If you plan to cut an inspection hole in the cabin sole, be aware that the hull next to the back dinette seat and next to the cabinet door on the otherside (just inside the cabin door) is very close to the bottom of the cabin sole at the two sides (about 1/4" clearance underneath). Therefore...

Hi Dan, If yours is an 08 made by C-Dory (or Fluid Marine), then you would have the same configuration as Matt has and Bill described. That is, the bulkhead does not extend to the to the bottom of the hull and the stringer does not go down the middle under the aft cockpit deck. I would start...

Hi David, It appears the Cape Cruiser folks changed tank styles (ours is an 07). On our tank the fitting on the top of the tank is welded at an angle that parallels the angle on the side of the tank. When you insert the pick up, it goes in at that angle (about 10 degrees--see photo album)...

How did those of you with a bronze screw-in bilge drain plug go about the installation? I assume you drilled the old hole over-sized (how big?), and then undercut to fill the whole thing with epoxy. Drill for a new drain tube and screw on the bronze fitting with the screw-in plug. Did you...

We built a current and voltage distribution module to fit in the stern lazarette. The module is about 12 x 12 inches and about 3 inches deep. The start and the house batteries are housed in the same compartment to the right and left of the module. We ran two circuits forward to the helm using...

Hi Bill' Your description of the build process of the 07 Cape Cruiser describes our boat construction exactly, and explains some of the differences different owners have determining where to put inspection ports, etc. Tim and Dave Kinghorn

Hi Bob, Sorry, I meant to post a reply to you, but I entered it as a new post by mistake under double hull. I once did something similar when I sent an Email to everyone instead of just the person I intended it for. Oh well, older but not wiser. Tim and Dave Kinghorn

I've posted pictures of the fuel lines on our photo album's site, Sound Venture, that show the angle of the line going in the tank. Tim and Dave Kinghorn

Hi Casey, I originally planned to cut one opening forward as Matt did to allow me to vent the area out the rear inspection plates between the tanks by placing a fan over the forward opening. Alas, when I cut the forward inspection hole, I found water to the bottom of the hole! As I had...

Hi Bob, On our Venture the deck in the aft cockpit and in the cabin is sealed on the sides and at the back. The only openings are those I cut to get rid of the water. The deck is cored balsa between two fiber glass layers; the top layer is about 1/4" thick. This looks much like the design...
