This for a handful of people I have spoken with at the Hontoon Island gathering. My boat the Ocklawaha Queen just passed it's three year anniversery for me April 1st as its owner. Last year I took the Queen up the ICW to Savannah Ga to see what I REALLY needed to do to the boat for me to...

For two years I've used a Super Cycle 800 which I paid $500 for . Its a little heavy 100lbs but it handels like the real thing, I rode real motor cycles all my life as well as raced bicycles so I speak with experience. The range, speed and supension make this scooter a real god send for me. I...

Have done the Savannah trip and 21mph will get you there and back. Darien Ga is your half way point, nice resturant and I think no fee on the dock. Beautiful country with out much traffic. Its very empty for aminities so dont expect anything but nature.

Congratulations on your 16 ! April 1st made my 3yr anniversary for mine the "Ocklawaha Queen". Try to learn soon how light your boat is, example, step from dock on to your boat, notice how the boat leans down pretty good when you step on to the edge. The first 16 I tested I was allowed to use...

Yes sir KINDLING small dry wood to start fire. Yes sir "Thank you " :rainbow

DR. Bob Im sorry I didnt look before I spoke, this sight has served me well, and with that I say farewell Brats. Ive been removed several times for not participating and I feel I dont have the social or academic skills to be here. Thanks again for the davit and other good ideas

Hi Ed, the issues that are being discussed about the 16 are my topic. I've had a 16 three years now. When you look at the boat it looks like everyone would fit in which they can. The issue I think you dont understand is weight. If you alone step on to a 16 cruiser from the dock you will feel the...

I'm a 16 that has figured it all out, my toilet "Reliance fold and go" Amazon of course, your waist goes into a zip lock bag that seals well. Back to the privacy issue, all you need to do is go thru the forwad hatch and wait out front while your guest takes care of business. Its even comfortable...

I learned about this shower on this sight, its the "Simple Shower" Amazon of course, its a one liter bottle arragement. The only issue I found was going to my grocery store and finding a bottle to match the threads for the simple shower head. At $19.95 and the amount of space it takes up, it's...

D & M I saw your consern over cell coverage. For over a year now I have relied on the "Wilson electronics 4G kit" $199 found it on Amazon like every thing else. I lost a weel bearing two weeks ago traveling from Mt Dora to Astor Fl only 40 or so miles apart but when you travel thru the Ocala...

Mark these are the first pics I've seen of your boat. I really like the detailed work you have done. You did a dam good job on that fuel tank, I wanted to do that when I started modifing my craft but I couldnt figure out what you did thats why I'm so impressed. I'm not strong on engineering but...

Here's another point with my 16 when the seas pick up on the beam meaning when I am sidways to the wind I would not want any more mass up top. I'm 5' 9" my boat was made for me, I'm sure of it. Good luck with finding a new owner for your boat, I always enjoy reading about the passion you have...

I'm disabled and I use a davit to get my scooter on and off my 16 cruiser, if money were no object this would be like James Bond siding my scooter on and off the boat.

Well might as well chime in, I'm on my second Honda outboard now. Its my obsveration that sun light is the culprit for spoiling the paint. On my second Honda I have kept the fabric engine cover on when not in use and my paint is holding up pretty good. I'm using compound and wax from time to...

I've just finished after 2 and a half years setting up the Queen, everyones C Dory knowledge combined with their lives around boats has made my project a real success. Fuel tank, and Davit were the two big items I know I only would have solved with the help of my friends here. Frequent reading...

I'm afraid its too small and to light. I'm 5' 9" & 140 and with my boat loaded and just me on board i can run 20mph all day with a 50 four stroke. The 16 cruiser with no engine is 975lbs or so check me on the factory spec sheet. I'm in center of the state and if you care to drive this far I'll...

Hey guys the truth of the matter on ethanol as boat fuel is a matter of how long you let it sit. Before my Sea Dory I owned a 13 ft center consol Boston Whaler with a 50 Honda, I only ran ethanol for two years with no problem. I never let a tank sit for more than two weeks. Each year I changed...

I got this from Ray Charles, there are only two kinds of music, "Good and Bad". Pandora is an excellent format if you will experiment with it. The Pandora pgm was written in this fashion, every song that is loaded into the system has a list of attributes, vocals, no vovals, strong gutiar, no...

Went over to Hoonton last month by myself. I've got a new boat toy,, I had a good metal shop build a tray for my foldable two weel elecrtic scooter. It runs along the top of the splash rail. Last year I traveled to Savannah Ga from the middle of the St Johns river at DeLand. I had the scooter...
