Wow, those are crazy machines... watching that blue one roll out on that pier was making me nervous! But those folks sure look like they know what they are doing.
WOW Ray! She's beautiful! Looks like a brand new boat! Wishing you guys a safe, happy and exciting boating season! Thanks for taking us along! Cheers!! 😊
@@LoveYourRV that's awesome the GF has lived here for years and never heard of it. They have some very cool machines there obviously experts at launching the boats
We are currently anchored in Gorge Harbor, Cortez Island, for a bit, and then the plan is to stock up in Campbell River and head northward towards the Broughton Archipelago area for July if the weather cooperates. But, no schedules. :)
It has a Paragon P33AL 2:1 Ratio Marine Transmission. User Manual - www.varen4u.nl/pdfs/paragon/Paragon_P-SeriesE.pdf You can see it here in a recent video I did about an 12V oil transfer pump th-cam.com/video/XlkuR0B5-ls/w-d-xo.html where I changed the fluid. Cheers, Ray
" That boat " I think looks like it was wood planked, maybe was sunk for some reason , did you get the story? Do you think 34 feet is just the right size for the cruising you guys do? Could you go smaller or bigger?
It was a boat that recently sank in Squirrel Cove, Cortes Island. I think it was basically abandoned or neglected and broke away from the dock over there and ended up grounded. We like the size, wouldn't want smaller as an extended liveaboard. 36 would be nicer as often times the master state room is better with a walk around queen bed but they usually come with 2 engines and its nice and simple to have just the one, not to mention much more economical to operate.
@@LoveYourRV Thanks for the sunk boat story. You make some good points about boat size. I guess two-footitis is a thing, funny how just two more feet in a boat makes such a large difference.

Exciting times ahead guys....She looks fantastic.
Those interesting machines make people's lives easier.
Very cool. Will have to meet up when you get back. That wasn't the government dock in Lund curious as to where that was.
You bet. It was Jack's Boatyard dock in Finn Bay

Yes, nice group of people run and staff it and one of the few boatyards that allow DIY work on your own boat.
Wow, that's alot!
Awesome life
Happy sailing ⛵️

Bet ya the guy who's boat is filling with water wished he redid his bottom too in a timely manner Lol 🍻
I have been meaning to ask you I might have missed it. But does your boat have a Twin Disc or Borg-Warner transmission?
