The Trelino toilet is not a composting toilet. It's basically p**ping in a bag. You have to figure out how to store the used bags. I have seen postings where the biodegradable bags sold by Trelino can start to break down if you store the used bags for too long. Kitchen waste bags hold up better...

I know it's Harbor Freight, but they've stepped up their game a lot recently. On sale for $379, it might be worth a shot if someone is looking for an inverter generator. https://www.harborfreight.com/10-days-of-deals?mi_u=140543790385&mi_cmp=70bd560f63f260fd~12818327~~~~~&mi_sc=t...

Is some cases it is safer to be at sea than in a harbor.

My bimini is on a 3 arch frame. There is one hard pivot point on gunwale and adjustable straps at the front and back. The single pivot allows the angle of the bimini to be adjusted and also allows the bimini to fold up against the cabin roof (just above the door) for storage, trailering, and...

To charge the batteries, you need to have a charger installed in the boat. Simply plugging into shore power will not charge the batteries. The charger may need to be switched on. There should be indications on the charger when charging is complete and it has entered float mode. Some chargers...

Sailrite has videos on how to make a bimini. It is more complicated than you might think, but certainly can be done.

If you apply the stern saver according to the instructions, it'll only come off if the gelcoat separates.

As for docking, you don't always get to decide. You can have a preference, but wind and current conditions, dock layout, available crew and dock hands, and approach avenues will determine the side you dock on every time you dock. Personally I prefer to dock on the starboard side because it is...

Might want to look into a Stern Saver. https://sternsaver.com/

My boat has the factory flat floor, but years ago I did make a piece that goes between the fuel tanks and is level with the factory part. It is made of composite decking. I left slight gaps between the deck slats to allow for free flow of water. Allows be to put stuff between the tanks without...

Nice work. However, IME with composite decking, assemblies can be quite heavy compared to the equivalent sized wood lumber. Do you know how much your composite floorboards weigh? Also, IME composite decking can get quite hot when exposed to sunlight for long periods. If you're in the PNW, this...

I have a large (14") android tablet for entertainment. Things can be loaded in advance or downloaded along the way if there is a suitable connection. This tablet also has a detachable keyboard and you can use a USB mouse or the touchscreen making it suitable for online emails, shopping, general...

$13500 for a 22 on a trailer is not a bad deal even if you have to replace the engines, electronics, and refurb the trailer. As long as the hull is good. Looks ok in the pictures.

Be careful with the run, some of those diesel heaters do not tolerate a long exhaust pipe very well.

When I go to that site, all the image links are broken.

Rosboroughs have a semi-displacement hull which is deeper than a C-Dory hull. This probably helps with stability.

I have never noticed an excessive amount of ads on Hull Truth. But I do use Ad-Block on some sites. Rosboroughs are a nice boat. A bit bigger on a trailer than a CD-25. But you can stand up in the berth area.

In my case, the anchor has to tilt forward and down for the anchor to drop. If you prevent it from tilting, the anchor can't deploy. The strap around the mount and shank prevents tilting. The anchor normally sits fine in the mount without a load. The strap just protects against the anchor from...

I use a velcro strap around the anchor shaft and the anchor rest on the bow. If the anchor can't tilt out of the rest, it won't go anywhere.
