id like to see a november/december time of year for nice camping weather.
where exactly is durney located? im tryin to figure out how far of a tow it would be from miami.
If you check google earth or something - find the Anclote River then go north a few miles and you will see another river but smaller - Durney Key is straight out not very far - its off New Port Richey
DOGS ARE A-OK, no rules

Nov-Dec is tooo late, it can be very cold and windy, this ain't Miami= late Sept early Oct is best - full moon of Oct would make life on an island better

There is deep enough water around most of the island, you may have to wade through 1' of water for a little ways but it is pretty well protected. There are many spots you can pull very close to the beach , just bring a stern anchor and all will be well. Any who want to come to the island even w/out a boat no problem, We canhave rides for anyone coming, and if we do decide on Durney we will have at least one maybe more Waverunners for fun and tubing etc, for all to enjoy, and we will bring out a large propane grill and tables, and probably a generator if anyone needs it.

ok i like durney key too. a bit far of a tow but by then ill have the truck set up for towing better with helper bangs and c-notches in the frame so it doesnt bottom out anymore and will probably have trailer set up for less tongue weight. sorry about the run on sentence there. i looked at google for durney key and it shows a little island off the mainland? is that the right one?? http://www.clubkayak.com/greenwave/t...n&location=151

Thats it, please just move the boat back a little, you probably have way too much tough weight and it will tow much better. Very few vehiches need extra stuff to tow a 20 SeaCraft they just aren't that heavy if the trailer is set up correctly. Max is like 2500 lbs with a bunch of crap in it so set it up right and see.

Hey Bush, I'll try and bring the Big Ol'Fat Hound Dog to keep Shadow company

there is way too much tongue weight on my trailer. even though my truck didnt come from the factory with a tow package a fullsize truck should not squat that much. ive already moved it back as much as i can. now i need to move the bunks back another 3-4 inches and i have about 3 inches past the transom.. only problem is the winch stand. i cant move that anymore.

Obvisously the winch stand is the key, with a single axle a little can mean alot 6 to 12"- dual not so much.
