Different strokes, for sure. I had no trouble getting on plane with 75 h.p. at about 3/4 throttle. Light boat and trim tabs. For my use I prefer the smaller engine to the 90s. And of course very few Brats will agree. Have a 90 Yamaha now on a 22, have had 90 ETEC, and several 90 Hondas -- all on...

60 HP is plenty for a 22 angler if you stay light -- as I do. Lots of other views, of course -- and I have a 90 on the present angler. I fish 2, sleep 0 and keep the boat as light as possible. The Angler was designed for a light 2-stroke, and the 75 Suzy on the 22 "Little Buddy" was a beautiful...

We just did the bulkhead on the 22 classic. Beautiful job, and will send pics... don't have any right now. Teak-faced marine plywood, and with a few coats of Cetol looks much better than new. Now if I could just afford some Catch 22 saddle tanks! :lol: :lol: Dusty

Hello C-Lou, Sure miss you guys... fond memories of so many fun visits over there. Like the song says, "Dont get around much anymore," but think of you often. Stay in touch! :love Dusty

Great day! Fillet and release size for sure. Good thing Cynthia wasn’t along because she ALWAYS catches the big ones! So happy you are enjoying your home-away-from-home!! I’ll try to get over that way soon – used to be a short trip, now it’s an all-day affair. Of course I could come by boat, eh...

Robbi, :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: What makes it even worse -- they caught it right in my own backyard. Lived a couple of miles from there as a kid (yep, I was one once). :love Dusty

I'm surrounded!! Too old to fight and too young to rock. Was going to shrimp today but my partner had to work. (horrid word) If Les will start working on the old C-Dory Classic just maybe we can make some of these fun gatherings. I'd certainly enjoy a brew or two (Snoq. that is) with some of...

Hustle girls? We don't do that -- just want to discuss world affairs and local eating spots. :wink: :wink: It's the Marines that do that hustle stuff. :lol: :lol: Dusty

Sorry you must have surgery. OMG! Hate to see you kids have problems while still young. :wink: :wink: Hang in there and big hug to Sally. Duster

Timely topic. Two weeks ago BOA called and asked if we had relatives or friends in Spain who were authorized to use her card. Heck no, sez Diane. Big money (for us), but BOA took the rap, issued new cards, etc. I know their reputation, but I've been with them since 84 (that's 1984, Don) and...

Lyle, She looks great! The thrusters surely make a difference in close-in handling. We have a stern thruster on the Tolly and it makes a seasoned pro out of a newbie. Diane is drooling! Her kind of boat for sure. Big hug to Shelley and big thumbs up :thup :thup Duster

Agree with Roger that Neah Bay is a great jumping off place. There is much boat traffic that direction, so go with a buddy boat if possible. I usually go along the Van. Island coast. Clear customs at Oak Bay and go to Sooke. RON Sooke and leave at first light. Port Renfrew is good, Bamfield...

Oh My!!! Didn't realize she was 28 years old. Bring her up here for some more seafood so she can listen to fishing talk. :wink: :wink: Congratulations for sure! Dusty

Great choice, Lyle. Please don't leave us though -- come back down to EQ and have a cuppa or we can go up the street for a latte. As you probably know, we have a 30-year-old 26 Tolly in the family. Slow, yep -- but fun. Bob is right, the Tolly finish is "okay" but lots of room for mo' betta...

I wouldn't buy tires without first checking our C-Brat who owns tire stores in Bend OR -- think his 25 is at EQ right now. Give Les a call -- he has Bob's number, and Les is running on tires he went to Bend to buy/install. Dusty

Joe is absolutely right -- many fish-hooks in some deals. Then again, trust and judgment often come into play. We recently bought a Canadian boat based on emails alone -- no survey, no friend looking at the boat, etc. A risk perhaps, but all ended well. The boat was better than stated, and we...

Old Dusty uses the Porter Cable 7424 and loves it. Joe's write-up tells it all. A family-owned 30-year-old 26 Tolly needs a bunch of TLC right now, so the 7424 will get a real workout. Used to do this all by hand, but the fingers all point different directions now -- rotary is mo' betta. And...

I use them unpainted but have the hook higher -- use with and without a herring teaser and can't notice much catch difference except not having to drag a dogfish up from 600 ft is a plus. Attaching a small piece of felt soaked in my favorite smelly stuff seems to work for the halibut. My...

Gee Robbi, First liar doesn't even have a chance! :lol: I'm still a bit ...em...er... you didn't even call when you took out the 16. :roll: Dusty

Larry, Y'done good. Couple of years ago EQ had a customer take that route in the dark -- and made it. Wheeeew. He didn't know how to spell tide -- and even though I have no idea what alcohol smells like :wink:, I suspect he may have had a couple. Duster
