    16 foot Jon Boat attempts the Great loop speed record.

    Some notes from his FB posts to date-- check out his range (!!) * My fuel capacity allows me 680 miles range at wide open throttle and 924 miles at an optimal cruising speed of 24 mph. * On my America's Great Loop I intend to do it as quickly as I possibly can. I'm hoping to complete AGL in...

    "Our C-Dorys" Limited to 19 Results Pages (?)

    The "Our C-Dorys" page seems to have a limit of 19 pages (3600-3800 boats), which is not all of the boats. If you sort by State, descending (ie, Z to A), the list starts at "Y" and ends [partially?] through "NY". When sorted ascending (ie, A to Z), it starts at AB and ends at ID-- skipping...

    16 foot Jon Boat attempts the Great loop speed record.

    He put up a whole spreadsheet on it. I only use Facebook for groups and marketplace, but it's on there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1021197 ... 563937428/ Excerpt (and after that is a lock-by-lock with his estimate of speed etc-- I think he thinks he can go faster than the bigger boats...

    GottaGo toilet

    Hi, Donald. Where do you store it underway? Does it fit under the filler cushion, also? Thank you.

    GottaGo toilet

    The URL tag is messing it up. Removed and re-pasting: True. What I'm trying to find out is something like an AirHead which has agitation, ventilation for aerobic activity, and uses coir or similar-- not just "separate the pee from the poo into a bucket and a jug". For the hassle, a Cleanwaste...

    GottaGo toilet

    Well that worked. Pasting in the earlier missing message: True. What I'm trying to find out is something like an AirHead which has agitation, ventilation for aerobic activity, and uses coir or similar-- not just "separate the pee from the poo into a bucket and a jug". For the hassle, a...

    Test. I’ve made three posts on two devices and none show up. Last try for now.

    True. What I'm trying to find out is something like an AirHead which has agitation, ventilation for aerobic activity, and uses coir or similar-- not just "separate the pee from the poo into a bucket and a jug". For the hassle, a Cleanwaste toilet would be far easier than that or a porta-potti...

    GottaGo toilet

    Does anyone have pictures of a true composting head on a 22? I've searched and read what I could find on the forum, but haven't seen anyone successfully do it. I know they're quite tall, and wouldn't fit under the v-berth. I also saw a 22 last year on here sell with a full head inside the cabin...

    Craigslist, Boat Trader, Offer Up, Etc - For Sale Page

    I, too, would be interested in this and came here to suggest it. The Downeast Boat Forum has two for sale sections: Classifieds Boats For Sale (ie, listings managed by the poster: seller, friend, family, broker, etc) and also Found Boats For Sale (ie, members who come across listings that aren’t...

    Twin Motors vs One Main and an aux

    One other consideration is the weight of the kicker-- not for the boat's transom, but for your own! I just sold a daysailer with a 2016 5hp Honda carbed 4-stroke kicker (is it still a kicker on a sailboat?) and while it was only 60 pounds, it was a lopsided 60 pounds that made it a pain in the...

    Twin Motors vs One Main and an aux

    I read on some forum (perhaps here) that someone had towed/rescued boats with singles, boats with twins, but never a single with a kicker (with the implication that it's up out of the water and often on its own fuel supply). So, you'll have to balance twin maneuverability with true redundancy...

    TomCat deck drainage issue FINALLY SOLVED

    Hi, Donald. I used to have a Com-Pac brand Sun Cat sailboat and when it came time to replace my scuppers, I sought advice from the Com-Pac owners group (CBrats for Com-Pacs). The consensus was that ping pong ones worked great-- the water coming up from the back pushed them closed and kept them...

    TomCat deck drainage issue FINALLY SOLVED

    I used something similar on a small trailer sailer, sold by T-H Marine who also sells the ping pong style and duck bill sock style. There are other hinged ones for purchase in stainless steel by other companies. I didn’t find the operation of the hinged version any better than the rubber...

    Inflatable Preservers

    Pros/cons to each style, whether inflatable or foam. My father prefers the Fanny pack style, which has a manual ripcord and an auto inflate feature that uses a paper wick, so after a minute or something like that it soaks through and blows itself up. Either way you now have an inflatable...

    RI Family of 4 (kids ages 4 & 2) WTB 22 or 25 Cruiser

    Welp, the car got a terminal diagnosis on Friday: needs total exhaust engine-back, has broken front axles and associated parts, and rear brakes: $3400 total estimate on a KBB value of $4000. Time to buy the truck and see where the boat falls into plans. Going to wait until next season for the...
