:disgust Your project just blows me away, I've had a 16 now for 2 and half years. I don't have your core issues but I have done plenty to suite my many needs. Your pictues have shown me all the stuff I,ve been courious about. Ideas I want to send your way are the fuel tank for one thing. When I...

My scooter is a Super Cycle 800 distributed by Super Cycles out of Myrtle Beach S.C. I've had it a year only $600. I had a rack fabricated by a local shop for the slot across the top of the splash well, makes it easy to get off and on the boat. I'm disabled a bit so I have to work around stuff...

When I'm having a choppy windy day I put up my side tent walls and it does fine keeping the water out of the back. I leave the back off, but if its bad you can leave back on as well and roll open the clear window portion. I travel with a foldable electric scooter which I store across the rear...

I've had my Whale tale for a year now, I already had trim tabs. The advantage for this device is choppy water, yes you lose 1 1/2 or so of speed how ever your boat no longer Bangs thru the chop, our C Dorys have a sharp bow and when you force it down it just cuts right thru. It's a night and day...

The problem with dry ice is that it does freeze everything, I have used it to prep the cooler the day before and it's pretty good for that if you don't mind the effort. I don't have problems with ice because I need fuel and 90% of the time there's ice too.

Don't know where I came up with this idea but for the money I'm pretty happy. I went to Ace in the stainless section and got a 6" carriage bolt two fender washers and a wing nut. You may have another spot in mind but I chose the V berth on the passenger side at their feet. I lifted the mattress...

God I love "White People"

You guys are so cool, you feel like older brothers, I'm not crazy just nervy, nothing new nothing to prove. :beer Lifes short then you die :cry

Hi everybody the Ocklawaha Q has a question ? Do you guys think my 16 cruiser weighing roughly 1300 lbs with fuel and motor has a big handeling difference compared to yall's 4000 lb 22 cruiser. I stepped on board a 22 from my boat last year and I could not belive the difference. My toy is just...

Two weeks ago I had simular situation in my Ocklawaha Queen, I spent a couple of days at Conch House marina in St Augustine Fl. I decedided to go out to the Atlantic and go north to at least Jacksonville and if things remained ok all the way to Fernandina. I left 3 hours before neutral tide and...

Hi take a look at my windows on the Ocklawaha Queen I live in central Fla and the open windows are not optional for me. I had a local guy cut my windows out and install the levers you'll see in the pictures. :smiled Once you go past 5 mph the cabin is very comfortable. I use two fans, one is...

Elsie the cow has a dry aresol at Ace, its for sliding windows. :thup

The longer you say on board the better your skills get, the boat stuff just gets more organised. Everything you've been planing and dreaming about comes to life and you just feel good :hot

Been doing this boat stuff for a while, I have some skill but I've learned to let someone do gelcoat that does it for a living, if your just doing screw holes fine but when you want a larger area and you want to bearly notice it let a pro handel gelcoat I learned the HARD way.

Amazon has a great buy on the #9 Delta, I only use 10ft of chain and this device DIGS in. The danforth is just old technology. Oh I'm a 16 so maybe consider more weight not sure you need the weight because this thing DIGS in when you set it properly.

I stayed everywhere Bill and Mary are staying, up to Savannah. I back packed travel my entire life and have rubbed every thing on my skin known to man. Most all of it works fine but I feel dirty not having a shower to get the stuff off. How ever I find the "Thermacell" to be one of the greatest...

Hey guys this has been a good one for me as well. My first 16 Cruiser experience was a one month trial with out tabs or fin, I agree with what someone said eairler, this boat should not leave the factory without both. The boat I found had trim tabs already installed and I was really impressed...

Hi Na Waga, I'm a local guy, central Fl, know all of your nice picture areas by heart not by name. I'm in a weel chair and Segway to get around so my mobility is limited. I'll try and explain how I manage my anchor from the back of the boat. I figured this out by looking at several video's on...

Oh I read your post the other day and forgot the woes I had with that crummy blue plastic base. I broke two on my B Whaler, so I took a new one to a frabration shop and had them make me one out of metal, well it never broke again. I run a 16 cruiser now and have for two years managed to not...

Chuck & Penny I sleep on a 16 in the peak of summer in Fl. I run a fan with the forward hatch open. I don't wear much while sleeping any heat of my body is removed by the good air flow. I run it off of one of my two batteries and runs all night with no problem. The fan is a 12 volt car truck...
