The crane was there to launch it yesterday. Silver Sands can't launch it. The owner needs to hire a crane!

Seems like such a waste to keep that thing land-locked on a lake where you can't legally anchor overnight and where there are no transient slips it will fit in. Goes against everything I love about cruising.

I like to think I get around pretty good in my boat, but I was humbled last year when I shared an overnight anchorage on the Maine mid-coast (Port Clyde) with some folks that had just cruised there from Europe. They probably feel the same way about my boat as I feel about the boat in the photo...

Agreed. It is a GORGEOUS boat, but I can't see it being worth the hassle on our little lake.

I posted this picture 'cause it struck me kinda funny that the largest boat on the lake was in the same frame as one of the smallest! Is it too big for the lake? Probably. Does it effect me? Nope! My wife thinks it's ridiculous that I've filled the house with speakers and subwoofers, but that's my "thing"...it makes me happy. I think it's ridiculous that she spends hundreds of dollars on flowers for the deck ( they'll all be dead in 5 months), but that's HER " thing"...it makes her happy. We all have " things" that seem ridiculous to some, but normal to us, so be nice! That is all! ;-)

Definitely a lot of boat. A bit of overkill for Winni. All the amenities of home!
I'll tell you one thing we have with our Xcursion 23C that the Galeon doesn't;
about 40 GPH less fuel burn!


I posted this on my channel from last summer...

Now that giant wakes are imperiling Lake Winnipesaukee's shorelines and water quality, that legal restriction has turned out to be essential.

Thanks Dan! Bought her from a brokerage who had little knowledge of the boat, so I'm gonna have to figure out how to work all the " stuff " on my own!

Nice boats! I was looking hard at the C-Dory boats for replacing my toon.
One thing I read about is the plastic fuel tanks expanding and contracting Over time...I’m sure you know this though. Good luck with “C-Nile”!

I did research as well and discovered that. Boat was delivered with full tanks, but probably will keep them only half full...these look good!

90 hp Yamaha outboard...planes at 9 / 10 mph and is supposed to be very fuel efficient.

What’s the length and beam width Steve? Guessing around 22’ long?

The length is 22 feet, and the beam 7' 8". I'm curious to see how it will handle the " rough weekend seas" of Winni. V in the bow, but flat in the stern...I've never driven a boat that planes so quickly and easily!

Our 22 ft C Dory does ok with rough water as long as we hit the big rollers at 45 degrees or so.
Perfect island boat, great in cold weather with the Wallas stove

I bet it handles rough water just fine! The C Dory has a semi-displacement hull similar to my Eastern. VERY fuel efficient! This type of hull takes a little bit of getting used to especially if your coming from a deep V style boat. In rough water it's trim down, throttle down and let the hull do its job. You don't want to expose the flat bottom to rough waves.

As time goes by please report back and let us know your thoughts. I am quite interested. Personally I think you will love it once you get used to it...

Sea trial was in Penobscott Bay... I could feel some slap from the back of the hull but I was trimmed up. I thought that trimming down might work better by putting more of the vee in the water when the lake gets rough... I will certainly experiment!

Default Boat Size

During 4th of July weekend, I was waiting to dock at the Wolfeboro public docks. I am very familiar with the docks and can usually get a spot even on the busiest days within 15-20 minutes.

There were 2-3 boats in front of me and I was patiently waiting my turn. I had 4 adults and 6 kids on the boat looking to get lunch. That is when the guy in front of me turned and and said "Hey, you have a little boat, why don't you take that spot on the right"? I said, "Who you calling little? You should see my anchor!"

After my guests stopped laughing at me, I proceeded to take the little spot on the dock and go to lunch.

Has anyone else been shamed like this in front of you family and guests while docking at the public docks around the lake? How did you handle it? Should I have taken down their reg number and notified Marine patrol of the Boat shaming?

For reference, I have a Cobalt 220S. Not the biggest boat on the lake, but certainly not the smallest. LOL

You aren't serious are you??

I would of thanked that person in the other boat for being so kind and understanding and for realizing that spot was probably better suited for you than for him. Certainly no shaming there...

I am serious that he said it. And yes, you are correct. I thanked him for letting me take the open spot. It was funny that he said I had a little boat.

How was lunch in Wolfeboro? Did you finish with ice cream or the Yum Yum shop or both?

Default Wolfeboro courtesy

Sold 5-6 years ago, but we used to have a 37' flybridge cruiser. From the bridge it was a lot easier to see inside spaces and advise smaller boats of availability that they couldn't see. Nobody took offense at the size of their boat, and would allow us to back into the end of the dock so we would only use 20'-24' of actual dock. Mostly, everybody was friendly and worked together regardless of who was first in line. Can't imagine why the OP felt shamed.

That is when the guy in front of me turned and and said "Hey, you have a little boat, why don't you take that spot on the right"? I said, "Who you calling little? You should see my anchor!"

After my guests stopped laughing at me, I proceeded to take the little spot on the dock and go to lunch.

Has anyone else been shamed like this in front of you family and guests while docking at the public docks around the lake? How did you handle it? Should I have taken down their reg number and notified Marine patrol of the Boat shaming?

For reference, I have a Cobalt 220S. Not the biggest boat on the lake, but certainly not the smallest. LOL
Ahhhh....the joys of a “small” boat! Getting families to lunch faster for hundreds of years!

This might be the time to look for one. Usually, right after i buy something, the market gets flooded with whatever it was i bought and the prices drop dramatically!

May have been the kids you saw. We're stuck in Georgia til the virus is gone or a vaccine becomes available.
Thanks for the compliment to Mikey!

You need to get a $43 Road Pro 12-volt portable car stove to go with your $2000 Wallas kerosene heating and cooking to complete that kitchen. It's an oven for $43 that gets plugged into the cigarette lighter. ...

Good idea. I thought it was to ice down your fish. My jump box also has 110V outlets. It can be charged from a 12V outlet to keep the 110V going longer.
