I am currently having a slant/back fabbed up like Cachitas but my canvas man felt that the large amount of clear plastic may have a tendency to shrink with sun exposure so I am having the windows made alittle smaller. My original slant\back (all sunbrella,no clear) seems to have shrunk and I...

Les, Though we have never spoken personally I have read your post here and your writing @ EQ. You present great logic and scientific reasoning with regard to engine choices,hull forms, electronics choices. Thanks for your expertice. But, I don't feel that being a LMT is straying that far. A...

Hey Mikko, I have been feeling bad about letting my Red 2003 16 cruiser sit for about 2 months now. I know sitting is not good for the Honda 40. I always service it with Synthetic Oils. Trailer is in excellent shape with new spare and carrier, guide-ons, never used in salt water. The boat...

The cruiser and angler are "tippy" as the boat with-out motor is around 1,000lbs, and the beam is narrower than say a 22. When boarding, at the dock it helps to have anyone already in the boat to move opposite the side being boarded. The boat does list to the helm side when operated solo, but...

Excellent work. Lot's of masking/taping detail to keep that gel-coat overspray off that new boat. Very nice.

Hey Karl, I'm located at the juntion of the Erie canal and the Hudson River in Waterford, NY. My 16' C-Dory cruizer wants to go out after work everyday. Give me a PM and I would enjoy taking you out to see the sights and check out the boat. I have a Rosborough also, but the 16 seems to be...

I have also made reservations at the Days Inn, at $59.99 it beats sleeping in the car. I'm looking forward to meeting all and will try to meet up at noon. Nice pubs downtown too. Hummm, beer, boats, Maine lobster....can't wait!

all i can say is enjoy what you have, as i look in envy at the photos you all post of the fish you catch and eat in the pnw, here on the hudson there are hundreds of signs at river access points warning of the dangers of consuming any fish from the hudson as they are contaminated with PCB's...

byrdman, i plan to be there, sure would be a disapointment to not see a c-dory there though, but the boat builder(s) are supposed to be there representing the boat. you bring your classic, i'll bring the 16 and park them in the parking lot! great show, great town, can't wait.

i was not impressed by the 1 year warrenty on the bruntons

A slight diversion here, but related to racor/honda clear bowl fuel filters mouted in the cock-pit against the transom; Is that they tend to take a wack once in a while, like from cockpit chairs and coolers. I have done some searching looking for wire or strapping to protect them from getting...

Well I am a happy camper because thanks to this group giving me a heads-up, I am waiting for my 26# stainless steel plow anchor to be delivered to me - free delivery and tax free. Total cost was $227. The anchor is rated by the sellers as adequate for a 37'. It is not a Hydro-bubble, it's a...

Regarding the garage door clearance, it sounds like it may be close, but deflating the tires some may give the inch or so needed to clear the door.

My 16 also has the rivet heads popping off. The prior owner replaced a few with 1 inch stainless self tapping # 12 oval head screws with stainless finish washers. They have held up well. This is where the gunnel attaches to the side panel that covers up the flotation foam. They may create a...

Here in upstate NY on the Hudson sometimes it does not freeze untill after December. There are barely any boats on the water including law enforcement types- it's a rare FREEDOM. But such freedom comes at a cost, your on your own. Last year I purchased 2 Stearns cold water worksuits. They...

Oil filter changes are often done on a cold motor in the shop. To completely change the oil the motor should be warm. But as a DIY guy I can drain the oil at least overnight and complete the job the next day. The shop is not going to do this. Then there is the question, did they change the...

If possible try and use only your own drinking water hose and not the docks. You never know where that hose has been!
