Mountain Boating @ 1,100 feet

Postby Evan'sWay3607 » March 12th, 2021, 11:13 am

New member Carver 3607 aft cabin on Okanagan Lake BC

Hello all,

We have loved our Carver for 17 years and done most of our boating in the Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence River, where our favorite anchorage was behind Leek Island off Gananoque Ont.

A family job transfer to Western Canada brought our boat across the Rocky Mountains to Okanagan Lake in 2012, where we enjoy spectacular mountain views in over 700 feet of cold fresh water and 40 miles of cruising range from Vernon to Penticton.

There are more large cabin cruisers than you might think on the lake, some awesome moorings, and many rest in the water year round.

We spent 33 days in a row on board last season, 31 nights off the dock, and plan more time this year.

Great Social Distancing :pirate:

Enjoy 2021 everyone.

Welcome aboard BC.

Curious, when you first moved her out there, did you have to make any adjustments to the carb to accommodate the new altitude?

Yes indeed, the mechanics did adjust the carbs. My observation is those glorious big blocks idle more smoothly now than they did on the St. Lawrence. :captain2:

Welcome Aboard. We all sure would love to see some pics of your boating area. I bet it is breathtaking.
