I had the exact same experience as Casey except with twin 40Hp Hondas. I definitely want both. If starting with one, go with permatrim first. I started with trim tabs, enlarged them, and them made my own permatrim since the ready made ones would have interfered with my trim tab extensions. Your...

I have a CD22 with twin Honda 40's. Came with 10"D(?)x13"Px3Blades(Honda brand made by Solas) worked good; replaced it with 10+"x12"x4 (Solas brand) and got great gas milage (4.5mpg) but too low rpm at WOT when heavily loaded (frequently); replaced it with 11"x11"x4 (Solas brand) and it gets me...

I just took the wires over the stern and through the boot into the starboard lazarette. Used wire guides to keep wiring in place and looking neat. Jay

Welcome back to Michigan. I'm still on Lake Superior and at Isle Royale in the summer with an open invite to all C-Brats. We are as far a you can get away from Lake St Clair and still be in Michigan; just a 12 hour tow and a 5 hour run, but worth it! Jay

Vashon-trawler, Beautiful boat. There is one at Copper Harbor, Michigan (northern most point in MI) on Lake Superior. It is owned by a retired DNR commercial fishing inspector who I believe is a decendent of a commercial lake trout fishing family; it's not quite as pretty as yours but still...

Fuel in Canada: also fuel at Nipagon and maybe Silver Islet. No need for extra fuel until you go from Rossport to Wawa and I don't think you have the time for that. I think the fuel drought in 2012 was due to Environment Canada making all shore fuel pumps upgrade equipment - most pumps weren't...

Bonnie's book is the bible for Lake Superior cruising; its only fault is that she dwells on water depth because she has a 6' deep draft sailboat. The Apostles are easily good for a week of boating possibly 2 weeks. Nearby is Cornucopia, worth a visit and not far beyond the sea caves which are a...

I have twins and love and use my overpriced Edson knob a lot.

Jerry said "installed the wedge" - please elaborate. Jay

I've logged over 8000 miles on Lake Superior over the last 11 years and my 22 cruiser serves me very well; just expect to slow down in 3 foot and greater chop to 9 mph or less. I'm pretty sure the 19 is a 22 cruiser with the rear 3 feet of the cabin and associated hull removed including the...

I don't have this problem and the only thing I can think of is trailer flex may be part of the problem. Your trailer age/conditon? Also have you tried different tie down ratchets/straps? Jay

1/ C-Green

It floats, motors and is affordable on calm days. C-b Jay

We're getting there or are we there? I like it. C-b Jay

Da Nag's double C-b doesn't seem quite right. I would suggest it be changed to just one C-b which is easy for the mind to "see" correctly when seen on the reverse side. Jay

Count me in on whatever design is done; mounted on an 18 inch tall pipe (mounted on a antenna mount on the cabin roof handhold) that mounts my radar reflector. My preference is the tri-color design by James TDX that simply has "C - Brats" (I would like to see the "rats" in lower case as opposed...

On a 40 HP Honda the second tube is the gas drain line for the carb bowels. Jay

We have a telescoping 4 step gunnel ladder which gets the bottom step deep in the water for easy exit of the water. Have 40 twins with 11" pitch 4 blade props which have plenty of pull. Just added two towing points, one to each outside upper engine mount bolt; added large washers to inboard side...

I thought Old Growth had the only 18 ft angler? Jay

Small open 14 ft fishing skiff - all the time; CD-22 only once so far in 11 years. Of course that year was the year the bilge pump crapped out; a quick insert of the plug and later pulling the plug when on plane solved that problem. Jay
