Jerry The weight of the honda 135-150 hp is 485 lbs. The weight of a honda 200 hp is 600 lbs., and the weight of the yamaha is 583 lbs. We're talking about adding an extra 102-115 lbs here. On a boat the size of the 25', that is nothing. If I were really concerned about adding an extra...

Bill & Chris Obviously your wallas didn't ignite. Somethings wrong. Seeing as how your boat is so new, I'd take it back to the dealer and let him figure it out. It should only take a few minutes for it to get hot.

Welcom home, Terry & Ann Catman, that bus ride was one of a kind. A mandatory stop for boaters in the Gulf Islands. :thup

I'm guessing that mounting a 200 hp on a 25' would give you about the same horsepower to weight ratio as you would get if you put a 115 hp on a 22'. (ala Red Fox)

Jerry My understanding of a possible broach situation in a c-dory would be caused from to much weight forward, not to much weight on the stern. In following seas we want our weight to the rear.

Captains Choice No, it is vented to the outside. But like most people, I don't like the smell of raw gas anywhere in my boat and especially when I have an open flame bbq.

Jerry Seems to me that changing prop pitch is just like robbing Peter to pay Paul. I'd like to be able to cruise comfortably on smooth water at 25 mph (without screaming the motor above 5 grand) and have the extra torque for carrying extra passengers. After owning a 19' Alumaweld Stryker...

History: Some of the early 25's had undervented gas tanks that caused gas to burp out when filling. The factory replaced those with new 107 galon aluminum tanks that were vented on both sides. Problem: The problem is that you can get whiffs of raw gas in the cockpit area at times. This...

If I had it to do over again, I'd mount a 200 hp motor on my 25'. 1. With all the storage on the 25' it is easy to add more weight. Carrying a few large passengers can also 500 to 1000 lbs of people weight. The additional weight can really make the motor lug down and act sluggish. 2. I...

Dee Well shoot, if we'd known you were in the neighborhood we would have tracked ya down. Sorry we missed you's.

Vacation 2005 is over, we're home safe and sound. Thanks to all that made this such a fun gathering. Fishing with Robbi, following Fred around and listening to Byrdman was a hoot! After the Blakely gathering we spent the night at Prevost Harbor on Stuart Island with Rock C and Imacunada...

Thanks Fred. If everyone is staying at the state docks, we'll probably tie up there also. See ya there!

Question: Are we allowed to bottom fish in this area? I have some home made jigs I want to try out.

:sad :cry

Thanks for the tip, Rock-C. I think I'll try that route. I hate that section of I-5.

I have 20 ft of chain and 200 ft of rode.

Knot Yacht Dale called me today to tell me he won't be able to attend Blakely as planned. He is having computer problems and wanted me to let you know that his space (A7) is open for someone else.

It looks like the weather is going to clear just in time for this gig. http://www.weather.com/activities/other/other/weather/tenday.html?locid=USWA0322&from=36hr_topnav_undeclared

Fred No cruising for us on Thursday evening, we'll be lucky if we make it to Coronet Bay by nightfall. Thanks for the invite though. Sounds like we're going to have a mini gathering Thursday night. :thup That'l be cool.

See ya at the pass, Byrdman. :wink
