I learn something new every day. I am about 5 minutes from Navigator. I have launched my Kayak there and at Lettuce lake. Never heard of the Liverpool ramp before. I have to get out more.
Love your videos! I really liked these boats when stationed in Florida. Then when I moved back up to NE Ohio I invested in a fleet of freighter canoes which are the same....great cargo carriers for skinny water using small outboard. But I couldn't educate the regional folks and the business failed. This is a niche market for sure. But once you own one you see the advantages. Thanks for sharing! Rich
I've been binge watching your videos lately, you're really making me miss Florida! Grew up in Lake County as a kid, would love to go back! Love the content man, keep it up! 👌
Heck yea just found this channel I kayak out of bartow on peace river and did 80 miles in 4 days with some friends it’s awesome place but it can be sketch in some parts.. so fun !
That's my old stomping grounds, born and raised in DeSoto Co, used to go to that pavilion in Liverpool and enjoy the scenery and wildlife. Fished in Charlotte Harbor for many a day. Love it!!
Thanks for making this video. I love the Peace river. One day I hope to find a Megalodon tooth, but for 25 years now, no luck. Well, a few small, or broken ones. Seeing your videos, makes me want to record my trips.
Nice overnighter! I have a porta bote with a 5hp Nissan, Bimini top and high back stadium seats! I could see myself cruising up river with you guys no problem!😎
Camping along Peace River has been one of the things I've wanted to do ever since I was a kid. I grew up in Homeland and Peace River was just a mile away. me and my friends always talked about spending a week on the River, but we could never get our parents to go along with the idea and be willing to pick us up at the end near the Gulf.
You must have the right job to let you have the time to do this.thats my problem I have a gheenoe just only get to use it on the weekends.but I enjoy watching your videos I really do
Years ago, i did a jetski trip from Kentucky lake to the Gulf of Mexico, ending at Dog River Marina, Mobile Ala. Tennessee River and Tenn-Tom waterway was my route. I know what kind of fun and adventure you are having 👍🏻
I’m moving to winter springs soon also buying a mako pro skiff you’re videos are very inspirational would love to meet up some day when I get my boat and check out the chain on lakes
I've been canoeing and kayaking the river there for 35 years and it gets pretty shallow in spots this time of year, especially above Nocatee - there are places between Nocatee and Arcadia I've had to get out and pull my kayak. The best fossiling is above Arcadia.
@@OverlandFlorida I always check the water level on the Arcadia Canoe Outpost website before heading out. Also, the tide does have an effect as far up river as Nocatee and even a little beyond. Sometimes in winter the river flows backward from the tide where you launched from and beyond, lol.
Thats a good place to eat. do they still have the shop in the back with the meg teeth & old out board motors ? the old owner had a big collection of meg teeth Dennis was his name i think. he told me his spots like 20 years ago.
Thx for sharing. Why aren’t you using your GPS ChartPlotter maps, or even the Navionics App on your phone, they’re real time, real position? They have the depths of the waters, at least for a reference, and trim that motor before running aground🤔
The SeaDeck looks great. How much $ do you think it took to do your whole boat? Fun trip. Great scenery along Peace River, can you do the Myakka soon? Thanks for sharing!
Not sure if you ever fish out of it but I was curious to know how the stability is?! I’m looking into getting the B-60 and I feel like the thing is pretty stable with 2 people standing and or sitting fishing. Am I right..?
That`s the same boat you bought used it cleaned up nice you took out the center well but it had a Honda 20 hp. what happened to that . I have been in that river and found a lot of Sharks Teeth .
The boat is a Riverhawk B60. It's 15'9 long. 60 inches at thr widest point. I think it's a 2008. I have a 2018 tohatsu 20hp that moves the boat 30mph. I get around 20mpg as long as I'm not going up a river.
Ok, so the tahatsu 20hp currently on the boat is a 2-stroke engine? So mabey a 25HP would bump up the speed to around 35 mph, which for a boat that size I'd think would be plenty.
Do you know how to judge water depth by the color of the water ?....As water lightens up it's getting shallow. The darker water is deeper. Sand shoals can be fairly accurately judged by the shape of the stream.
Are you guys a club? The reason I ask is because my wife and me just got our second 4Runner TRD Pro. We traded our first one and I want to introduce her to the “reason” lol we needed the Pro.
