    Because I don’t know.

    I suspect you would be looking for trouble- when a little wind gets under your cover you likely will dramatically shorten the life of your canvas.

    Seattle Boat Show

    Yeah, don't you just hate it when your balls bump against the boat!! :star :star But thanks, normally I do leave the ball in the water, but this time somehow the fishing line became wrapped in the little red stopper beads threaded my fishing line and and took both rigger line and fish line...

    Seattle Boat Show

    Holy Cow!!! Went fishing out at Jeff Head last Wed. Wind blew the boat around so badly that I couldn't tell which direction I was heading . This post is twisting and turning so much I;m getting dizzy. Much like my boat ride. This is a fun read. :xnaughty :xlol :xseek :evil: Oh...

    single v.twin engines - unnecsssary anxiety, perhaps

    I have a main Honda engine (a big one 225 hp) and a Honda kicker( a small one 15 hp.) Both are extremely reliable, BUT, I figure that probably 80% of motor trouble is due to some form of gas trouble, usually water in the gas. So... my solution is to carry a 3 gallon tank of fresh gas...

    Arima 19' pilothouse?

    Hmmmm, Seems like there are mostly advantages to being the tall guy, but this isn't one. I have a Webasto heater in my aluminum boat and it is wonderful. Takes about 10- 15 minutes to bring temp up to 70-75 and hold it there. Pricey, but well worth it. I also have the premium spring seats on...

    Arima 19' pilothouse?

    I dunnot know. Seems that any boat with inadaquate headroom for your 6'6" frame is obsolete for you before you lay your money down. It will never get any better for you, and for your back it can only get worse. You can do better, For me, I love my Hewescraft 2 cents worth

    kicker port or starboard?

    Here's a thought. Since you are repowering your kicker why not buy an electric start, with power controls from the helm( of course it is more expensive) and install conecting rod to main motor from kicker (about $65 ) so you can steer from helm. If you do not have hydraulic steering on...

    Questions on re-building tandem trailer for 22 Cruiser

    Wow!!! What a lot of effort you are putting in. If I was voting -I'd go for a new trailer knowing it was safe and strong and get rid of the old one. Doesn't sound like that appeals to you ,but that's my 2 cents worth. Gary

    Water problem

    Hmmm... Bow down. Is it possible that you have leaking into the flotation between the hull and the floor up front from outside? Possibly leaking thru the gelcoat? Not a pleasant thought. Pretty unusual for C-Dorys to be bow heavy.

    Factory status update

    Yes, factory orders are good news. In my industry, rental real estate we have been seeing a pickup in demand beginning about 17 months ago. Each month the demand gets stronger and there is a visible improvment in the attitudes of our prospects. So, on a personal level I feel good and feel that...

    Gas Prices

    Not buying gas on a particular day does nothing. The only way to make any effect is to not drive and therefore not consume any gas. And you can't just push your mileage off to another day, you must consume less over a period of time. So, if everyone each month consumes less, say 1/2 tank...

    Is my boat price to high?

    When its all said and done, it's price that counts. Incicentally, in the grocery stores you will never find any prices at an even number. Always, $.59 cents or some other combo ending in .95 or .99. It is a marketing thing that relailers strongly believe in. How about $17,995 or $17.950...

    Is my boat price to high?

    I sold real estate for years, sucessfully, and know from experience that the factors are -price,condition,location, financing, and exposure. To make the sale you need to adjust those factors until all conditions line up with a buyer. Location is pretty fixed unless you deliver, so see what you...

    Tow SUV which can be towed 4 down

    Hmmm,.... Towing-such a subject. Just bougt a 2012 Toyota Tundra 5.7 and it does tow great. Comes with tow mirrors . Also comes with poor gas mileage about 11-13 mpg. Oh, ouch!!! So I seem to be using my daily driver a bit more- It is a 1947 Buick special- about 15 miles to the gallon. Guess...

    C22 Towing: Tundra or Tacoma or Pathfinder?

    I have a 2003 Tacoma with factory tow package and capacity rated at 6500 pounds and had a 22 ft C-Dory. (now sold) Great truck , does the job of pulling OK but is underpowered for the job. So far has stopped OK , no accidents, but is nerve racking as feels like I could easily be pushed...
