Stephen, Thanks for the heads up. I am planning to get the boat in June or July and will likely ferry from Skagway. I’ll make sure to check into that soon.

Planning to take a couple weeks and drive up in June or July.

Thanks, Pat! The TomCat still would’ve been our preferred boat, but I think the Merlin is going to do nicely. I know I’m going to have a lot of work to do on this boat, but I could not pass up the price. I just wish I didn’t have to wait until summertime to bring it home from Juneau.

I will soon be the proud new owner of Merlin, a 26' deep vee C-dory. I'm curious how many of these early 26 footers there were? I think this is hull #1. HIN: DOR26001J586

Yes, separate insurance is needed. I’ve been researching this lately for my trip to Baja in march. I am probably going to use BajaBound for the insurance. I haven’t been to Mexico before.

One question I’ve always had about AP was how does it react when you grab the wheel? Can you steer around an object and then let go of the wheel and allow it to get back to its path or do you need to reset it?

Anybody have a guess for towing weight on the 27s, or the 26 offshore?

We are planning a short trip to Baja in the spring. I plan to trailer the boat down to the Bay of LA and stay for 2 weeks. Anybody have any recommendations on parking? Any advice about the trip is greatly appreciated. This is our first time. Thanks!

Gutter around box leads to scupper

Deck 2? higher

I might buy it if it were a long cabin version. Seems like a good deal.

I’m a little curious how many different configurations there are. StarCrafttom said it is flatbottomed but there is one for sale on Craigslist right now and it doesn’t look like a deep V but it isn’t flat. https://juneau.craigslist.org/bod/d/auk ... 14337.html

I believe that increasing the height of the tunnel would be preferred to simply raising the floor height as an increase in tunnel height would fix both problems. Scuppers flooding and bridge deck slamming. But that would involve a serious modification to the mold, I believe. Adding 2” between...

Gary, just to be clear the tunnel height is not increasing, only the floor is getting additional height above the tunnel. Did you buy direct from NMI or through a dealer?

I also have spoken with Greg and I am going up to look at a couple of tomcats under construction in a couple weeks. He said they have added 2” at the hull to deck joint so the entire floor is 2” higher now. I believe he said that the last 3 boats have been built this way.

Yes, and the depth please. Thanks!
