My advice, for what it's worth... Find a used 22 Cruiser. It MAY be enough boat and it's cheaper than the 25 in a number of ways...towage, stowage, powering, insuring, maintaining. It gives you 90% of the 25 experience at a big discount. And if you decide that you REALLY need the 25, you'll...

Thanks for the great replies... I guess 70 horses ISN'T the same 2-stroke vs 4-stroke. One thing's certain though...Adeline is morbidly obese (like her skipper ???):oops: . It's just that everything looks so good, I just have to bring it all with me. :disgust Well, maybe I COULD leave...

That's really helpful. Adeline is still running her original Johnson 70 and she's faster than I need at about 26 mph topped out with a 14" x 13"prop. 90% of the time I'm happy with the power I've got. It's only in strong tidal flows and bar crossings where she struggles a bit. Still, the...

I am, I am ! How do YOU think a single F70 would do on a 22 ?

Yes. 100% mineral spirits was repeatedly recommended to me by Karl, the previous owner of Scan. I specifically asked about Kleen-Heat but he was uncertain and always replied to use 100% mineral Spirits. Ace was used in their shop. Over the years I've used 100% M.S., paint thinner, and Kleen-Heat...

Reminds me of a line in my favorite movie... Kasper Gutman: I couldn't be fonder of you if you were my own son. But, well, if you lose a son, it's possible to get another. There's only one Maltese Falcon.

I'm still on 3G and i can burn through 5GBs without even trying. Tethering & streaming. No doubt the new iPad will be magnificent and I'm happy that folks are rapidly moving to 4G. Hopefully, as time goes by, it will relieve some of the demand on 3G networks. One thing's for sure, the...

Very sound advice. One of my brothers, an attorney, hectored me until I got it done. Otherwise, I doubt I would've bothered. It's easy to put off because there's no sense of immediacy. But, as Bob points out, .

Boy, I remember the day I clicked on the C-Dog shortcut and it was...GONE. :shock: Cast adrift with no port in sight I floundered about until, one day, SALVATION. A NEW site with familiar names and some new ones too. :smiled

I remember the same thing as Joe. It seems that if an old steering cable is simply going to get tossed in the trash that the quickest, easiest way is best. How about a Sawzall ?

Here is a nice site for live AIS Viewing. MarineTraffic.com

Lots of good advice here. Everybody is going to bend a prop sometime and it can create damaging vibrations. Prop, thrust washer, cotter pin. You'll need a wrench. My OMC likes a 3/8" drive, 3" extension, and appropriate socket. Needle nose pliers are nice for the cotter-pin. These show up...
