I live on Steamboat Slough just off the Sacramento River at a place
called Steamboat Resort. I'm the only allowable live-aboard and I love
my little corner of the world. I was the first boat to get in here in
ten years, the place only holds 7 boats total so the waiting list is
years long.
I bought the Matthews from Ben Mozzetti down on Taylor Slough and it was
a real messed up deal. As it turns out I came out way ahead but it was
sure hard dealing with old Ben. He's changed a lot since I last dealt
with him 22 years ago. Sad.
I have been working on her for 15 months now and am just about done with
all the essentials, next come the "frills" and the continuous work to
keep her shinny and well varnished. Truthfully a labor of love.
Next time you are headed this way send me a note and you can take a look
for yourself.

Hey, Ron!

Good to see another River Rat around these parts.

Saw the pix of your Matthews--obviously a labor of love. Where is she berthed?

My current fleet (well, a Gibson 36 and a Four Winns 195) live at Caliente Isle,
in Taylor Slough.

Remember--the season never really ends in the Delta!

Just looking for fellow power boaters, sail boaters, bathtub boaters in
my area.
Recently got my 43ft Matthews running and am on my 4th shakedown cruise.
Pictures on my hobby website listed below.
Any other "Matthews" owners would be a real find. Not many out here on
the west coast.
Thanks

Ron
