Re: Tow a Tandem Island behind a 30'er?

Wow, that is a great idea! I've been trying to sell it for $6000, willing to take $5000, but nobody in my landlocked area can afford it. I could probably ship it for the $1000 I'm willing to lose on...

Re: Tow a Tandem Island behind a 30'er?

I decided to buy a Zodiac Zoom Aero 8.6' from defender for about half what a new welded seam inflatable costs and a Suzuki 6hp engine. Sold the Walker Bay and the davits to my slip neighbor for $200...

Re: Tow a Tandem Island behind a 30'er?

I have the oars. I don't want to row. If I take the Hobie, of course I'd be prepared to cut it loose if I needed to. Sure are a lot of people here who plan crossings in bad weather...

Re: Tow a Tandem Island behind a 30'er?

You can't put an 18' Trimaran, or even just the kayak, on the deck of a Catalina 30. The Walker Bay 8 barely fit and covered the anchor locker, which will be a hazard if arriving in heavy weather.

Re: Tow a Tandem Island behind a 30'er?

I don't have the tube. I have tried a 29 pound Honda 2.3 on it. The boat nearly flips over backwards when attaching the motor. Then to steer it, you must be sitting on the floor in front of the...

Re: Tow a Tandem Island behind a 30'er?

Thanks! That's really relevant. My boat is 5 feet larger, so that should help. I tether everything, but if I were doing a crossing, I wouldn't have anything installed on the Hobie anyway. Last...

Re: Tow a Tandem Island behind a 30'er?

I don't have a problem. I was just wondering if I would be creating one. I'm starting to feel a little optimistic about it now.

Re: Tow a Tandem Island behind a 30'er?

I could possibly detach the amas and carry them on the deck for crossings. Then, I'd only be towing an 18' kayak.

Tow a Tandem Island behind a 30'er?

Hoping I don't get laughed out of here, but I have a 1989 Catalina 30 with a Walker 8 hanging from davits. It's pretty useless for anything but rowing, as any motor you add to it is too heavy and...
