    Speaking of hatches

    The hatches on the overhead, above the helm or any of the five hatches can be rotated to scoop air from any direction. On the Mis Dee I changed the openings to the bow which allows for a lot more air movement when underway. I left the port and starboard hatches to scoop air from the sides. All...

    :beer :beer :beer :beer The Lucky Fin now has a hull #, US-FMLT25281809 To be started in a week or so and to be completed October 20th. The 150 Cumins is the biggest reason to sell the Mis Dee and order a new one. Although the Yanmar was zero problems, it was a little slow for my taste...

    R-25 El Cheapo Water Tank Gauge

    Now that these picture are handy........Have any of you had bilge water come into the V-berth from under the step? When on the trailer and moving the boat, hitting the brakes would cause as much as three inches of water to rush forward and come in from under the step. Always had to dip it out...

    R-25 low rpm

    Ps, Yanmar (in Cocoa) also told me not to use any fuel additives. Also said it didn't hurt it a bit to run it wide open. Probably would have added, to use common sense, and vary the speed. I would be interested in other opinions. I have had three 8V71 n's Detroits, I know they like to run wide...

    Removing three-year old blue painters tape from the topside

    Using a plastic scrubby brings to mind; Once upon a time I had a brand new (1979) 4x4 Love pickup, fire engine red. Went through some fresh tar and got little flecks over the whole pickup. I expressed my anger with a few unmentionable expletives, so my better half says " don't worry honey, I...

    St Johns River info?

    Another big plus for Astor, Astor Marine will store your tow rig and trailer for $1.00 per foot per month. Leaving the 25 ft Ranger in storage cost me $25 per month. ( they don't count the hitch) When on the river I left the pickup with camper for $20 per month. It is only a couple of blocks to...

    Quick poll for R25 owners

    Bottom paint if left in the water. salt or fresh. Mine will always be on the trailer except when cruising. Which can be months at a time. Zinks for sure if left in a marina. Than a big one over the side won't hurt. Good insurance. You will see a lot of boats with their power cable hanging in the...
