I mounted my stereo in the center of the forward overhead shelf and mounted the speakers on either side of the stereo receiver. I bought a marine stereo from West Marine. The speakers required a circular cutout. The back magnet of the speakers are about an inch from the roof. Maybe not the best...

My average speed according to my GPS was 13 mph. I ran at 20 -23 mph for a lot of the trip. Total miles was calculated using GPS and backed up by ICW mile markers on my charts. We were loaded for a two week trip. I guess that means we were fully loaded. It didn't seem like we were over...

I am just returning from a trip up the ICW from my home waters of the Indian River Lagoon to Savannah, Georgia and back via the St John's River to Lake Harney where I had a buddy pick me up with the trailer. I spent two weeks on board. I have a 2000 22' Cruiser with a 2000 carbureted Honda 90...

Sebastian Inlet, Indian River Lagoon, FL

I have wondered this myself. I carry a sea anchor for this purpose.

All of my information is correct. April is a great month to have!

I don't have trim tabs now but may want to install them in the future. I keep reading how it is one of the best improvements for a CD-22. I was shocked when I first heard my boat pound in the chop. Thanks for the feedback.

I have a Mini Jacker auxiliary motor mount. I am trying to determine the best position to mount this. How far off the main outboard should this be located?

Keen eye you have. I wondered if anyone would catch that. I have installed the metal rail using stainless screws with lock nuts. Tonight I have cleaned the rubber and will wait for warm weather this weekend to finish this job. It is easier to work with the warmer it is. It seems that when...

New photos in my album of this project. I'm always looking for ways to store and organize stuff on board and I came up with this bookshelf. I used some leftover plastic from another project and utilized the space behind the table under the port gunnel amidship. I made book ends on...

Shelf Behind Table

I have thought about a boat exchange also. I'd like to do all or part of the Inside Passage but would be open for most anywhere. My territory for trade could be my home waters of the Indian River Lagoon in East Central Florida. I also visit Abaco in The Bahamas every year and can have my boat...

Some boaters leave their plugs in the boat. Some examples to leave the plug in would be if it were kept in a covered lift on your dock or in a covered rack at your marina. Some boats have a false floor and when rain comes in it mostly goes out the scuppers and the bilge pump gets the rest. Also...

I have been planning this trip for a few weeks and from what I can gather it is possible to go from the St John's River up (south) the Ocklawaha River to Lake Griffin through Haines Creek to Lake Eustis to Lake Dora to Lake Apopka. There is another lock between Silver River and Lake Griffin...

Looks great! Thank You Tyboo.

I have decided on a name for my boat. My wife's name is Petra and she is from Slovenia. Not many people in America have heard the name Petra and get confused on how to pronounce it. I tell them it sounds like petrified. Hence the name of my boat, Petrafied. I like a name that is unique and can...

Will-C's response was so well stated that I have nothing new to add to this thread. It would be nice to have a way to give an individual post an anonymous "thumbs up" meaning that you agree with that poster but didn't feel a need to post a reply. A simple "did you you agree with this...

If anyone is interested, I have uploaded two videos of our cruise in The Bahamas. This first one is us getting sucked into The Crossing, a cut between Little Abaco Island and the western extension to Little Abaco Island. This was blasted for use by fishermen and saves them the 14 miles of going...

I have finished a project that has been on my list of things to do. Two storage shelves under the galley counter. Both made of some kind of plastic that I had laying around the yard. The top shelf is eight inches wide and the bottom is five inches wide. Both have a lip to keep stuff from falling...

The frame of this cheap Sterilite drawer system is screwed to the top shelf.
