They were smart to get their sails down relatively early, apparently. I think the fact that the helmsman didn't have on a preserver was pretty bad, although it looked like someone tried to get one on her, but they gave up. Scary looking sky, but the big boat they were on seemed to take it all...

The great thing about the dam is that now, at age 71, I can also explore and do all of the things the rough old lady in the film did when she was young. However, I can't go around naked because I burn badly, but that doesn't stop a lot of people. I love the last scene. Someone enjoying the...

My boat, Still C-razy has been sold to a nice young feller up in Washington State. I don't know how to remove my ad, so I'd appreciated it if someone would tell me how or do it. I'm sure the Navy lad who bought it will be checking in soon and often.

USAA and others can be convinced. If you show them the price of a new version of a 22 cruiser c-dory for example, the 2015 equipped that same as a 2006 it comes out to be around 75 grand with twins and premium trailer and good electronics. A C-dory hull isn't wearing out over 20 or more years...

The boat is out of storage and all systems have been gone through. The kiss stove is on its way for overhaul and upgrade to Kenyon. It's clear that I'm not going to get top dollar for this boat--something that all boat sellers strive for and seldom achieve. Most potential buyers are hoping to...

And I'll bet it was very affordable too:)

Unidentified something in a bottle of fuel stabilizer? Could be anything. I'll bet you will have to go for an end to end fuel system tank clean, hose clean, and carb tear down. I dump everything into old jugs from kerosene to oil to paint thinner to dirty paint brush cleaner and whatever else...

6 hp won't get you a lot of headway with a combo of wind, current and accompanying waves. But at least you will have options of going down current and down wind or holding the nose into the waves. No power at all is not an option.

I didn't read the other posts real close, but you do have a good kicker motor, right? I can't imagine heading to where you are without one.

No refrigerator, but then I'm one of those that believes in the fewer systems, the less battery discharge and management issues and the less overall to go wrong. porta potties are the best low tech invention ever. I know because I've had holding tank boats before. High quality ice coolers do...

Terrific!

Key shuts down my Suzuki with no problem. Aldo, the lanyard switch. Something fishy about how that boat was running wide open like that. Two people, so there was no health issue. Even two drunks might be able to see the land approaching. Turn off key, take out of gear, lanyard, steer...

JUMP!

When I installed my fresh water pump, It kept blowing spade fuses. I put an in-line fuse in that accepts a slo-blow fuse. That took care of the problem. The start-current on the fresh water pumps is much higher than the run current. The spade fuses, if you are using them pop immediately if...

I don't have specific prop numbers for you, but but if you are 5200 at wot, you definitely need to go down. Re-pitching works if the outfit doing it is any good. So for 65 bucks each, you need to drop at least 1. Personally I'd rather be some under pitched than over. Lugging these engines...

Johnson E-Techs. You won't go wrong wrong from fuel economy to reliability to torque and to weight. Also, I do like the Tohatsu. 20 million Asian professional fisherman can't be wrong. I've had several Tohatsu engines and all have performed extremely well. But re-powering a 22, i'd go with...

I've followed NADA guides. 2wd equals faster rate of depreciation. 4wd equals slower depreciation in resale. Diesel 4wd makes even bigger difference, many thousands. Does it make up for initial purchase or costs of operation? I don't know, haven't run the numbers, but with diesels running...

The modern, cab controlled 4wd lock or free wheel system does the same thing as the old warn hubs. Or so I'm told. I'm pretty sure that if there was any mileage improvement, I'd have a hard time telling whether and extra bit was due to a hub change or just the better diesel last stop and so on...

Salt water time versus fresh water time is something to consider in the survey or not question. Also, stored on land or on the water, and if on land, in hard covered storage or open to the weather. Used in dry parts of the U.S. or rainy and wet. If a boat is low hours and stored out of the...

Bumping up Still C-razy now that boat buying season has started. Best offer and trades considered.
