Mike, I like Riverside,...a friend of my brother has her 32' docked there. She never uses it since she split up w her boyfriend 3-4 yrs ago. Named Pattys Pleasure. Riverside is too far around to be convenient for me though. I will probably dock at Harbour Towne off little Miami this summer.

Max that was back in the 80's when I did that so it's been awhile. I bet that was a welcome improvement. We would spend a day and a half just to go through one lock, get on the way getting everything tightened up and around the bend was another lock

At 1st I thought didn't make 26'. Everything I read started at 28' then I saw an add for alum aft decks for 26' 28' etc. if I measure and follow the bow inward on a curve it gets close to 28' but a straight shot it's 26' plus swim platform.

There are quite a few MARINETTES back up there. Have friends there but they have searays. Paties is just floating and not used now. Broke loose and banged on the dock for a while and rubbed the paint off and scratched the hull pretty good, fiberglass boat would have holes in it

I used to tow my 28'. To set the weights up, I used a truck scale at one of the service stations. It could weigh an axle at a time, so I weighed all three axles, then dropped the boat and weighed the two truck axles, not hard since I was going to drop the boat anyway.

After a little math, I moved the trailer axles a few inches to adjust the tongue weight. Not hard, after years of calculating cg in aircraft.

you will love your boat. i bought a 28 ft 4 years ago. almost a thousand hours latter love it as much or more today than when i bought it. Plus in cinci you have some good places to stop in by watter.

yes i have had very few issues with my boat and the folks on this site have helped me very much.

I bet I might of been the last person to take a ride on your boat before you pulled the trigger and bought her. I was giving it serious consideration myself. I still have the pictures on my old computer from late last summer I believe. It has a super hull and the interior was nice as well. Enjoy !! I am boating out of Warsaw Ky, so am a weekly victom of Markland's issues so we will be in Cincy twice as much next summer. I bought a different boat a couple of weeks ago but still a big . I hope to see you all on the water.

A little later this winter I would like to see if we could organize a list of local folks and their boat names from the site here so we know who's who when we see one another on the river. Mine is " Liberte 1" as of now but will likely change, not sure what to yet.

she's a beauty!!! I have a 67 32" Express.....I must admit...I love her!!!

I've been married for 40 years...so I am an "In for the long run" kind of guy......big s will out live us all!!!!

Cheers and Happy New Year, only 3 months till boating season .
Jan and Feb are going to be mild. That's from the local weather man and you know they are usually spot on!
Doug, small world...I was looking for awhile and I think I did OK on my low budget.
I'm putting in a fresh water system that was takin out at some point, got a pump, water hose and fittings from Santa.
My brother and I are going to Cumberland when it warms up. He's got a boat salvage yard and I'm getting a water tank out of an old Chris Craft with same set up as my
Boat has no name yet but good idea about the list.
Looking forward to meeting up on the river also.

My 1966 single screw is 32 foot with a Chrysler 440. They made them back then. Tape it and see you will rech 32' about 6 inches into your swim platform.

That's only one of the many commandments I have been known to break!

HUCKFIN:

WHEN I WAS ON THE BOAT IT HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK I BELIEVE IT WAS, DID YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME ON THE WATER THIS FALL TO FIND IT ?? WAS JUST WONDERING. IT SEEMED TO BE PORT BANK AND TOWARD THE FRONT. MIGHT HAVE NEEDED TO BE RESEALED. THAT BOAT WAS A GREAT DEAL, I DID NOT SEE THE TRAILER, WAS IT DECENT ???
