What's your boat?
I never really see any one's boats here. I like to see pictures of every subject...for I learn from the content to be a better traveler in Baja.
Anyone like to share their boat pics and maybe some good insider's info on why you have that particular boat/setup...would be great.
I plan to get a something next year.....and dont have a clue. I am sure there are others here...in the "same boat" :-)
My Gregory is a duplication of "The baja Catch". Yes....works well for hard to get places. The roll wheels on the back are very helpful. Oh...is the
set up good as the Baja Catch was? Yes. Yes. Yes. I just added a umbrella for shade.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

We started cartopping with a 12' Duroboat. I don't like pulling a trailer if I can help it, and I think a 14 would be too much to lift alone. We have
been out far enough for tuna and dorado, but it is better for inside. When I bought a house in Baja, I also bought a trailer, and now launch the boat
with a quad. The boat stays in Baja.

...we upgraded too, but I think we're having more fun:
After Carlos Fiesta took the "Vaka Viti" from San Pedro down to Cabo and then back up to the Colorado River by himself...he was ready to sell it. Seeing the value in the
boat, Juan y Juan went into partnership with Carlos. We brought it back up to Long Beach where the old, 40 hp Yamaha was taken off (yes, over 2,500
miles cruising both sides of the Baja with it!), replaced it with a couple of Honda's and a great seat that has a cooler below. Brought it back to San
Somewhere, had a local welder make a very cool launching/towing set-up for the surf and haven't looked back. A great fishing platform that is totally
Baja proven for sure! Originally from Fiji, the Vaka Viti is right at home and loves to be pulled by the "Baja Ferrari" (Suzuki Samurai)...a towing
match made in Heaven!

12' Portabote!
6" thick (like a windsurf board) when packed. 6 Hp pushes it to 19 Mph. Have had it 10 miles offshore in Sea of Cortez. Wont sink. Rides smoother
than a Zodiac. Great boat.
Can'l find a pic right now.

Sold my 18' Westcoast'r a couple of years ago to build my new Baja Casa ( completed thank you very much) and now we just play around on these. This is
a transition photo, two were for sale and two were just purchased.
I would like to get another tin boat for Baja though, maybe next year. My wife wants one with a console, I said, OK!

KLAMATH 15'
Bought a 15' Klamath because it was the largest
boat I could still trailer ANYWHERE - into the
nastiest places. Had to build a trailer to carry
it + ATV, gas, water etc for extended camping.
Beautiful boat and worked well all through
Baja - but does not work well here at the
ranch because we launch through heavy
Pacific swell - DO NOT PUT A TILT-CONTROL
MOTOR ON A BOAT YOU ARE GOING TO
LAUNCH THROUGH HEAVY SURF.
They don't tell you that at Baja boot camp.

Also Had a 15' High Laker. Really high free board but not very seaworthy. It did catch a lot of salmon.
Then there was my 1st 8' Livingston. Even had a cabin Great "little" mooching
boat if the current wasn't too strong.
