We use our wireless remote on Widget to do what we call "The Widget Back Step". This consists of backing onto a shore by setting the bow anchor at an appropriate distance from shore. Then, with the engine in reverse, the Admiral at the helm to steer & cut the motor off and me on the swim step...

Hi! Nice looking boat. I see you have twins that look new. sorry to tell you Widget is done for the year but we can certainly plan to meet in Frenchman Bay or at the Cranberry Islands next year. Dave & Valerie

Yes, Chapstick! Also good on zippers.

Congrats Steve! The 2nd owner previous to you had C-Nile around Mark Island, Maine near Winter Harbor. I always liked the name, wish I had thought of it first but then I was not thinking so sharpe at the time. The owner I'm thinking of had her well equipped and took great care. He actually...

Singlecross we keep Widget, a 2003 22 cruiser near Winter Harbor and we could arrainge ride & inspection. Perhaps meet you at the Bar Harbor town wharf & do some cruising in Frenchman Bay. We are around a lot of weekends, just can't give you a date at this moment. Send me a PM with a phone...

There is a micro switch on the circuitboard that the lid triggers off when up up and on when down. It is located such that any spills off the back of the cook top drip on the switch and it gets stuck. Very difficult to clean & is soldered to the board so not easily replaced. It is easy to...

I would say its was more od a "squeal" and always got comments from slip neighbors about "the belt slipping" on my motor.

My 2003 Honda 90 made a similar sound to your description(squealing/singing) at about the same RPM only in gear & changing the prop stopped it.

Hey Mikela, did you notice on the C-brat map there is an owner in N. Berwick & my self in Cape Neddick? we try to do a cruise or two each summer.

Jackie, Unrelated to balsa core, but I was in 3rd Armor, Hanau '76-80. Where were you?

Widget had a leak at the deck fill plate for the water tank. It is positioned so any rain water on the gunwale runs over the deck plate. The water would finds it's way under and around the tank?

Colby, maybe the mice in Maine are tougher than the mice in Wisconsin, but I found nests on top of the mothballs, no issues after switching to the dryer sheets. I do replace/refresh them @ 6-8 weeks. Once, on first launch of the season, had at least a dozen or more mice scrambling out of the...

Any sign of the prop hitting debris? Is th prop SS or aluminum?

Land locked salmon Vallecitio Reservoir.

My fall storage ritual is I park the boat, rv antifreeze the fresh water system and toss a tarp over her. 16 years no issues 2003 HondaBF 90, tanks full, empty or in-between. Just saying.

Thanks Stefan.

in addition to San Carlos, there is Bahia Kino & Roosevelt Lake. I was a Sierra Vista zonie for 10 years.

RAM mounts are quality products. I've used a suction cup mount for an iPad and it never slips or comes loose, even in heavy chop. Amazon has a full selection.

Ah, the critters. Since Widget sits covered near wooded area, I initially had lots of trouble with the critters. Tried moth balls, they built nests on top of them! I hand nests in the starboard lazarette, on top of the fuel tanks and in the frame rails of the trailer(where they chewed the...

As you may have found in other post, another source of water/moisture are the screws holding the stem guard to the hull. Look for protruding/exposed screw tips inside and look for seepage when it's in the water.
