Howdy pardner! Boat talk

Postby Barrett50 » August 1st, 2025, 11:27 pm

I purchased a 2006 Voyager Pilothouse 57 last Nov. This is my first summer of use, and only had it out of the slip twice.

I have a lot of prev boating experience on 18-27', this is my first big boat. 52,500 Lbs worth. I'm in N Texas, retired engineer and do only pleasure cruising, a bit of fishing and a little skeet shooting, but I make up for my lack of effort by drinking a lot. But - not on the high seas, er - high lake?

I was so worried last winter about freezing I bought a bunch of the anti-freeze for the water system. My slip has power year around, but it's possible for the power to go out. I was the only one in the marina that drained my fresh and added the 12 gal of anti-freeze. The engine room has the ceramic heaters, and is below water line(kinda).

Still have a lot to learn but having a good time tootling around and towing a jet ski. I likely have to post a few times to add pics, but once I can, I'll add a pic of my ride.
