Hello All

My wife and I purchased our first boat on July 31 2009, and have been hooked ever since.

Looking forward to discussion with fellow boat owners.

Thanks

Welcome, nice camper. Why don't you tell us where you're located.

[Thin Ice]

We live in Vandergrift PA, about 30 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. We have a riverfront camp and dock on the Kiskiminetas River (a tributary to the Allegheny River). We can be found on our boat or campsite from Friday afternoon til Sunday evening every week in the summer, and some weekday evenings (if work permits!)

Welcome. I love the total enclosure on your toon!!!!! Is it difficult to see out of?

[Thin Ice]

Thanks.

No not really. All windows have roll-up blinds and screens, plus they can be individually un-zipped and rolled up or completely removed. We normally boat with all the panels removed, and use the camper top for overnight stays. Im really happy with it. I can put-up or take-down the entire enclosure myself in less than 5 minutes.

Welcome to the forum. Posting a picture in your first post is a good move. You will find that we love pictures here. You will also find plenty of good advice and answers when you need them.

Welcome - Nice looking setup. Was your enclosure made by the manufacturer or custom made elsewhere?

[Thin Ice]

Thanks everyone. I am fairly new to boating and am always looking for info or suggestions. I spent alot of time reading articles/forums on here and learned alot which is why I decided to join. I look forward to hearing more from all of you and maybe even offering a little input if needed.

Friar: My enclosure was custom made by a company from Pittsburgh called Tumacs. They did a wonderful job and we are very happy with it. We have spent quite a few nights on it already.

I spent all last winter building the docks you see in the pic. Learned alot about dock building if anyone is inquiring.

Thanks again.
