I need to go back. Been too long!

I think I know this guy too lol

Its one of the most beautiful places I've ever been

It sure was. Thanks for watching!

Great to learn on a smaller boat first before buying that expensive dream boat

That’s all we needed for dinner

@@DanDanFleek HaHa Good one!

Nice man you understand lol. I was worried about weight io but I think be cause the transom is curved, adds lots of strength and have had no issues. Probably don’t need it with my new motor though. Not sure what blue cover you are referring to.

2.3 3 4 5 hp ektric proline out bard betrr kertin then just gas or disel

Thanks man! I recently lowered the pilot house about a foot to fit into my new garage. Now I can stand in the back and see over the roof. Also added a roof rack to the roof

Thanks man! I’ll check out your channel too.

It was. This was early November

Thank you!!!!!

Oh yeah still gettin out there. Been running better than ever. Hoping to get a bit offshore in next few weeks

you tell me hahaha. feels great huh?

I had a 12 gallon tank as my main and brought a spare 5 gallon and 2 gallon jug. Refilled at two harbors. Ended up using around 22 gallons if I remember right

That's right love the enthusiasm! Will defintely get stumped im sure lol

Still using the Matrix to tow my boat around 🤣

@@DanDanFleek my father and I did many things with that silver matrix, traveling to SF the fist time, sleeping in the car, but never thought it’s capable of towing. When I sold her to my shipmate in the navy at 220k miles, she drove it to Taxes with no problem, he told me that it will run forever. It has such a sentimental value to me.

John, thanks for the touching comment. This is what life is about I believe and I am blessed to be able to share this experience with my dad. Your dad will always be with you in spirit so get out there with your boat and get some fish! Thanks again man

I can’t help to be so jealous and regret. I have a military rib boat that can stand a lot of wind and wave, I am seasonal spearo, hit me up when you want to do it again with your father, let’s go spear some yellowtail or WSB. By the way what’s the model of the inflatable kayak?

anchor wasnt that big. Probably ten feet of chain which i need more of, camping i think is 20$ a night, and the fuel was bad because the old motor but i think it was around 2-3 mpg averaging around 17mph. New motor will do much better on gas mileage

Thank you dude so you have a insta!!!! Love your whaler I had a few of your not doing anything Labor Day weekend come join me and some friends lol leaving Saturday coming back Monday always wanted to try fishing with a gun 🤝

@@blakelira7098 Let me know a week out. Maybe we can all caravan out to there

Yesvtyere is kess iunding

You have slightly missed the point. It’s the adventure with the calculated risk a father and a son taken. The benefit is far greater than the risk. They have proved that they have succeed it. Just like any other high risk sport.

Love your comment and it is right on. We look at wind and swell before going and are prepared to stay longer if we have to wait out bad conditions. Gotten a lot of people who caution me and I appreciate their worry and make sure to be as safe as possible.

Thanks man! Truth is, I bolted because I’ve never welded and bolting was a pain because you’d tighten one section and it would alter another section. Just keep going slow though and it worked out pretty well! Still standing strong

Nice man. Yeah it was definitely a good time

Nice man next time you see me say what’s up. I was worried about the wind as well and It definitely catches some wind but I’ve been using it for a bit over 2 years and it hasn’t caused me issues. yet…

Little over 13 feet

Thanks for your opinion and suggestion. Hope you have a nice day.

We never signed up for this kind of ship! I would say the boat is too small to make the crossing safely! I hope his cellfone is waterproof...if you get caught in afternoon chop of 5 feet with any wind, it would make for a miserable crossing, especially returning to the mainland. Dangerous thing to do, I would never try it in a small boat, fer sure!

It is a beautiful country

It definitely gets choppy. That's why we stayed the night.

Awesome man! Yeah all about the wind and swell. These campsites are awesome to be able to spend the night to take advantage of the light wind in the morning when going home

@@DanDanFleek any special permits required for camping?

@@MrBigmike829 you just need to go on the Catalina website and reserve a spot

I don’t remember. We kind of just ventured around until we saw a cove that looked calm

@@DanDanFleek gotcha...my son wants to do exact same thing...just need to know if its legal to overnite camp on beach...

@@coffeedollsvp oh gotcha! If you go on Catalina island website, there’s a reservation system and you can reserve a campsite. You have to camp on the beaches they have on there

Cabrillo - check your charts if u even have any 🙄

It’s cabrilleo

Could be a possibility but the beach was pretty rocky. Would have been way easier though

I gota go back… maybe this summer

I was concerned about the same and got put in a situation where it started to blow around 15 knots all of a sudden with some stronger gusts. Handled well and I think it’s because it is pretty lightweight and I tried to make the angels to help with the wind. But yeah I don’t like being in that situation anyways and try not to be in the water in anything ten knots or over

@@DanDanFleek The Angels?

@@jimquantic lol meant angles

Still using my 32. Pretty much daily for work and it’s holding up just fine so until it busts, I’m just gonna keep on using it.

I have been on both, even fishing offshore on a sail boat. But when feeding fish came up straight off our port--and the wind did not allow us to go that way, in straight line, or in fact, ever got us over there before the fish were one--yeah, I missed the engine.

sailboaters are like the vegans of the boating world... go touch grass, man

Thanks man! Well worth the work

@@DanDanFleek how much total did it cost you so far for the boat plus modifications done?$

@@thesolojourney8955 with the motor, it came out to about $1300. Only because I was able to get my hands on the foam sheets from someone getting rid of them. Plus I didn’t pay for labor haha
