Re: Toured and Amazing and Unique Boat For Sale
Just a quick update (see bottom, may consider selling): I ended up buying the boat last fall (2023) and piloted it across Lake Erie to Buffalo, then through the entire Erie Canal, and finally up the Hudson/Champlain Canal to Lake Champlain (South Hero VT is home port). I had no idea of how deep th...

Re: Toured and Amazing and Unique Boat For Sale
That was/is definitely a consideration. I had focused on changing to pod drives (there are already access ports above the props at the top of the tunnels above the waterline) inside a low clearance area below the rear sole. I had also thought about changing to electric motors and running them with a...

Identifying a Boat- Long Shot
I was in Ketchikan Alaska in the spring of 2018 and saw an amazing boat that I hoped to find more information on. I poked around a bit and didn't get anywhere. I did find this cool site that shows you what vessels are actively sailing: https://www.marinetraffic.com/, but this boat hasn't been on it ...

Re: Aluminum Type and Flotation Question
Thanks again for all the great suggestions and input. I did order a snap-in canvas square for under the center windshield. I'll probably weld up an aluminum door once I lose the canvas piece :-). The prop recommended by the dealer is a 13.25" diameter, 17 degree pitch (3 blades). I have no idea...

Re: Aluminum Type and Flotation Question
I think the Predator was 20' and $26,000 USD w/ 90HP Yamaha ready to go (gas, and outfitting). You can see what they have in inventory with this link (generally keep it current from my understanding) http://marina.ca/boats/?make=stanley. I like the dual console (very different from the Islander I'm ...

Re: Aluminum Type and Flotation Question
Not sure how helpful this is as I'm not nearly as experienced as many on this forum. If you are interested in a Stanley boat, I had a very good experience with both the dealer and the boat this past weekend. I went to demo an Islander 19, which is a welded 3/16 hull (1/4" on 21 and 23 versions)...

Aluminum Type and Flotation Question
Hello, I took out a Stanley Islander 19' dual console boat with a Yamaha F115 yesterday on the St. Lawrence river in 20 mph winds with light rain and snow. The boat handled the chop really well, and the canvas enclosure made it a fairly warm and comfortable (compared to being exposed :-) ). I'm happ...

Re: Demoing Boat, Looking For Feedback
@ Wantry- They have a 20' Predator ($33,395), and two Pulsecrafts 22' ($66,980) and 24' ($74,968) on their Web site (http://marina.ca/boats/?make=stanley). Prices are in CAD, so multiply those number times .77 for approximate US price. Their site might not be updated, so no guarantees. I'm dealing w...

Re: Demoing Boat, Looking For Feedback
Thanks Chaps. The 19' is actually 3/16", but moving to the 21' is 1/4". My concern is mostly repeated beaching on chunky gravel shores (walking it in), is 3/16" fine, or do I stretch my budget and the size I want in order to get the 1/4" with the 21'? Also, just curious about sug...

I really appreciate everyone on this forum and all the combined knowledge. I'm driving about 5 hours to a marina near Ottawa to test drive an aluminum dual console boat next week, and am hoping to get some thoughts/feedback on the boat, and things I should ask about or look for when up there test dr...
