Hi Everyone, Thanks for all the comments regarding this (fun) project. I'm taking it all in. Something interesting: I've discovered that it's quite easy to turn a Honda 90 25 inch (extra-long) into a standard 20 inch by removing the spacer, then replacing the shift shaft, pick up tube and main...

Here is a link to pictures of the boat as it sits now before cleaning and overhaul. https://picasaweb.google.com/1044100023 ... directlink

Thanks guys. I'll try not to burn down my cabin this year so I can actually keep it!:) Those are good points about the weight being up higher on a jack plate. I found a couple of members here who have done it with E-TEC motors. I'm assuming lighter? The motors on it now are: 70HP 2-stroke and...

Hi Everyone, I'm the lucky Brat who scoped up the 1989 Cruiser recently (and yes, I feel VERY lucky and blessed) I've been doing some search engine research but still have some questions regarding upcoming projects. Jack Plate: There's a good chance I'll be repowering with a late 90's Honda...

Hi Fellow Brats, I have put a deposit on this boat today 11/14/11 and will be paying it off in full next week when I visit Sensei and family in Seattle. Very exited! Big plans! Thanks, M&M

I have a deal in the works. Thanks! :)

Matt, I am interested in more information on this cruiser. If it's just a matter of cleaning and re-power, that's a deal I'm looking for. Please PM me when you know more. Thanks, M&M

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68AOltMu768 Sorry for the music, comes with the ugly scene :)

I love buying low and selling high. I've done it countless times: buying a good rust free vehicle out west while visiting family and friends, drive it home to Mn (I got to get home anyway) clean it up and double my money. I just sold a minty Tercel 4wd wagon for exactly double what I paid for...

I saw this boat earlier today. It's in very good condition. The owner has had it for 15 years. He seems to love the thing...but it's not my kind of boat. I'm an outboard guy plain and simple. Good to be reminded. :)

2 stroke :( Tom, thanks a bunch for your input here. I'm looking at the islander tonight.

This Islander is less than 3 hrs from me. My brother has a 21 ft Fisher with the same motor and outdrive. Hasn't had any issues with it yet, but I/O's sort of scare me. Any thoughts on this boat? They sure are affordable. http://duluth.craigslist.org/boa/2594467632.html

That was one of the Q's I have for the sellers. So in order to have average standing room, the Arima 22 is where it starts? That would be a problem for me. Ok, back to the CD22 hunt. Thanks!

http://albany.craigslist.org/boa/2677774485.html This boat excites me. If anyone knows the MPG differences between the CD22 and this boat (important) or any other knowledge regarding this boat--much appreciated. PS: Please keep this one quiet (no linking to arima forums) if I ponce, no need...

Yes, sorry about that. Juggling lots of leads here. There's an angler in Florida but I'm not sure of the motor yet. Might be the same boat on boattrader. Thanks.

I look forward to hearing your opinion. If you don't make it public here, please include me on your PM list regarding the boat. Thanks

Hi, there is another 22 angler about ready to hit the market that I was alerted to. I did reply to your PM regarding which motor yours has. Thanks.

I refuse to be boatless this winter. Calculating plan B's C's etc. Does anyone know anything about Starcraft Islanders? From my research, they've been made for decades, are rivited aluminum (the hewescraft guys gawk at them) most came with I/O's (booo) but some with outboards. 18-24 ft. Some...

(If I may just reply to those that pointed out boats for sale) I guess I was extremely spoiled last year when I bought TWO CDorys in the span of 2 months: 1989 22-cruiser w/ Hondas 90/9.9 (both with cabin controls) for mid-teens 1991 16-angler w/ wonderful Suzuki 50hp EFI for 7.5K I should...
