Hi Don, Thank you!! What a wealth of information... I never expected to receive such great help and appreciate the time you took to provide it. I apologize for not replying to the post sooner... had a family thing come up all of a sudden and we needed to leave town in a hurry. Anyway, I got...

Don, Thank you very much for the great information... I really appreciate the time you took to share your experiences and knowledge on these boats. The result... I'm going for it. I found a relatively new 13' Achilles with a 25 hp Yami outboard that the seller is holding for me until I get up...

Also found some Achilles SGX boats ... they look better built than the Sea Eagle's and are cheaper than the Zodiaks.

Thanks! I'll have to check it out. Who knows, I might just buy a few hundred hectares... or, $250,000,000 for the whole thing. Then we could keep it from getting developed... I wonder if they'll offer terms. Let's see, 0.25% down and the balance amortized over 300 years... We do rent at...

yeah, that sounds good, too... we'll be doing some shore fishing as well. Where's the best way to get to the estuary? Where's the fish camp? As you can see, I haven't explored much yet... but am really looking forward to spending more time down there.

Yeah... very cool. Portable launcher, huh? I was figuring my boys would be the portable launchers :grin: I'd like to see what he's put together. I can see how the pvc would give the boat some more lateral strength.

Oh, I was wondering what they were... I was a bit afraid it was some sort of elaborate bailing system!

Thanks!! That's what I was hoping to see/hear... looks like they're doing fine. I'm looking forward to hearing more from your friend. I wonder if the the RIB's are better (but they're less portable) than the others. Tons of questions...

Great. Now, perhaps it's because I'm too dense to extract the advice from your posts, but do you have any? (Advice, that is). What I'm looking at are the 14' Sea Eagle SR or the 13' Zodiac Mark Classic. Thanks much to anyone who might be willing to help with some info.

I'm just too clumsy with a kayak! But mainly, I like to fish -on the same watercraft - together with my teenage sons (17 and 19, so they're not small anymore) so we need some room. As for the type of fishing... we're no pros, we just like to throw out a line and usually catch enough to keep us...

I've been looking at some inflatables (Sea Eagles and the like) to get me past the shore breakers for some plain old recreational fishing. Tried the Kayak's (not for me), other boats are just not "portable" enough - I want to be able to launch from anywhere with or without my jeep on the beach...

Thanks to everyone for the quick replies with info and advice. This forum is a great resource. I'll follow up with how it all works out.

Hi all. Our 2006 Saturn Vue has a serious problem with the transmission... may need to be rebuilt/replaced. Does anyone have any recommendations for a mechanic or shop in RP that is qualified? The few local shops I've contacted so far do not work on transmissions (and claim nobody in RP...
