax this first year.  But it's CA, so maybe not.  Doing an online course, and have it running in the background as you need to spend a certain amount of time on each section.  Fucking California.

I'm selling my 40' Cruisers Yacht 3870 if anyone is interested.  Asking $75k.  It's in the water now at Sail-n-Ski Lakeway, ready to be used.  It's a beautiful boat and in great working order.  Slip can be transferred.

Put it on FB Marketplace and let us know how many people offer you half of asking or if you let them make payments to you.  O/U will be set at 12.5.

I’d be interested at around $37500 if you’ll let me make payments. I can put $300 down and the slip lease prepaid for the term of the loan.

What does the cabin look like if I take a black light down there?

Pretty boat, and from looking online that’s a pretty great offer on your part.

I had a sea ray 245WE back in my late 20s, sleeping on a boat in a cuddy is the best sleep I have ever got.

#7466

I think they just sort of miraculously appear if you have the right boat. It’s a sixth sense they have.

6 Vic hoes.

Hope you didn’t burn out the bilge pump with the latter.

That thing is sweet.

pulled the trigger on a new dinghy.  My old Apex RIB was just falling apart and wouldn’t hold air well at all.  Plus since I am solo a lot the weight of hoisting the RIB up onto the davits was a bit grueling.  The high pressure air floor is a lot lighter.

Came down to do some prep for Catalina next weekend. Been way too long. Going out Friday with the wife and daughter coming out on the ferry on Saturday. Figured I'd spend the night tonight. Settling in with a little cocktail with Dodgers/Cubs coming on in just a few minutes.

Do you go to Avalon?

That’s where I am now.  But haven’t been here for a number of years.  Summertime is spent at the west end, or White’s Landing.  Avalon is a clusterfuck in the summer, plus the water sports and fishing, of which we are big fans, is much better at the west end.

Just put the wife and daughter on the ferry. Flying solo tonight and the crossing back tomorrow. NDMK Fish House poke bowl and edamame. Mmmm.

Love an evening stroll there - It’s just so damn quiet compared to the mainland

Especially in April.  This place emptied out today.  It’s so quiet and peaceful.  Clear and calm.  I don’t really even need to listen to music or watch anything.  Just take it in.  Oh and post on surly.  Crossing looks pretty mellow tomorrow.

I’m making some changes to my docking situation this year and have found myself with too many boats so it’s time to sell my 2015 MB Tomcat F22.  It’s about the best value for a boat with a real tabbed surf system and it throws up a decent wave.  Killer Exile kind system and very clean, but needs a new carpet and cover.  275 hours total with 120 hours on a replacement Raptor 400 motor done by Ski Dock. It’s on Lake Travis at West Beach and I’m looking for $48k ish.  Hit me up if you want to live your best life on the lake this summer.

They don’t ride with you?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  Daughter had to catch a flight back to school early this morning which would’ve meant leaving yesterday before noon.  We wanted to spend the whole day there, with them catching the 6p ferry.  And I have no problem with that.  Solo time at the island is just fine with me.  Just got back,

It’s time for a new wake surf board. I want a skim style - looking at the Ronix HOME carbon pro or Phase 5 MVP or Matrix Pro. Anyone have any opinions or some others to look at ?

Really only 250 hours on 23yo motors?

Yes.  The previous owner was my wife's uncle.  He had a lake house on Travis and the boat hardly left the dock.   He sold the boat to me a few years ago and we've replaced all of the fuel senders, batteries, fluids, etc and it's running great.  The dock fees are eating me up and I want to get a smaller boat.
