https://battlebornbatteries.com/product ... bermonday/ They are actually $10 cheaper at $689 now, but perhaps this is only for Monday. Anyone wanting one or more...this is the best deal I have seen

No, not "thousands", but yes, perhaps not too much of a savings over installing a 9.9 with tilt and electric start when added up. The versatility is the main advantage plus little weight on the transom. The main disadvantage is unless you have a generator and charger (I do), your range is...

I had a 9.9 with tilt/trim on my 22. I never used except to test it. It was a comfort, though, kind of like a first aid kit I never used. It is unlikely you can get 10 kts (11.5 mph) with a 9.9 motor. Hull speed for a 16 is 5.4 kts (6.2 mph), and once you start pushing it past that you will...

All of the above advice will help your Wallas perform as you want. In my experience, bad fuel is a serious problem. Good article on diesel...applies to gasoline as well, particularly ethanol gas. https://chembloggreen1.wordpress.com/20 ... esel-fuel/ I buy new diesel and keep a full...

I have four Wallas units...currently only one installed one in my CD22, one in my popup camper, one in a yurt, and one I don't use yet. Three were units people sold or given me as they didn't like the Wallas. The compromise of a heater/cooktop really is a compromise. I use the Wallas for cabin...

Bob; I hear you. For most people, a 1999 Honda 90 is really old. However, if it was well kept, run regularly, and well maintained, it might last another 22 years easily. It doesn't sound like that was the case. My comment was on it's added value in this sale. Maybe I am wrong, but I think most...

My Li battery BMSs will have low temperature charging PROTECTION, as in they won't charge below 32F (battery temperature). Don't you mean these don't have a heating circuit that will heat the battery internally when temps drop low enough that the BMS stops the battery charging? Interesting, the...

$20K would probably be a quick sell, at least on the west coast. If your goal is $25K, you might get close for just a good condition hull with trailer also in good condition. C-Dories aren't boats that shiny boat people are impressed by. If the tires are old (manufacture date is after the DOT...

C-Dory purchasers in general are going to do their research. Few will purchase a hull because it shines. Many would like to buy a bare hull and put the motor(s) of their choice on it. That is kind of what I intended, but wound up keeping the 2003 carburated Honda 90 for 6 years, and only...

...in regard to traction on slimy ramps or no ramps at all...depending on the center of gravity of the camper relative to the bed of the truck (and the steepness of the ramp), removing the camper should help shift traction to the front wheels which are more likely to be on drier, cleaner...

Wenonah "Wee Lassie" 12 ft (24 lb, only in ultralight Kevlar) is what I'm moving to from a Wenonah Minnesota II (42 lb) in Kevlar. I've found that if you put a couple of 5 gallon water containers (I use Scepter 05935), it is much more stable to get into.

Boats like what you describe are made, and here in the PNW USA. We've had these types of boats around for quite some time, including by the company Aluminum Chambered Boats. Check out the current Passagemaker, which describes the Life Proof 35 Full Cabin...

I rode a 24 ft Aluminum Chambered Boat (company now banckrupt) from Bellingham to Eliza Island and back during some interesting weather on the return trip, which, of course Bellingham Bay is famous for. Stabicraft are similar but perhaps more refined. Eliza doesn't have a ferry, so you need to...

I know many love to hate Amazon, even my son that has worked on their robots in the Kent, WA center for several years. However, they have always done well for me. If something doesn't meet your expectations, they take it back, no questions asked, and its easy to send back. Sometimes their prices...

Drugs aside, participating in a water rescue, particularly dealing with kids in the water kicking and screaming, is likely to be very different than just swimming. I can imagine how excited everyone was, and the drowning victim likely had some health issues. A "throwable" tossed into the water...

You have to be careful about older diesels. I believe the 1995 7.3 liter turbodiesel (when new) produced a little over 200 hp and 400 ftlb torque. It likely doesn't do that any more after a few hundred thousand miles. These engines are legendary in their longevity, but a lot of that had to do...

Yes, I originally brought my father's Whaler-like center-helm crabbing boat from the Chesapeake here. Great boat for the Chesapeake's warm, shallow water, fishing, and particularly for running a crab line. We use pots here, but more deck space for stacking them was still a plus. The most telling...

It might be easier to step into than a regular RIB. Maybe? However, I'm not sure how an open bow is an advantage in most cases. It looks like it would be really "wet" in any chop, and I'd worry about every little thing falling off since there is no "inside" to it. I would be interested in...

Interestingly, we have no current major wildfires in Washington State according to our own fire agencies. https://gacc.nifc.gov/nwcc/information/firemap.aspx That is likely to change. I've been out and things are getting tinder-dry. Current air quality doesn't indicate wildfire smoke of...
