i went on sat. i think it was about 5:00 and most of the people dissapeared and all the people that were left just had a piss up around all the big boats. the beers just came out of no where. i felt left out with no beer so i left shortly after. but stoped of at the pup and smashed down a beef n reef and a couple of jacks before comming home

Best 20 bucks you'll ever spend. I'm sure the rest of the guys on here are already members.

would that be the cannyon
would that be the cannyon runner?? my fav is the 7m one. i dont think i would ever buy one though. but it would make a great offshore boat and you have the twin motors for peace of mind

true true!
Yeh couldn't agree more, doesn't matter what size the wind picks it up and dumps it on ya. They have so many good things going for c/cons but the salt showers dont do it for me!
