46 mile run from Dana Point to Two Harbors Catalina Island. Held 25 knot cruise at 3500 rpm.

Looks fun! How much gas did you use?

Looks to be about 2/3 of the 18 gallon Moeller tank. Works out to +/- 3.8 mpg. I brought 2 more 5 gallon jugs with me and there's fuel sold here at two different places on the island.

Love it. Two Harbors is the best. I think the family and I need to go camp there....

And that's a complete guess from the built in fuel gauge on a rocking boat.

Yes! Make the run from Ventura! Just talked to some people that did it this morning in about 3 hours.

We were planning on driving to San Pedro this morning but a friend convinced us to just get off the freeway and leave from Dana. Less time on the highway, more time on the water

"Get off the fwy at Dana. Less time on the Fwy, and more time on the water."

Sounds familiar.

Wife was ok with you taking the smaller boat?

Any idea ,price wise yet?
Know of a yacht club photog needing a RIB, but unsure of her budget yet

Is this still available? Look for a boat for diving the Channel Islands.

ncp · 20 June 2018, 23:41

Haven't been using the boat at all with a youngin' in the family now. I pulled it out of the garage a few months ago and it started right up.

Let me know if anyone has any interest in this boat!

Located in San Diego

Hi Tom,

I might downsize from the Willard; I need a runabout to chase the kids in sailing school and those Avons with the floodable floor sit so nicely down on the water.

I am in Coronado Wed thru Fri so I could stop by if convenient; cannot recall what part of town you are in.

Cheers,
Karl

I just picked up a 1991 5.4 Avon. Appreciate the motivation as I am about to start my restoration

ncp · 23 October 2019, 18:44

A little more motivation

I don't know if I've posted these elsewhere...heading to Catalina. We ended up pulling away from the buddy that took the pic. He was an 18' Zodiac with a Yamaha 115

I'm giddy to get rolling with this. Have to reseal the seams, put new topcoat on, re do the bottom paint and then we're good to go. Engine is new, fuel lines are new and electrical wiring is new. Just gotta polish up this old betty and gtg.

We'll be doing similar trips. Catalina out of LB or DP. Too far from down here in SD.

Word on the street says this RIB is up north making rounds at the Farallons.

ncp · 01 January 2021, 20:46

So glad to see it's being used and enjoyed!!!

Anyone looking for a super cherry zodiac 533 with dual outboards?? I’ve got one that we need to let go. Please PM if interested.

Boat is located in San Pedro on a trailer and is always covered.
