Wallas 1300 under galley, sorry bad picture

Wallas 1300, three inch warm air duct, stainless dual wall direct vent pipe inside fiberglass sheath.

This year I didn't fish nearly enough and when I did I never had more than six lines out. My best day I used only three lines. In Michigan you can troll with three lines per person for Salmonoids on the Great Lakes. I think Wisconsin went to three lines some years ago and then Michigan...

Now wait a minute Joe, are you implying that 16 is too many rod holders for a 22? Old photo (pre radar and some other stuff) but you get the idea. I occasionally troll with seven or eight lines. Rare because you need days with no fish and no waves. But even with four of five lines out it is...

I think your numbers are good. It is true the second main will not push the boat much faster than a kicker. However, it will push it some faster than a kicker, will push it at lower rpm, and will push it with better manuverability in wind and waves, and from the helm (altho some kickers are set...

Welcome aboard and you have a great playground. The new Lakeland Boating has a nice photo essay on the Thousand Islands. Regards, Mark

I followed Steve's lead when I installed the Wallas 1300. He does have a nice write up and some good pictures. I will try and get some pictures up of how it looks in my 22 soon. Here are a few note for Rob and Karen and others: The price went up. It cost about $250 more in spring of 07...

I love my alcohol stove. Foolproof, instant on, instant off, always works, very safe. I find it great for cooking. Have had alcohol stoves in past and liked em. But they are not for heat. For heat I used a couple of small butane or propane heaters but they do exhaust in the cabin and were not...

Welcome aboard. Nice boat, nice experience (no surprise), and nice name. If you get to the Great Lakes look me up. I'll buy at the Blue Heron restaurant in town. Regards, Mark

Bill and El, It is understandable, but nonetheless regrettable, YOU ARE PUTTING HALCYON TO BED TOO EARLY!. I personally always feel a little better just knowing you two are out on the water (or road) somewhere, righting wrongs, teaching the unlearned, and keeping the faith. Regards, Mark...

Dear Dawg, This may be so obvious that it goes unsaid? Radar arches have four bases (typically). One or two of those base are hollow so that cables can pass thru the roof directly into the radar arch pipe. If you knew just where your future arch would mount you could make a small hole and...

Oh boy, new boat, new stuff, new overnight destinations, cruisin' in the rain, lockin' the gear up in the cabin, doing some bigger water, - Congrats and have fun. Regards,

I agree that the newer boats still have a small gap between hull and locker and that a tube, epoxied in place, is a good idea. Also paint the locker with some epoxy paint is a good idea. The vent area is not balsa cored. Biggest water intrusion in boats a few years ago was through the stem...

Hi Roger, I have the low model arch. I installed the arch. One year later installed the radar. On the reinstall I removed the arch altogether to pull the bulky cables through and because it was leaking rain around one of the bases. I did push/pull the radar cable through the pipe with a nylon...

Smooth voyage Bob and Marie. Bob you have to watch those medicos. Some weird birds enter the medical profession. Good luck Doc. Mark

I have had good success by putting the lines in a nylon mesh sack. Then wash in the washing machine with detergent. I always add some liquid fabric softener to the washing machine and the lines come out nice. I have added powdered bleach but not chlorine bleach, but don't think there would be...

Bob, Glad you are going to Cleveland. Maybe the extended rehab can include a little Great Lakes cruising? Here's to ya young man. Mark

Da Byrdman may be a king, but sixteen kings of where? Wishing to be fishing Mark

This has been discussed quite a bit in the past. The experts are probably cruising at the moment. Check the discussion HERE and lots more HERE. Your tower may well have 3 to 5 degrees of dip built in, many do. Whether it does or doesn't, it will work fine. Regards, Mark

Hmm, well I guess Colorado might have some lakes, might be pretty good lakes, but they are not Great Lakes. :) (On the other hand we have something called Porcupine Mountains, they're not). Regards, Mark
