http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com ... cts_id=481 This link shows the yamaha 1000 can surge to 2700 watts for 3 seconds. That would kickstart a microwave and motors and loads that the Honda might not. The Honda won't surge as far as I know. Yamaha comes with the 12 volt cables, a smidge...

The RedFox is a 22 ft angler with the same problem. You can see how he rewired his switch at the link below. http://groups.msn.com/C-DoryRedFox/_wha ... rket=en-us

Probably haven't figured out how to overcome the lower gear ratio, big prop setup on the Suzuki. Sounds like you have all the bases covered on the engine choices. Maybe the E-TEC should be marketed to the water-ski/wake-board crowd. Think of all the skiers you could pull with that power...

Not that I care. I don't get paid to use any of them, but. What a poor demonstration of power. Magicians trick, really. The power difference between the two engines should not be that dramatic. I think either one can win. Just get the prop to slip on the other boat first and then yank like...

Swee Pea: I would recommend a twin cylinder for smooth quiet operation and torque. Performance would be better for both the CD and the dink. I enjoy running the boat from the cockpit in hot weather. I don't know how most people move the motor to the dink. I would think one would pull close...

The yamaha 1000 can surge up to 2700 watts for 3 seconds to start heavy loads. Here is a link to the stats. http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com ... a2bedd3d65 I could not find any info that shows the honda 1000 surging past max output of 1000 watts.

CatyMae n Steve: I have been trying to decide on the inverter vs. generater. I just want to micro some leftovers. I have a spare 700 watt microwave oven that I used at my last job. That would be my luck that a 1000 geny wouldn't get it going. I am not interested in adding the weight, space...

John: I have the same transmitter with a larger receiver that I have had since 2000. The transmitter is fairly water resistant. Mine is mounted on a pole off the back porch. It gets rained on and blasted by the late afternoon sun as it sets below the roof line resulting in a temporary spike...

I am interested in powering a small microwave. Is anyone using the 1000 watt generators for this? If so, does it work on full power or do you use reduced power setting? I like the compact size and weight of the 1000 and could find room for one aboard if it would run the oven. Or would I be...

I agree with others who say don't be afraid to RAISE the ROOF! This will give more room overall, unobstructed visibility all around and much better ventilation if the hot climates. The photo in the link below is an "ALBIN" cruiser. The photo is not great but it will convey the idea to search...

Edwardf: Yes, controls for the helm are extra and separate from your main. There are some remote control units available to allow you to control the kicker (steering/speed, trolling patterns) from anywhere about the boat. You can do a search for these. I think TR-1 gold is one name brand...

What timing. I'm in the middle of reading "In Harm's Way". Another account of all the events that lead to the sinking. Let him know Most are grateful that they completed their mission of transporting the bomb and thanks for his service.

My 80 H.P. has always started and run rouff when it is cold. I assumed this was because only two of the four carbs has the cold start enrichment valve installed. Thus running better on the two cylinders with the enrichment valves than the two without until it warms up. I am sure only using...

The engine is not a problem at all. It is the same engine used as an 80 H.P. which is de-tuned. I have the 80 and they both weigh the same. Be Happy, You got the better deal. More power for the same weight. I will gladly trade engines if you like. :mrgreen: The extra power will be useful when...

Yukonchris: You didn't want to spend over $30,000 for a boat. What was the out the door price on the CC? Did you get the E-TEC jet drive?

Mine is mounted forward on the electronics shelf. The shelf is enclosed with stereo/vhf and starboard. The reception is fine.

If you look close, you can see the fishing line. He's actually trollin for something bigger....

Bill and Brenda: Glad you and Falcon made it home safely. Great to meet you both. If Kay and I had the vacation saved we would meet you in Key West. It is at the top of our list of places to putter around. Be sure to click a few photos and get the photo album going. Keep us posted of your...

AstoriaDave: I just checked out the Bartender and must say that is one cool boat. A real advantage in the surf. The video clips are great. The clip of the Coast Guard boat makes me want to sign up. Just one question. Are fumes in the cockpit a problem with the outboard setup? Good luck with...

Others will disagree but here is my situation/experience. Go for the 115. You will have the speed if and when you need it. If you don't need it don't push the throttle so far down. You can load the boat down with gear and still have good economy/performance. Your engine won't work hard as you...
