Boating Combined with Sun, Sand, and Water in Sarasota

Boats, Sun, sand and water are the things Sarasota has lots of, and not all Sarasota beaches are the same. There are six islands in Sarasota's extensive shoreline, revealing its own kind of sandy beach texture, recreational hot spot options and naturally beautiful people. Don't worry, you don't have to choose just one.

Named number one in the world by a great many beach experts, Siesta Key's beaches are the beach standard for white sandy beaches.   A long stretch of white sand  which won't burn your feet and is cool to the touch run along the waters of the Gulf at Siesta Key's shore, perfect for sandcastles, long walks, sunbathing or a soft place to curl up under the sun for a nap.  Although smaller than Siesta Key, Lido Key is a great big variety into a compact area.  The Lido Key's north end features tan beaches packed with shells and a nearby a public park, with nature trails. 

Head south and you'll find another beach that is similar to Siesta Key Beach with white sands and many recreational opportunities. On the island's southern tip is South Lido Park, bordered by Sarasota Bay on the east, Big Pass to the south, and the Gulf of Mexico to the west.  There, boaters drop anchor in the calm waters of the pass to come ashore and picnic in the park or enjoy the waves crashing on south Lido's Gulf side beaches.

Longboat Key is a more private beachfront community than many areas of Sarasota, geared more to people staying at the island's fabulous resorts than to casual visitors. Still, Longboat's world-class dining scene draws people from all over.

Venice Beach is one of the best places in the world to find shark's teeth, easily sifted from the sand and shells by people of all ages. (Don't worry; these pointy, triangular fossils -- naturally shed by sharks over their lifetime -- are due to a quirk of ocean currents, not sharks off the coast.) There's also a massive fishing pier that extends into the Gulf, as well as dining options overlooking the beach.

Also in Venice is Caspersen Beach -- easily the largest in Sarasota -- featuring an unbroken vista of rolling dunes as far as the eye can see. Even your furry friends can get in on the action at Brohard Paw Park, a Venice beach where dogs can frolic in the surf and dig to their hearts' content.

Casey Key is regarded as a private refuge studded with multi-million dollar homes, including one belonging to famed author Stephen King. That privacy has its advantages for visitors, as well. Casey Key's public beaches -- including North Jetty Park and Nokomis Beach -- feel like a burst of old Florida. Each Casey Key beach is a cozy nook packed with amenities without the hassle of crowds or development.

The beaches on Manasota Key off the coast of Englewood in southern Sarasota are hidden gems. Even the two most popular beaches on the island -- Manasota Beach and Englewood Beach -- are rarely crowded. But Blind Pass Beach and Stump Pass Beach are so unknown you can pretend to be stranded on a deserted island. At least until it's time to drive into Englewood for dinner, that is.

No matter where you're staying, or what your particular beach personality is, Sarasota's sandy shores offer enough options to satisfy even the most exacting beachcomber.

You know me, I'm a boater through and through.  I think there is a boater in all of us!  Hope you like my pages!

Since 1938, the Rivolta name has been synonymous with design excellence, sweeping from land to sea as the companies of the Rivolta group bring innovative and responsible development to a new generation of products.

From the late 1940s and 1950s when Renzo Rivolta senior introduced stylish motor scooters and energy-efficient automobiles to post-war italy, through the production of the superb sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s. through highly successful real estate development in the united states, to the current design and production of the state-of-the-art sailing and motor yachts, the Rivolta family has sought to demonstrate that efficiency and high performance are compatible with beautiful design.

The automotive world still cherishes the breakthrough city car concept of the Isetta "Bubble Car," as well as the dazzling design of the vehicles which followed: the Iso-Rivolta GT, and legendary Grifo, Lele, the first high performance four-door car, the Fidia, and Varedo automobiles developed under the direction of Renzo's son, Piero, which still stand today as examples of design taken far beyond what were considered the technological limits of their time.

Today, as Rivolta real estate developments flourish on the southwest Florida coast, Rivolta yachts, guided by Piero's son Renzo, produces a full line of motor yachts aimed at the client who seeks an innovative product with both clear references to classic design concepts and the latest in high-technology design, construction and performance.

In short, the Rivolta story today blends italian design flair with american reliability and international elegance. in their line of yachts, luxury meets high performance in a setting of unrivaled comfort. this is the present-day expression of the ideals and standards of the first Renzo Rivolta, who believed that innovation, beauty and reliability could be combined in products of lasting value.

Boats are a hard nut to crack these days with all that's going wrong with the economy.  Just tonight our president talked about doing whatever he felt was the right thing to do for our growth regardless of what the congress and house would do.  I think it's a big mistake.  First we need to reign in on responsible spending. 

So when I compare our nations debt crisis, I look to my own fiscal statement and think I'm doomed to only being able to afford a row boat.  Is that wrong?  Should I spend the way that our president does?  If that's the case, i'm looking for a lender that will finance the boat or rather mega yacht pictured above here.   We're all spending a yacht budget on a row boat income these days. 

Possibly what I should start looking at are sailing vessels.  Low cost for point a to b travel.  I've seen some pretty inexpensive sailboats but I'm thinking they're low because of neglect and the possible need for lots of costly repairs. 

Maybe I should take a few years off from boats while the economy is bad. 

Maybe that's what I'll do.

More to come later...

Today on the news a cruise ship in the Mediterranean that ran aground gouging it's side and taking on water.  The captain of which is now in jail for not only failing to do his job as a captain but also for abandoning ship before making sure that his passengers and crew were all safe. 

The root of this I can't help but think that the tide had something to do with the accident.  I mean, it's a cruise ship.  They run the same course every time with every group of people I'd bet.  But rather than this being a case of running off course, I'd guess that someone didn't check the charts or time of day and the depth of the sea in this area based on the tides.  It's truly a shame to see such a loss of a ship like this.  It looked like it must have been quite a cruise liner. 

No matter what size boat you operate, you have to know the waters you are in.  Simply pushing through the water blindly is just a wreck waiting to happen.

My heart goes out to the families of all the lives lost and to those whom are still missing.

1/23/2012

This whole cruise ship sinking brings me back to a time when I was just a younger guy just out of college with some at the time, silly ideas.  One such idea which I actually submitted via a patent search or invention submission company was a system for raising private yachts that had recently sunk.  Or better yet to prevent them from ever reaching the bottom of whatever body of water they were in at the time.  I never heard back from the company on my idea and don't know if anything ever came of it but I'm now wondering if my invention could be used in this situation. 

The idea as it was, would be a pressurized system that detected water submersion and if so, would inflate a raft if you will that would float on the surface of the water and allow the sunken vessel to simply hover just under the waterline.  I'm not a physics expert, but if you pulled the plug of a boat, let her sink, there has to be a way to calculate the mass of air needed to keep the sunken mass from going down any further. 

I figured that this would be a great invention for insurance companies to promote to their customers.  You'd just bolt in some way this pack to the bow of your vessel and another one or two to the back as well.  If submerged for a few minutes or longer, the airbags would deploy and float the vessel just under the waterline.  Then a tow boat could come and just tow it back to shore to a waiting dry dock or crane depending on the size of the boat. 

If you look at the cruise ship in italy, it's on it's side in only I'd say about 60 feet of water.  Fitting the ship with some air bags on the starboard side along with the same amount on the skyward port side, would raise the ship off the bottom and possibly even right the ship. 

Just think if a ship like this had my system or ida in place before this happened.  They could have prevented it from even tipping over or going this far!!!  It's kind of the same concept of having a RIB (rigid inflatable boat) emergency concept device that could be connected to the side of a ship in an emergency to prevent sinking.  Who knows, maybe it'll surface someday.

SeaDek offers a large selection of colors and color combinations.

In this video Jason Gardner will show you how to create a template of a swim platform using a SeaDek template kit to be sent back to the SeaDek factory to have a custom swim platform pad made.

Template Kits

Use our SeaDek template kits to create your own template(s) to submit to us for a quote and to begin production of your pads. This kit includes the following:

1, 2 or 3 sheets of clear Mylar plastic 40" x 80" 1 indelible marker data form 1 template instructions 1 set of EVA foam color samples.

Once you have the kit follow the simple templating instructions. The cost of the kit is refundable upon purchase of a completed pad. Though the templating process is pretty simple, there are DIY video instructions to help you.

Sheet Material Features

SeaDek offers a complete line of non-skid cut pads and sheet material that are perfect for any area on a boat that requires improved non-skid or padding in areas frequently used for sitting or kneeling. These products protect boats’ surfaces, preventing scratching and chipping. They also cover up surface imperfections, helping it look like new. SeaDek is made from soft, durable, UV resistant EVA material specifically designed for the marine environment. SeaDek is a closed-cell material so it will not absorb water.

Perfect for the “Do It Yourselfer” all SeaDek pads come with our robust, marine grade, peel-and-stick adhesive backing for easy installation and are available in a wide range of colors.

Comfort, durability and a finished look and feel are all characteristics of SeaDek's line of stock and custom swim platform traction pads. SeaDek is made from closed-cell EVA material that will not absorb water and is easily applied with our long lasting, easy to apply peel-and-stick adhesive making SeaDek superior to other traction alternatives on the market.

Each pad starts with 5mm foam on the bottom for comfort and shock absorption. A thermo embossed, 3mm layer is then added to the top for durability and superior non-skid performance in both wet and dry conditions. Next the marine grade PSA backing is added to the pad. Next our CNC machine routes a finished bevel along the outer edge of the pad. Finally a logo is routed into the center of the pad. On stock items the SeaDek or boat manufacture's logo is routed into the pad. Custom text and graphics can be incorporated into the pad as well.

Malibu®, Monterey®, Moomba®, Supra®, Yamaha®, Chaparral®, MaterCraft®, Tige® and Sea Ray® are just a few of the brands in our catalog of swim platform pad designs and our selection is growing daily. If you don't see your specific boat and platform don't worry, we will work with you to template your own boat using the template kits available from our online store. This short video will show you how to template you boat: Template Video.

What's your take on the this?

We'll show you a gas boycott!
THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO    $1.30 PER GALLON. 
  
This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive.  It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton.  If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please. 
  
Phillip Hollsworth offered this idea.

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! 
It's worth your consideration.  Join the resistance!!!!
  
I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!!  Want gasoline prices to come down? 
  
We need to take some intelligent, united action.  
The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. 
 
It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. 
BUT, whoever thought of this idea has come up with a plan that can Really work.  Please read on and join with us! 
  
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap.  Me too!  It is currently $3.30 at Arco and Costco for regular unleaded in Salem , Oregon and climbing every week.
  
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $2.50 - $3.25, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers. 
  
With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. 

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas!  And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. 

How?  Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. 

But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war. 

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. 

If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices.  If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. 

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers.  It's really simple to do!  Now, don't  wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how  simple it is to reach millions of  people!! 

I am sending this note to 30 people.  If each of us send it to at  least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ...  and those 300 send it to at  least ten more (300 x 10 =  3,000)... and  so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we  will have reached over THREE MILLION  consumers .
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! 
 
If it goes one level further, you guessed it.....  THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! 
  
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people.  That's all! 

(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people...  Well, let's face it, you just aren’t a mathematician.  But I am.  So trust me on this one. 

How long would all that take?  If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days! 

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you!  Acting together we can make a difference.
 
 

You have only the rights you are willing to fight for!
 

If you think of it this way, your boat is made up of many many layers.   All the rubbing compound did was remove the bad layer to expose the good layer underneath!  Of both gelcoat and also of paint (which was faded).   The boat after 3-4 years of ownership now looks like a brand new boat!!!  I'm stunned and soo satisfied with the results.  I still need to do the back of the boat and will do that soon.  But for now the Krazy Klean does a good job to make it white.  Just not shiny.  Maybe I'll have a chance to do it in the morning before the wife and kids get up.

I'm planning on redoing my eisenglass with all canvas to make it easier and quicker to put up and take down and also so that I'm not continually damaging the plastic eisenglass windows that always seem to yellow and get all disgusting.  Plus I can't wait to be able to just fold up the sections and put them under a seat or something.  I do also still plan on making a eisenglass set as well as a total screen set.  That way I can have all the pieces for either total privacy, bug protection but still wind and air, or protection from the rain while still being able to see or whatever.  So I'm about to buy, what kind should I get? 

Yes, I know, most people who do this screw it up,  I plan on it.  For what the material cost is I can screw it up many times and still save a ton over having someone else do it.  Plus what I'm looking forward to is the pride of knowing that I did it myself. 

So what do you think?

  Anybody know what classifies a "Ski Boat"?  Being in Boat Sales I get asked this question all the time.  Providing it has enough power you can "ski" behind just about any boat, right?  I look forward to your response.

we've been boating seriously for about 10 yrs and started out with a 2455 Ciera sunbridge. nice enough boat for a starter but danged difficult to dock in any kind of wind or current...it would spin in a new york minute...

then we moved up to a Maxum 2700SCR...we got a good deal on this one concidering it was an engineering model....it was equipted with tons of extra's...6.2ltr mpi with b3 drive....4.5 kva genny...ac/heat...winch...built in gps system...it was really a great boat and would take us anywhere in the puget sound...she was easy to drive and really an awesome boat..but with 2 dogs and us...it was tough to move around with a 9.5ft beam...

so..we started looking for a bigger boat...we looked at 4winns....searay.....maxum's...you name it....we almost went with a deal at a boat show for a used 360 searay..but it wasn't a real deal per se.....just then the bottom fell out of the industry and boating prices dropped like a stone....after about 6 mos and very frustrated at the types of boats we were looking at in the used market...my wife decided to call our good friend Mac of lake union searay in bellingham wa....he tells her he's got a really nice boat that might fit our needs.....he tells us to let him get it up to bellingham..it's presently stored in a warehouse and he'll give us a call later in the week with numbers...

well...bout later in the week Mac gives us a call and tells us the numbers for the boat is 189k..(way out of our budget)...the good news is 50k is taken right off the top cuz it's a 1 yr old boat..(note..it had 1.3hrs on each engine when we got to the marina).....plus a factory incentive of 24k...then there was our trade in....valued at 32k(not what I was looking to get but sometimes you deal some at the top to get some off the bottom..or visa versa)...anyway...we get up that weekend to bellingham and the marina....

The 340 is already in the water and both engines are idling...smooth as a sewing machine...the crew is finishing off wiping the boat down and getting things running on the boat....she's gorgeous....black and white (we vowed we'd never own a black and white boat)...but this one we fell in love with.....she's long...35 ft...11.5 ft beam....roomy as hell....the crew takes us out and the only thing I can find is that there is a slight leak from the head and the throttles are completely out of adjustment and stiff....she has twin 5.7mpi engines and b3 seacore drives....

we take her out for seatrails and before we know it we're up on plane and running with huge grins all over our faces...the wife and I are just completely taken on how she handles ....we hit about 40mph and run over wakes left and right....the boat just goes bump and we're done......she didn't even feel anything we tossed at her.....when I go out on a seatrail..I like to take some wakes to see how they will take the bumps...how she takes water over the bow or across the beam....how the trottles respond..how the engines respond to throttle inputs....how the drives react to trimming...I don't like to push the speed of the engines until she's properly broken in....

once we got back from seatrails....the wife and I couldn't get the smile off our faces as we signed the papers and the sales crews paced nervously ....we get the manuals for every system and shake hands with Mac and the store manager....

the wife and I stop at a local boat shop and pick up 2 fenders for our new boat..and then go for a well deserved lunch at anthony's on the bay in bellingham....completely shocked we got such a great deal on a brand new boat....

so far the 340 has been spectacular....we had an issue with the bellows leaking in both drives ..thus requiring both to be replaced at Bayliners expense...now we're all set to go for many yrs of great boating with a wonderfully spacious boat...

so far about the only thing I've needed to do is add a tv in the midberth and some minor repairs....but overall the boat has been absolutly amazing and comfortable....and fast....did I mention how fast she is capable of???...the sales crew told me 50 mph...I didn't believe them....last time I was out alone..I decided to see what she was capable of while heading up river...there wasn't any wind...water was flat and the current was calm.....I hit the throttles and instantly jumped up to about 40mph......then as she planed out (well below 40)...the speed of the boat started increasing quickly...hit 45mph rounding the bend....48mph as I was running out of river before hitting the no wake zone....and I hadn't even started trimming the drives up ...at 4900rpm...I was running at 48mph....yep..she'd hit 50 mph with no sweat.....

t

What do you think, do you like it also?

Who knew?  am I just slow on the uptack or did everyone else already know about this on google?

So, Is it possible to keep birds, bird droppings and other unwanted animals away from a boat if there is a possible threat of a snake on board?  

I've seen a boat on my dock which looks like it has an owl mounted on the very front of the bow rail.  Is this for the same effect?

Anybody have experience with something like this?  I really hate snakes, but if it works, I'll try it! 

we (the wife unit and I) live and boat in the puget sound in washington state....some of the most amazing boating on the planet....we have a 35ft 2008 bayliner.....monster boat from my other ones we've owned...but loving it ...she's big...fast and roomy...can't ask for anything better....

hope to make more contributions to the site in the future...

Steve

30' Hunter Sailboater here.  I'm also a powerboater.  So I like this site as well.  When i was a kid there was a kid in grade school that used to call me popeye because my dad had some old broken down wooden sailboat in the driveway.  I don't know if he was gealous or not but he helped me get the name.  I've got a small ski boat with an outboard like in my avatar but I also have a 30' hunter sailboat.  Both work well for a guy on a limited budget. 

Anyways i just wanted to introduce myself since it seems that's what some others on the site are starting to do.  I've been on this site for months.  I like it.  it's fast and once you get aquinted to how this guy built it, it's very easy to make your way around.  It seems to have been built as if the builder uses the site.  I think hes dotcomd.  He seems to have the most stuff on the site and hes always the first one to post in most of the sections. 

In any case, I'm Popeye the sailor man!  toot toot!!

I'd love to see replies from the guests we had out there.  So let's get this thread going!

Is there anyone doing the great loop?

My name is Branden, I'm the moderator and creator of this forum.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions about the site and or this forum relating to new topics, sub topics, the BOASTY event, or anything else. 

Have fun and keep it clean please.  No canned ham here please!

So should anyone else like to head up an initiative to get people involved in the BOASTY event, please reply to this forum, list any contact info you'd like anyone to have to contact you about the event. 

If you would like to contact me, please feel free to contact me at 630-299-6999 for the details about the event and how you can help.

Thanks, Branden

Any experience with this?

This boat only had 1/8 of a tank of fuel, no water, and on top of that only two people on board.  They dare to post numbers and fuel burn numbers which I'd guess are supposed to make it look good.  But when i run, especially on long trips, I'll run with 3/4 to full tanks of fuel, full water, and with 5-8 people on board.  Do that, and then you'll have some numbers to post. 

DO IT OVER BOATING MAG!  Test it again and get back to me!

All tug lovers are invited owners or not.

Be sure to give full details on the form of what you will do with your guests for the day.  If you have any questions or would like to make a donation to the cause, please call Branden @ 630-299-6999.

However, If I were able to build a complete new hard top for the boat that looked like all the new hardtops on all the new boat lines coming out I think it would make my boat look just about brand new!  Most of these boats are between 500k and 900k for the same basic boat that I have and also have that hardtop look.  If it cost me $50k to make the hardtop it'd still be a great deal because I'd have the look and features of a new hardtop on an older boat that looked really cool!

So, does anyone know of a company that can get me started or do the whole thing?

What do you guys think?

From your berth will be able to view the races from a very special flybridge. Or you may choose to view the races from another perspective on the Bay itself. From E-Dock the entire Central Bay is five minutes away. You will be on the Bay directly opposite Alcatraz and Angel Islands.

“Chardonnay” is a very economical boat to run. If you decide to motor out to the “Cup” or to Fleet Week, Opening Day or the jump to Sausalito you will be using less the 2.5 gallons/hr at a 7.5 knot cruise on the renowned Ford Lehman 120. She has excellent manners at sea based on a well found hull with a very effective, high bow flair, very high freeboard and a full length keel for directional stability and protection of the prop. She is a safe boat with high full stantion railings all round and 360 degree visibility from the flybridge. This makes her an excellent family boat with superb entertaining capability. She can sleep eight, but entertain up to fifteen with ease.

The expansive flybridge is now protected with a new double-panelled, heavy duty canvas and can seat six. This greatly expands the upper deck surface and useful deck area. It’s also warm enough to keep the bridge “toasty” during the Bay’s cooler days.

The interior of the Chardonnay is a showplace of the finest teak paneling and cabinetry throughout. She is an excellent representative of the trawler class. She features cabins Fore&Aft. The Master features a queen center-line berth and a NEW full head with tub shower. The forward cabin carries two double bunks and a full “wet” head.

Chardonnay is in excellent condition, which reflects the owner, a fastidious and careful sailor with many years at the helm. He describes Chardonnay as one of his best boats ever. This will become apparent as you tour Chardonnay yourself. You will find a boat that has traveled to Alaska and Mexico, trips for which she is designed and equipped. As you might expect, the engine room is immaculate and reflects the care and maintenance this vessel has received. A 4.5 kw Westerbeke generator in a sound shield and a Freedom 2500 watt Inverter provide ample 110v power while at anchor or underway.

In sum, “Chardonnay” is a dream come true for the fortunate person or persons looking to invest in a brilliant, fun-filled future. You can rest assured that this deal will not last.

This is a great family boat that gets exercised on a regular basis, so it’s fresh and ready with about 600 hours on the clock. Every piece of machinery on the boat works to peak performance.

The engine spaces are superbly engineered and accessible. Thoughtful additions abound. But the owner upgraded the boat further with a remote oil changing system and new oil coolers for the engines and transmissions. Katie carries a Mercruiser 7.5Kw GenSet powered by a Toyota four cylinder motor, which is amazingly quiet. She features a new Garmin 4208 Radar/GPS/Chartplotter plus Sonar. The combination of features on this system is astonishing. The custom sonar head was installed by the owner himself. Katie also sports complete canvas, which makes the upper decks a great place to be.

This is a boat you will love like the owner and his family do now. It’s the complete package, the perfect family boat, extremely safe, solid and well found. This is a Sea Ray that will come to you with absolutely total documentation, everything. He has all his receipts, all manuals, all logs. He’s a pretty serious fellow about his machines.

On the inside, the Sea Ray legend continues with same quality and thoughtfulness that are the hallmarks of the Sea Ray tradition. Katie has two great staterooms, either of which could serve as the Master. With three wonderfully accessible air conditioning systems, Katie is comfortable in all climes. For your family and guest requirements there is a full-size refrigerator in the galley.

This owner and family are prepared to part with Katie reluctantly in order to step up to a significant, new family opportunity. Now the opportunity is yours. Take it! Believe it; THIS IS A BOAT YOU SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN.

Looking for a fishing boat? This Bayliner 2802 Trophy Walkaround should be at the top of your list. A new one will cost you twice much as a new one.  "Seaquester"has better equipment, which now includes a four-place emergency life raft. 

The 2802 is a durable, traditional fishing boat with family cruiser accommodations. Thanks to a wide 9'9" beam there is plenty of cockpit space and a roomy cabin. A large cockpit with a full height transom, and padded coaming. The 2802 cockpit features: transom door, fold down jump seats, raised bait prep station, storage lockers, tackle drawers, and rod storage. Comes equipped with hardtop mounted rocket launchers, and Danforth Duport anchor. Electronics include: Autopilot, GPS, fish/depth finder, and Furuno LCD Radar...

Helm station has hardtop and side curtains. She's ready to fish.

The cabin features: forward convertible u-shaped settee, a compact but competent galley with refrigerator, single burner stove & microwave, and enclosed stand-up head. There is a aft berth under the helm that can also be used for storage. The Trophy Walkaround is a serious fisherman that can double as family cruiser with kids or grandkids.

Powered by twin Mercury 225 Optimax outboards Seaquestered will get you where you want to go when you want to get there. With only 29 original hours on the engines they are ready to provide years of service. Extremely clean and well maintained. Ready to fish?...

Additional Items:

Here is a boat to get excited about. This is a Californian, made in Taiwan.  Every now and then you run across a boat of this calibre. Here's what we mean: "Kodiak" is a fresh water boat that has truly been loved and it really shows in the extra touches: there are two Norcold refrigerators (one for fish) and a custom-made bar in the salon. She has complete canvas coverage which includes custom fitted exterior, see-thru privacy screens and insect screens for every opening in the boat. The upholstery is woven Native American fabric, which is extremely comfortable and very durable. Kodiak is carpetted throughout.

Fiberglass decks provide ease of maintenance and are cool to the feet. Exterior wood (just enough to accent it's classic trawler lines) is in excellent condition and treated with Cetol. It's wide walk around and large transom deck are perfect for fishing or entertaining. Her moderate size makes her ideal for docking or maneuvering in tight places, and helpful in finding an open slip when visiting unknown ports. Her main-deck single-level design, large wrap-around windows, and twin sliding doors, provides plenty of interior light and a 360 view from either steering station as well. Wide comfortable side decks make moving from the dock through the transom door to the bow or lower helm a breeze. The spacious fly-bridge provides seating for 10 and a full bimini from helm to radar arch.

One of the most thoughtful additions is a mister for the aft deckdriven by the wash down pump for those super hot days. There is custom cover to provide shade on the aft deck. The aft deck is a fantastic fishing platform. Fishing is what trawlers were created for after all. That same aft deck area is great for entertaining or relaxing. Kodiak features an up galley adjoining the salon. The fly- bridge, which can seat ten, is another area that guests seem to enjoy especially. The view is a full 360.

Kodiak features a beautifully matched mahogany interior that is warm and inviting. She sleeps two in a large Master Suite forward. The port side settee, with its 11' length, can be pressed into service as a second berthing area for one. It faces a high-low table that is stowable. She comes with a single head with stall shower. The galley, on the starboard side is fully equipped including an Emerson microwave and a full three burner Princess stove that has never been used. The lower shelves are custom slide-out type. It makes it easier to reach those back shelf items.

Below decks you find a clean, accessible environment managed by a very fastidious Diesel Mechanic-Owner. Access to the engine spaces with a 4 foot clearance, is complete with entry fore, aft and from above in the salon area. Kodiak carries an Onan 4Kw Genset. The engines carry 3,840 hours and are in excellent condition. The engines start on the first cold crank. Oil is changed every 150 hours and she burns very little. Kodiak is very economical to operate burning only seven gallons per hour running both engines, cruising at 10 knots. Kodiak's owners have all records and logs consistent with constant monitoring and upkeep. The drive shafts feature dripless shaft seals.

The flybridge carries most of the instrumentation carried on the lower helm, except the radar screen and features new electronic tachs. The other difference is an Icom ICM59 VHF on the flybridge. With a 360 view this twin engine Californian is very easy to drive and handles blue water with ease. She has fished the Farallons, the Northwest and Mexico. She is safe, dry and ready for anything you have in mind. KODIAK IS PRICED TO SELL. What are you waiting for?

"On the Plains of Hesitation lay the bleached bones of countless millions who stopped there to wait. And there they died...waiting..."

Maintenance Incentive: This boat uses dual batteries. At time of purchase, I will replace both with brand new batteries. I will also pay to have the engine serviced to give you confidence in your purchase.
