    Marine A/C installation in a 25

    You’re on the right track with the Duetto 3, much better fit than the Bosch, and the 12V option is a game changer. Moving the water heater to make room for the battery bank was a smart move. For freshwater use, you’ve got it covered, and having the window unit as a backup is a solid plan if you...

    CA Boating changing forever?

    It’s a bummer to see the closures, especially when it’s such a hassle to go through the inspection process every time. I hope more solutions pop up soon so it doesn’t just keep getting worse.

    Thoughts on adding a High top

    There is some great feedback here. I'd love to see any modifications done to make these boats more comfortable for us taller types.

    Finally a day on the water!

    Where are you anchored? The shot with the Cooper River Bridge in the background? I live over in Mt. Pleasant, I have a little 17.5' CC for now, but a C dory is next on the list. Hopefully I'll see you out on the water. If you see a little blue scout with a red headed giant waving at you, that'd...

    HawesPiper Interior Mods

    Have you had a chance to run it yet with the additional weight up front? It won't be much (100 lbs?) but I'll bet that it is noticeable in choppy water.

    Hull value????

    Well, what did you find out. This boat is local to me, but I have been busy with work and not able to pursue it. It really isn't what I'm interested in anyways.
