Hi Brad- There must be holes in the portside deck where the original pedestal was. You can remove one of the screws from the helm pedestal to get the proper size. Welcome to the C-Brats. You have a great little boat there.

I had the aqualon. It was fine.

I do understand that you want to keep the boat in the water year round. For me, one of the advantages of the 16 is it's easy trailerability. (is that a word?) as well as launching and retrieving. Granted, it's an added cost, but there is usually storage available at the marina or close to it...

Once, going through the Hiram Chittenden locks we tied up to a Corps of Engineers boat whose job was to pick up flotsam. It was equipped with a crane for the big stuff. I wonder how you can contact them if you come across a log.

I would recommend getting an electric wiper for the helm side windshield.. Otherwise, on the cruiser, you will be jumping up every time you have to use the manual wiper.

god, those Canadians are nice people....

brackets

west marine and others have these garelik steps somewhat less expensive. https://www.westmarine.com/garelick-coc ... 2_007.html Get an extra set of brackets so you can move it to the other side too. We had these on our boats and really like them.

I like it. Nice font. Readable. :thup

Perhaps bring it up for the Friday Harbor get together and have the template made at that time.

I had a 5hp Honda on our 16 footers. I really enjoyed puttering around at its max speed, 5mph. But, if I were to do it again I would opt for a 3.5hp Tohatsu, probably $700 less expensive, 20 lbs lighter, and almost as "fast".

Get a 16 footer. Find a nice resort or motel wherever you launch from. Let your wife enjoy the land base while you play around on the 16 footer. You'll both be happy.

My advice is to have a slant back made as well as the dropdown "door". For me those two canvas items, along with a driver's side electric wiper and the articulated trailer tongue (which I think you have), are basic 16 cruiser necessities.

Well, my secret was marrying a woman who spent the first 18 years of her life living aboard a boat with two parents, two brothers and a dog. When we bought our first boat she only had two demands, the only wood could be a flag staff, and the cleats had to be beefy. We've been married over 60...

Harvey- your kindness blows me away. I guess we are really rich already. Like the hymn says, " I was blind but now I see."

If I were rich I would buy the new 16 footer at Master Marine in Mt. Vernon. ($45,000). Then I would have it put in dry stack at the Coal Creek ramp in Bellevue. They would put it in the water for me and I would cruise passed Bill Gates house where we would exchange a friendly wave. Then I'd...

We saw a few off Point Roberts about a month ago.

the great salmon conspiracy was hatched (get it) in a D.C. pizza joint. I know this because I read it on newsmax.
