Even the right color! :D

Even the right color! :D I bet one could even fabricate an adapter for lifting an outboard off a transom.

I've seen bedliner material used on aluminum boats. One of the reasons was to make the hull less likely to hang up on rocks, when running the river, as aluminum can be a bit "sticky". The other application was for older riveted hulls that were prone to leak. Sealed them up tight!

You will need to verify that the tank(s) are certified for bow placement if you go that route. Not all tanks are. The bow is subject to more pounding then the rest of the boat, hence the extra rating.

I just went through this a couple of weeks ago, but elected to leave the tank in. That way if the boat is sold, the new owner (or me if that's what it took to make the sale) would have an easier time converting it back to the marine head. We ended up with a Thetford unit, because it was what we...

Your boat is about the same weight as ours, but how much gear and supplies can add up quickly. We have a Chevy Duramax dually, and at times it may seem as an overkill, though there have been times I wouldn't have wanted any less. Those sections of rough highways, like that between Seattle and...

I like both your wheel and footrest. Where did you purchase them from? I had the same issue with the helm hitting my legs, but was able to raise the dash almost 2 inches. I still wouldn't mind a smaller wheel though, especially one like yours. :thup :thup

One exception to warranty repair would be if you ever had any issues with water intrusion. Then it would need to be taken to the dealer or manufacturer of the RV.

Was thinking it would be nice to run off the inverter while underway. Then we would have hot water if anchored, without having to run a generator. Plus the batteries would have time to recharge (when the waterheater shuts off, and still underway). Our inverter is only rated for 1000 watts. I...

I'm following the lead of several of you that have replaced the 6 gallon waterheater with a 2-1/2 gallon GE unit. The six gallon unit, besides being large, was mounted right behind the cabinet door, making access to the rest of the storage space nearly impossible. So it needed to be moved, or...

Would it be possible to have one forum for the other Triton boats, (Skagit Orca, Osprey, and SeaSport) such as the Marinauts, and Rangers have? A lot in common with the C-Dorys, being pilothouse cruisers.

Kinda hard on the meter though :wink:

My wife and I are in the early stages of planning a trip through the inside passage and into SE Alaska in 2013. What seems to be the most reliable communication? We both have our General Ham tickets, and an older Icom 735 HF rig I bought years ago that lends itself well to the job. Looking at...

For those that remember the Flicka 20 sailboats..... The inside of the roof has an arched lamination so no compression pole is needed for the mast. (making the interior roomier) Something on a smaller scale, (like the battens mentioned above) should work great.
