    Towing a Rubber Inflatible

    I am planning a cruise to Maine on my 24 ft. voyager and was considering taking(towing) an 8ft. inflatible dingy with me. Has anyone done this for any distance. In medium seas 2-3 ft. would the dingy be stable when the boat was on a plane 20 -23mph ? Any advice appreciated-Lew

    chafing bowpulpit -mooring lines

    :D Hi ! I have owned my 1997 Grady Voyager since Nov 2009 and put it in the water about 3 weeks ago. I am new to this size motor boat-I hve mostly been a sailboat racing guy. I would like to get some opinions about how this boat should run in a chop. To me, it bounces around too much in a 2.5...
