Just got the boat back from a repower, and gearing up for some fishing. The South Delta is basically a 5mph zone, but the mid to upper Delta is wide open. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

80 degrees and nowhere to go. http://www.capradio.org/articles/2017/02/28/most-of-san-joaquin-countys-delta-rivers-waterways-closed-to-recreational-boating/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Winterize? What's that, eh, Todd? lol Nice pic, cool trip! I get the hydronic heat set up, but why the need for a space heater for the cabin? What kind are you using?

Okay, nevermind. I've read all 64 pages now and I think this issue was settled. What a great resource for us newbies!

Excellent! I shall do that. Where are you located?

The sink water goes go the sump?? Not on my '01 260DA. One of the first things I did after purchasing her was treat the fresh water holding tank and ran water into the intake with the sink valves open. All that funky sulpheric old water drained out through the through hull fitting overboard...

Hey Todd...sink covers...did you get enough interest to make a run of these? If so, I'd be interested in one for my '01 260DA. Dan

Gearing up for Delta striper/salmon runs out of Discovery Bay, CA. Anyone else? :thumbsup:

The boat has performed flawlessly! I've put 15 hours on it and am thrilled to death that the shipyard tuned the engine and replaced the transom seal. Busy exploring the 1200 miles of waterway here in the California Delta. Putting in new Corinthian Aqua Mats today.

Hmmm...having trouble getting pics or vid up. Even reduced size of pics. Trying again...

It's in the water! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10202233636137642 :smt038 :smt038 :smt038

She's been in the water a week now. Had her out on the Delta last Friday for a couple of hours and she ran great! Taking her out tomorrow, as well. So far, so good!

The survey was completed Tuesday. I've had at length discussions with the surveyor and the partners that own the vessel. There were some issues, one very major, that the owners (one a broker, the other a shipyard owner) have agreed to address. I'll attach the survey here for your perusal and...

Thanks for everyone's input. Believe me, I am exercising my due diligence on this vessel. I water test today and have a full mechanical/ hull survey tomorrow. Only fools rush in to damn near anything. Semper Fi

Thank you, everyone! The boat had been sitting idle at a Marina for 9 years. The gentleman who owned it got Alzheimer's, so there was very little maintainence done to it for a long period of time. It has since been hauled out to a shipyard where they tuned the engine and replaced fluids, etc...

Get to look at it Saturday, mech. and overall survey next week. Crossing fingers that I'll be back here learning something from you guys and gals! :smt024
