I tried photographing with my phone camera the different levels of visibility, but couldn't. It wanted to either focus perfectly through and it was easier to see out my phone than in real life, or it focused on the fabric and it looked worse. I'm sure there's a setting where you can adjust the...

Sharing a temporary video sharing link (happy to send a new one to anyone finding this down the road if it's expired, just PM me). A non-scientific experiment showing wind through Textilene 90 vs Phifertex Plus vs Textilene Open Mesh. Canvas maker said to use a candle on one side and blow...

I, too, found out the hard way with my 22 that at 3/4 a tank (marked and visible on the tanks in front of you filling up) that it will fire up a foot out of the fill hole and splash everywhere. Well surely that won’t happen again, not when I’m waiting for it… it did. So now I just baby it and...

I just was minutes before you posted, humorously (and thank you). You have the only 22 I've been able to find with the aft curtains angled back (like Katmai) and eeking out a bit extra bimini length. Is it tricky putting the curtains on from inside, with your rear supports passing through the...

This shows the line formed with fully tilted out, and with just/mostly tilted out of the water (still leaving a tiny buffer between the tape- representing a curtain and/or table, and the cowl). Both well within the lazarette body. I could go a little further back and have the prop out, most of...

Thanks, Stephen. Yep, I saw an arch one, a rectangular slot one, and one that just had a baggy aft curtain they tilted right into it until taut (and, when down, also pushed it back with a cooler until taut). I hear you on the "just do that and cover the bug holes when you stop", as well as the...

Still trying. If tilted to just be out of the water (not fully up) and using the slant back snap attachment locations, a curtain could extend up to a bimini bow fully behind the lazarettes, but then you have the triangle tubes. Alternatively, I now see I could maybe have the bimini go back all...

Unwrapped the boat today. With this outboard (2019 Honda 90) there’s just no way to tilt it up and out of the water while also keeping the cowl behind the lazarettes— not even close. Pics show: one pic fully tilted up; one pic tilted just out of the water (fist pic); and one pic tilted just...

Did you have a frame / bimini already? (Let’s do my canvas arbitrage idea from a few posts back, hehe) May it bring you many dry and story worthy memories… I, meanwhile, flip flopped back to the 90% mesh. After chickening out on that idea, I went to finalize my design and get a price for...

Chickened out & going with sunbrella & clear vinyl… gotta prevent the worst outcome which is cold wind and rain for the shoulder seasons up here. But, paring back the features for cost concerns. Will do a taller and vented awning connector piece with bug netting, clear sides no netting “smile”...

Thanks. I saw some like that, where it's almost like a mailbox opening for the motor to poke its head into the enclosure. It wouldn't be bug or waterproof, though, without some next suspenders/belt layer. But that might be the way to think through it.

The tan one is from C-Eagle. Here are some more pictures showing how they did it. I think they just made the aft curtain "baggy" to allow the motor to push into it, because it also looks like they have a cooler pushing backwards from inside the cockpit at another point (unsure if it's snapped or...

Well I've found the pictures necessary to "prove" it can't be done "on the same plane" (were I able to get on my boat now, it would have been much faster!). I've seen a few splashwell tables that, for a single motor, have a notch cut into the back to allow tilting. That notch is forward of the...

I had this picture saved from the Rosborough owner's group, showing a Marinaut rafted up with a RF-246. Doesn't show a C-Dory, but still might be useful in comparing the scale from a computer if you're familiar with the RF-246 (and perhaps the difference between that and the C-Dory). EDIT-- hey...

This isn't a 22, but shows an exaggerated "triangle tube" effect on the transom that I'd prefer to avoid, but I don't think it's fully possible-- seems you'll always have a little bit of a "love handle" curve on the back even if you stay in front of the rear cleats. So, I'm trying to find the...

Hi. I’m in the process of adding one also. There is a true wealth of knowledge in the forum if you search for canvas, camperback, enclosure, bimini, etc.. it’s been covered a lot over 20+ years on here (treasure!). Different posts use different keywords, so you can capture more insight with...

Twins would likely tilt up into a smaller space within the splashwell, and even this has to curve back up after rounding the lazarettes. There’s also a rack/table inside which might be helping with the flat shape of the aft curtain.

Hello. I’ve been browsing the photo albums and searching for pictures of how the aft curtain(s) attach on a 22 cockpit enclosure / camper canvas / camperback which extends behind the lazarettes. The canvas maker I’ve chosen for my bimini says that he will only make one with the back all on the...

Fourth estimate, this one also about 40 min away and inland: $9k, can’t start until late June. I double-contacted (eg, voicemail and web form, usually) three others I know are still actively working and did not hear back. I heard from an additional one who then didn’t answer my reply to their...
