Jay, as far as I am concerned both the buyer and I got a very good deal on "Playin' Hooky". I have just purchased a sweet 2005 SeaSport Explorer ("Irish Fiddler") that is now on the way up from Coeur D Alene Idaho and needed to find a new home for our c-dory quickly, which we were able to do by...

This boat is SOLD

Mike, please remove the add for "Playin' Hooky". I got full asking price for this boat off of the ad I had on graigslist. Thank you, C-Dorius, Chuck

2006 22' High Top Cruiser, $43,000 obo, Located in Girdwood, Alaska Our new to us boat (yes, it is two foot longer) is on the way up from Seattle and we need to find a good home for "Playin' Hooky". She is in very good condition. She has been loved and well cared for and is very nicely set...

wapiti I have a Dual Promariner charger on my boat and it has "custom made" cables that I believe the first owner must have made, three years ago. I have owned the boat for almost two years and haven't had any problems with the charger. seems to work just fine. The additional length wire is the...

Robbie, Like Chester, I am real happy with the Garelick Citation High back that I just installed on Playin' Hooky. This seat has good lumbar support and thigh support. The factory seat was installed on a board that had a quick disconect C channel hinge at the rear and a hasp latch at the front...

Stefan I think that the full water tank on the port side helps to keep the boat balanced. I usually have one or two friends on board and if I feel we are out of balance I will use the Bennett trim tabs. I also have a Permatrim on the Honda 90 that does a good job of keeping the bow down. Safe...

I have the Honda 8 mounted on the starboard side and the swim step on the port side. I bought the boat used and it came with a TR1 autopilot attached to the kicker that is controlled by the GPS or a hand held remote. This is a really a slick way to drive the boat. The TR1 is expensive.

John, Plaschem did a real close match for me just a few weeks ago. Since then I have found a small bottle of factory color gel-coat patchpaste (putty) from Spectrum that is even a closer match. I thought I would give it to Plaschem Supply and have them make a guart of gel coat. There will be...

Joel, PM has been sent. Thanks for your help. Chuck Playin' Hooky

Railmakers did a fantastic job for me building a tall arch to replace the short arch that came on PLAYIN' HOOKY. The truly amazing thing is that I was able to draw a template of the hole pattern and send it down to them and they matched it perfectly on the new tall arch so I didn't have to mess...
