What's the Smallest Boat You've Taken To Catalina...

Rd are you serious?

10' is the current boat to beat.

Anyone? Anyone?

I took my 10' Schiada to Catalina and back in 1989 or so. I was much younger and pretty stupid in those days! In fairness I was with my buddy who was driving Dinsmore's old 21' TT schiada so we were kind of like "Parent/Child........lots of comments that day!!:skull

I can say for a fact that they will!......although the legality is questionable as there is technically only 2 seats in the boat and you are supposed to have 3 to be legal!!

We had no problem pulling a skier with the 12'er (40 HP) which had a ski pole and got pretty much anyone out of the water on one ski!

The 10'er with only a 30 HP and the harness thingy off the 2 tie down-rings on the back of the boat would get my 100 lb wife up on one ski but everyone else would have to use 2 to get up and kick one off but was fine once on plane!!

We did get scolded by a ranger once for skiing without a place for the skier in the boat....."What would you do if there was a problem" was his question and we just said "Thank you sir.....we didn't think about that"......Asshole!!! (Although I think the last part mayhave been under our breath

My little 19' Cobalt has been over there a few times. It was orginally sold in California and I have mooring reciepts for Catalina Island. It is a heavy ass deeeeep vee though and probably not that bad of a ride.
