As I posted earlier. Spend the extra dollars on one of these. https://www.goodwindlass.com

From what I have read on the Hull Truth forums the Good windlass are suppose to be one of the best out there.

Barkeepers Friend is a great product and can get in a spray or powder form. Great for removing rust also. And it's cheap.

People have been using aluminum boats in saltwater for years and seems to me up in the PNW it is material of choice from what I've read but could be wrong. I own a glass boat now (19' Angler) but next boat will be aluminum (Raider Voyager 2484). Eventually is your key word but how long is...

I have a 19' Angler. First ocean boat I have owned and have learned a lot over the last 5 years. Luckily I have two buddies who already had ocean boats/experience I learned from. My opinion on going offshore period. Get a different boat. Get a boat with better dead rise, a flat deck/fishing...

I am in same situation as you but kinda. My first question to you is will this be your last boat purchase? I am getting ready to buy a new 2300 Farallon Sportsman after I sell my C-Dory 19. There are not many used Farallons on the market let alone a 2300 with outboard motors. If the RIGHT used...

My PM was for fellow C-Brat Top. Did not send you any but congrats on the sale. Someone got a great deal on your boat for 19 grand!!!!

Sent you pm Top- Let me know if you got it.

That's a great price/steal for a 19. With no disrespect, is there anything wrong with the boat/motor?

Agreed about 2 would be a crowd that's why I say forget the 16. I fish the Pacific and my 19 has been in some nasty weather and not by choice. Lake Superior can get nasty quick without warning and you would really need to pick your weather days with any boat of course but especially with a 16...

Forget the 16. I have a 19 Angler but as the name says its more fishing than cruising. I would not put more than 3 people on my 19’ for fishing as it can get a little tight. If you are gonna have sometimes 4 people and do overnights and don’t plan on doing much fishing get the 22 cruiser. You...

I was not comparing the two boats as there is no comparison. Re-read my post Was just mentioning Steiger Craft as it is built pretty much in his backyard. Not going to get into a discussion about which boat is better. Like I said I own a C-Dory and like the boat. Just an option for him to check...

Hello Russ - I own a C-Dory but have a question. You live on Long Island, have you checked out Steiger Craft? They are made right near you in Bellport. The Stegier Craft DV Miami will be my next boat.

I used this exact same setup when I installed my washdown system. When I installed the bronze thru-hull I undercut the material back, epoxied then installed with 5200. No problems thus far. If I was the OP I would ask exactly how he installed/prepared the hole for the thru hull as he seems...
