Pat- I'm not sure exactly what a messabout is either, the one at Dexter Lake the other day was the first one I'd ever been near. I guess they're just boats and...

Bryn- Sounds like a good project. When you mentioned a free "cruiser" I imagined a big cabin cruiser or oceangoing sailboat! <g> A 16' runabout is a nice, ...

Yes the runabout is outboard powered, I beleive the old add for the cruiser has a 60 hp or maybe 70, which is a bit small for today's standards. I would like...

I had a sail this afternoon on Dorena Lake, southeast of Cottage Grove. It's a nice lake, bigger than Dexter (1840 acres vs. 1025), clean water and fairly deep...

Yes, maybe we should try to add the dory event to the list of activities at Depoe Bay. I'll tell all a bit about this. I left my dory on the boat ramp, pulled...

The "Runaway Dory" race is already on the list of events for next year. Jack Brown says it's a "Must Have." Sure was the highlight of Sunday. Ocean big. Ocean...

60-70 horsepower, that's a hotrod! I can remember when 35 hp. on a 16' boat seemed to be plenty enough to do what people wanted to do, whether it was skiing or...

Nice illustration John. Pretty much shows it all. I think I would cut the top off the tree first, but what do I know. I think the log has to be very green....
