Actually it does drop off quickly. You may notice the floating ramp attached to my swim ladder. We use it so that we don’t have to disembark in waist-deep water. We are fortunate here. About 3-4 feet from the stern it’s well over 6’ deep...and all beautiful sand. No rocks, sticks, clams or mud. Most of the beaches on our section of the Ottawa river are like that so we can always back in and tie off.
Grand looking lady.
What year and who made her? Denny.
Very fortunate. Lucky ducks. Our sand beaches have way to many rocks but we make the best of it, but we mostly do tie ups on anchor or just floatin along. Both are fun.
Its a 2001. Holds 600 gal of fuel, 200 gal of water. 5.5k genset.....................
I had to check out the Ottawa River on Google Maps. Wow. Very nice sized river.. I am on the Ohio River. 45 miles of cruising between damns. Once or twice a season we lock through and go upriver towards Pittsburgh or downriver to Cincinnati. Is the Ottawa similar with damns and such where you to lock through to go real far?
Its a Pacific Trawler 40. Single screw diesel with a diesel genset. She's a 40 footer with a 12.5 beam. Top speed 14 knots and cruise at 10 knots with a bow thruster. It was a 3000 watt inverter/charger built into the electrical system. So underway I has A.C. power without running the genset. That blue thing on the roof is the inflatable and the davit system is a crane. It can be lowered from ether side, port or starboard.
I love the older girls, when you see them going down the water, they have something to say.
She should put a smile on your face every time you are going to be with her, I know that mine does.
The new boats today are like cars, if you pull the name plates off them, you don't know who built them, they have lost their identity. Denny.

Very very nice. Where bouts is your home port. Do you travel from from home on that baby?
I made your image full size.
Home port is just north of Boston. We mainly take the car to the slip. But sometimes if we need to go home, we take the inflatable and walk 2 blocks. Thanks for making it bigger!
The thing is, we like to go places. Most of the time with other boaters and their boats are no faster. But now we can carry more food and water. Plus with the genset and solar system power is no longer a problem.
I only had her out on the sea trial. But at 26k lbs and with that keel I am sure that 3 to 4 waves will not be a problem.
