I gave up on velcro. I removed the screws around the windows, one in each corner, and replaced each with snap screws. Some windows require six snaps. I put correspondent snaps in the reinforced border of the netting. Then I sewed 1/4" widths of felt between snaps, to seal out crawling...

FYIO: A group 29 house battery will fit crossways inside the front of the transom stb locker, allowing a smaller, starter battery to the rear. I use the space between the gas tanks to fit an auxillary 12 gallon tank on long trips. Anyone have a different setup in this locker?

I pulled up the SAMS site to checkout their AGMs. The reviews were awful. Think I'll stick with my Interstates.

When we lived aboard our sailboat in the Caribbean, we met several cat liveaboards, one had a cat they took on in Egypt. They all had the run of their boats. They were at home in the dinghys and when visiting our boat, made themselves at home. I can't imagine a cat jumping overboard, but who...

Be careful. I ordered a replacement for my anchor/running light mast. When I plugged it into the old fitting, the fuse holder simi -melted and melted wires all the way to the light. (No, it was not overfused. Can't explain why this happened unless the holder was faulty.) The reason the...

I am from south Louisiana, and I can tell you the above statement is true. And, yes, the roads are as bad as everyone says.

Thanks guys. I'll give them all a try and let you know the results.

Just spent 3 days on the boat, running my relatively new Honda EU1000 generator. Today I try to start it to heat the oil for an oil change and it won't start. New spark plug fires when grounded to engine. New gas, and the carb is clean inside. Finger over the spark plug hole shows good...

We once met a boat in the Bahamas that had circled the globe. They had adopted a cat in Egypt. When they arrived in their dinghy the cat stood in the bow like a figurehead, jumped aboard and made herself at home atop the furled sail. We were told that while at sea she would go on deck at...

If folks are comfortable pulling a +4000 lb boat on one 3500 lb axle then good luck to them. I added a second axle with SS disc brakes to my used trailer when I bought it. Cost was reasonable, experience minimal, few tools needed. +10,000 miles later I have had zero problems. Labor on these...

She had some really great ideas and her research was always right on. Miss her.

It took me a year to find my CD22 because I refused to drive to the west coast or PNW to buy one. Then four came up for sale in Florida. A quick trip and I bought the second one I checked out. Don't give up. Great little boat. By the way, many of us are sailboat veterans.

There are really two kinds of boaters here on the Gulf coast, fishermen (majority) and others. Fishermen, mostly bay boaters, can not understand why anyone would want a "boat like that?". The other group are great admirers, as this boat is so unique to the area. "Bet that boat could go...

2000 model Mine had a rubber cap pulled loose in one corner. Water had seeped in underneath the cap and between the fiber glass and blue board parts of the transom, requiring repair. After the repair, I routered the transom top down 1/2 inch and epoxied and glassed the void. Now the cap is...

Great job. Great documentation.

I replaced all the rivets on both rub rails. When I reseated the rubber strip into the metal rail (not an easy job) it was a couple inches to short. I just popped about 3 feet out of the metal strip and stretched it to fit and worked it back into the grove. I really don't think you need to...

I, of course, did not reply. Thanks for your quick reply.

I was just offered a prize if I took a CBrats survey. Upon choosing the prize I was transferred to a download type site. Just want to know if this survey is legitimate.
