Mark, If you ever get it into cad and you end up with points with elevation that you can export in either .dwg or .dxf format I could pull it into our 3D programs and easily give it the information a

Ooops, I meant at the loading dock, or whatever that smaller L-shaped dock is called.

Hi John, Okay, I brought it into the CAD package to refresh myself on how to do this stuff. Too many years away from it. Anyway, I looked at the image and realized the best measurement would be the

Hi John, You sure you want a guy making your chart when he can't even remember it's a piling? And I didn't even have a beer with dinner. Sheesh... . Mark

I'm glad you're willing to help make sense of our soundings, Mark. I figured you could start working on a map by using a CAD program to trace the docks using the image, perhaps doctoring it up in

Hi Cal, Okiedoke. It may be more than you want, but the outboard I use on Moonlit Turtle is a 6 hp Tohatsu. Weighs 58 pounds and came with a three gallon external tank. Turtle weighs close to a

Hi John, I'd be glad to help. Not sure how to use your image for what you want to do, however. I don't believe I have a program to use that as you intended. But I do have a CAD package that will

Hi John, Yeah, I figured that. I was just trying to give Cal some specs he might like to know. Don't know if mine has the water cooled exhaust. Maybe this explains it. Mine is maybe 10 years

I will bring 100+ feet of poly rope with marks, a kayak and gear, a pole that doesn't float with a tether and markings of depth in feet and tenths. John, I assume you can get inside the gates (I can

Some Coots might not be ready yet to eat at a restaurant, even outside, but they may be willing to eat inside with just a group of Coots they know are vaccinated. We'll see... We should have some

I rounded the weight of my Honda up. <g> It's supposed to weigh 28 lb. like yours. Mine is air cooled, but has a water cooled exhaust. It's noisy when you're going fast, but has a comforting beat when

Hi, Mark John was replying to my thoughts as to a gas backup preferably with small remote tank. I plan to remove maybe 160 lbs of batts. just don't need all 3 packs. A gassie might just be the

Hi John, Hmmm, my Honda 2 hp is air-cooled, no water pump. Weighs 28 pounds and pushes Moonlit Turtle at hull speed. Loud little sucker, comparatively. Mark

Sounds about right, John. I don't want too much, but enough to cruise about the same speed. With the 3rd pack removed, I'd have an easy 160 lb lighter, and a gassie would be maybe half that, easy to

Just crossed my mind that there are places that could be good for meetings. If it's warmer, then any patio would work, like TJ's here in Creswell on the I-5 offramp. Good food, big patio, indoors or

These 'Strine racers make most of the modern boats look kinda wimpy. <g> Running out of time to watch this, I think; as part of the PT Non-Festival it may disappear at

I think a 2-2.5 hp. motor would be plenty for Surprise. The 4-6 hp. motors are a lot bigger and heavier. I've got a 2 hp. Honda you can try out, but it hasn't run in quite a while. I'll fire it up in

If we use a kayak, as bob suggests, we wouldn't need to have a guard Coot to scare the hungry carp away. Thankfully, the Fern Ridge carp aren't the kind that'll jump into your boat trying to get you.

Just as soon as I get Surprises motors back together, and coming soon I hope !! I will buy a good but probably used about min. of 3 to 5, or even 6 hp short shaft outboard for the well in Surprises
