Sorry- by "rainfall" I mean annual precipitation, which includes the snow. Thataway - the answers are within the sources I posted. The damn building frenzy is mentioned in the books. I recall hearing that a very large proportion of all US dams were built within few decades. Because I don't...

Hi Thataway, I highly recommend checking out "Cadillac Desert", either in book form or the video documentary. Fascinating stuff that's right under our noses that most people don't know about. It's a four hour documentary, I watched it in three sittings... they talk about the era of dam building...

In this case I think there is a lesson. The mentality at the time of the dam building craze was.. well.. a "craze". I think greed and gang mentality were at play. There were two major mistakes: (a) They overlooked the need for good data and analysis - they only used rainfall data going back a...

Does anyone the details around what a hydraulic tilt motor will do if it hits something large? Is thee some kind of pressure relief valve that allows it to tilt out of the way and not rip your transom off?

Interesting. I would have been surprised if the idea hadn't already been out there...

Gotcha! So you don't have the 22 Angler anymore? So by "no backrests" I assume you mean the v-berth bulkhead and the rear cabin bulkhead were the seat backs? But no cushion?

I'm curious, in the photos your boat looks like a 22 Cruiser to me?

It would be totally voluntary. No liability. I wonder if the logging industry takes any responsibility?? There are so many other examples of people/corporations held responsible for just one mistake that causes injury/death/property damage!!

I have a question about 22' Anglers. The current C-Dory website "floorplan" shows 1 seat on the passenger (port) side, facing forward. However, I have seen some (Mid-1980's models) that have 2 seats on the port side facing each other with a little table between them. Was this a factory option...

Spotted a deadhead off Ediz Hook (Port Angeles) this weekend. At first it looked like some kind of Bouy. It was bobbing slowly in the waves/swell, and would sometimes disappear underwater momentarily. I'm curious: (1) Does anyone know where they come from and how they end up suspended...

The predictions I have read say Powell is a goner. The dam was built by during an era of dam-building frenzy, based on a very short window of rainfall data, and even that was a questionable analysis.

Thanks for the advice!

I'm installing a new VHF into a 16' Cruiser. An obvious place to put it would be on top of the horizontal flat surface forward of the steering wheel. BUT, I find that to be a very useful place to put other stuff, and the VHF rarely gets used. Could in go vertically mounted on the vertical...

Why elec motors are superior (1) Elec motors have peak torque at 0 rpm (when it is most useful/needed). (2) 1/3 as many moving parts.

Very cool! I used to see a boat a few years back that looked like this one, fishing the Strait, east of Port Angeles a ways...

Oops, I may be mistaken about the top of the companionway being "open".. I think they were on some older models? [img]https://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/threads/22-c-dory-angler-for-sale.560683/img]

The V-birth on the Angler is the same as the 22, access via the companionway, unless it has been modified. I don't think it would work like the 16, except there is no sitting with comfortable headheight. Thanks Hardee! So then, the 19A and 22A will both have the same companionway? If so...

BTW, Those who have experience with a 22Angler, is the berth open to the cabin? If so, does it work as a seating option like in the 16 cruiser?

Hi, I have experience with both the 16 Cruiser and Angler. The Angler is 2 people max unless you add seats. But what I like about the Cruiser is that the berth is open to the cabin, and a 3rd person can sit on the edge of the sleeping platform facing aft. By comparison, a 19' does not offer...
