Thanks Ed I sent you a PM We arrived in Skagway after a 3 day drive from home in La Center. Some of you may know that the road in to Skagway is very very steep and quite long. It is absolutely beautiful. But it is so steep that I decided to change my return ferry ticket to Haines as I don't...

Left this morning on our Merlin road trip. Should be getting our first look on July 9th.

Glad to see you’ve got this repair behind you now. Seems like you made pretty short work of an extensive repair. Looks like you had a great trip. I’m sure the upcoming trip provided good motivation to get the job done!

My son is 16 so the boat is in my name still. Must be because of the age of the boat, but I find that a poor excuse. I will look into the other carriers listed and see if they can help. Thanks for explaining about the agreed value. It makes sense but seems way too easy to get out from under a...

I’ve been using progressive for Hammerhead and have added Merlin to the same policy. I am paying $1002 per year for comprehensive on both boats. I found it interesting that Merlin‘s insurance was more even though I valued it at less. I’m guessing it has to do with the length? Another thing I...

I’m hoping to submit photos of Hammerhead and Merlin this year

We are going to be in Juneau for a week starting on July 8th. We will be fishing out of Merlin, our new 26, provided it is seaworthy. It would be cool to meet up with someone who knows the area.

There are different grades of stainless also and the lesser grades will rust too. Even high grades that are contaminated with carbon steel will get rust spots on them. Contamination can happen simply by using the same saw or file that has been used on carbon steel. My roof rack and fillet table...

Thanks for keeping this going. I’ve got some to submit this year

My 2003 had exactly what your illustration shows

One thing to keep in mind if you repair only the transom first is that there is no resin or epoxy barrier between the hull coring and the transom coring. So if you repair the transom, but the hull is still soggy and wet, it’s going to get the new transom coring wet unless you’re careful to seal...

I use the raw water wash down all the time and also have it plumbed to the galley sink for dishes and whatnot. It has a ball valve directly on the thruhull and we make sure to close the valve when away from the boat but otherwise leave it open for use.

You are in luck as I just did this trip 4 weeks ago. Probably best if you PM me with your number and I’ll give you a call. There is a lot to discuss. It was overall a fantastic trip and we will be returning to Baja. You have the right idea- take it nice and slow and you will have a great time.

Nope, that’s exactly how it’s done. I’ll be ferrying my new to me boat in July.

Sorry to hear this news, especially as boating season is starting. I have a 2003 and I had to replace the core in the transom also but it was the lower part of transom. One thing to consider, since it is may. I had a lot of rotten core in my hull and transom, but I did not have any soft spots or...

I have dri-deck in Hammerhead and don’t care for it. I want to make some floorboards but the truth is the dri-deck may end up being good enough that other things are higher priority. The worst thing about it is it can slip out from under foot when you are leaning against the gunnel nearly...

Jeff, to be clear, is the unit up for sale or offered up for free? If free, I would love to get this for my 16 year old son. He is restoring a 1968 Reinell. We could pay for shipping, of course. I could include a little extra beer money, if needed. Let me know please, Thanks!

Congrats Jon and Carey, C-brats are the best. I would love to boat the PWS someday. Have a great time

Another question: Do messages in the outbox ever expire if the recipient never opens the message? I had a message in the outbox for a long time and now it’s gone but I’m not sure if that means it was read or if it just timed out.

Thanks Tom Hope I can get my trailer fixed in time
