    Air conditioning options for CD 22 or Venture 23

    I researched many ac options and ultimately went with the low-profile coleman cub. I could not be happier! I plug in my honda 2000 with long run tank and sleep very cool all night. I understand the first post was looking for other options because of the looks of RV ACs and I agree but the pros...

    Mr. Buddy Heater

    Have any of you used one of the Mr. Buddy Heaters? I found a few on clearance at the local wallyworld for 68.00. The box states that it is safe for indoors with a low oxygen shutoff and it is supposed to heat up to 200 sqft. Where I boat I rarely need much heat and when I do it is at night...

    Spare Prop

    (All boaters should have a spare prop) Yes!! I do now. Two weeks ago my wife and I were on a trip from Mobile to Destin Florida for 5 days. The trip was going great until my boat started to vibrate. After diagnosis I had hit something and broken a blade off of my port engine prop. We limped...

    permatrim questions

    Hey guys, this is my second season owning the 22. The first summer my wife and I spent many hours on the boat and loved it. The only drawback was the ride and the pounding in chop. I did research the boat and even visited Dr. Bob before we purchased the boat so I was well versed in the...

    permatrim questions

    Thank you all for your help on the decision to install permatrims. Over the winter I installed them (very easy installation by the way) and this past weekend my wife and I took her out for a weekend getaway. The boat performed fabulous and I was thoroughly impressed. It was windy most of the...

    permatrim questions

    Thank you all for the info. It looks like I'm going to install permatrim and if needed tabs later. I understand there are different brands or type of permatrim. Is permatrim the gold standard? If so where to buy them? I went to a permatrim website but I think it was based out of New Zealand...

    permatrim questions

    I have a 22 with twin 50 hondas. I am considering trim tabs but I see that many of you guys have permatrim installed. Are permatrims used on twin engines? I don't necessarily want trim tabs if permatrims have good results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Wiring problems (I think)?

    Thanks all for the help. I am still diagnosing the problem but I think I have one portion solved. Jenny Katz suggestion of low power maybe part of the problem, I didn't think about this but I ran the stereo for several hours while installing the vhf (low battery) could be the problem when I...
