12.5 feet is not that narrow. But if you look at the keel its deep. So between that keel and the weight, its not going to roll that much.
Its more about the keel than anything else!

Generally its <65 ft are called small craft. This spring I am installing a fuel polishing system. https://reversopumps.com/fps80s03/
I stand corrected, just another senior moment. Denny.

After I posted the video, I clicked on it and I too was having trouble. But then I looked at the bottom of the screen and see that the file has been down/uploaded. Check the bottom of the screen and see if its there.....then just click to open. If the file is not there, then I have not clue.
The last update to my PC has changed many things and what I use to know how to do, has left me deserted in the middle of nowhere.

Nice to have that zodiac to tuck into those out of the way spots! Some with boats that take more water use them here to get to shore (especially those with large dogs lol) or explore the islands with rocky shores.

Ohio river sounds like it would be fun to explore.
The Ottawa extends from Lake Temiskaming in Northern Ontario all the way to the St.Lawrence in the east. There are a number of hydro and flow control dams along the way but no locks. At one time there were contractors subsidized by Tourism Canada with hydraulic lift marine trailers who could take you around the dams for a price if you radioed ahead. I think they still exist but I can’t swear to that.
Our section is bordered by two hydro dams and has (I think) the nicest sand beaches along the entire length (~73km or 45 mi ... so similar to your area). The rest is pure wilderness with rocks and trees to the water’s edge in a lot of places or private property. I think the total navigable length is about 468 kms (~300 miles). And if you can get downstream to Ottawa and into the Rideau canal, then you can get into Lake Ontario at Kingston and just keep going.

If you’re asking about my pic, it was on the Ontario side of the Ottawa river on one of the 4 Garrison Petawawa beaches.
Thanks, does your river get crowed at times, and do you have to worry about incoming wakes when anchored out like that? Denny.
Nice to see a different view of your girl, and nice to see another familiar face, welcome a board. Denny
This is one sexy vessel...maybe one day if I play the lottery and won.
You'll need to win the mega ball. LOL Denny.
If you aren't happy with your negative side, I'll trade you mine for as long as you like. LOLThe negative side of boatingView attachment 809
She sure looks pretty setting on her trailer, not to mention no wind and blue skies.
What is it, about 60 degrees during the day?
I have a son that lives in Phoenix, so I keep tabs on your weather and I know that you have some 40's, which to you is like our 20's and 30's. How long is your layoff from boating in the winter?
I had a friend that lived in Vegas and he spent one Christmas day on his boat on Lake Mead when it was 80degrees. Maybe I can get a look at your girl when I come out. Denny
The negative side of boating
True ...but if there were no negative side the waters would be so overcrowded our getaway would be ruined. We pay to play and yep, it is so worth it.
