I was just thinking how nice it would be to have AC. Does anyone with a 16 have AC?

I did simply lay it down in the middle of the storage area.

I have 2 batteries and 2 six gallon tanks in the back. This weekend I took one my full six gallon tanks and put it up front. The weight "up front" definitely helped balance out the load.

Though I have a 16 Cruiser, we have never slept on the boat. We have made 2 trips to St. Augustine from Daytona Beach, about 56 miles. I usually stop about halfway and switch tanks. Personally I am interested in longer trips but I think my "cruising limit" is about 30 miles at a time. I wish...

Thanks Bob I am always amazed at your vast wealth of boating knowledge. I spoke to Marc yesterday and I think we figured to try a Solas 3 X 12.2 x 9 Aluminum Propeller RH AMITA 3. The bottom scrapping continues.

I was thinking Solas Aluminum RH AMITA 3 which has a 12.2 Diameter and a 7 pitch. Is the 7 pitch too much of a drop from the 11 pitch on there now?

Sunset over New Smyrna Beach

Nice 14lb 8oz Red Snapper

Nice 25 inch Trout

Thank you all for the input. I would be happy cruising at 12 and all out at 21. I don't particular like to go that fast myself. Here is where I am at in my research and I still have questions. My current propeller is a Power Tech Stainless SRD 3 11P-YS50 which is an 11.25 diameter X 11...

Just got back from St. Augustine where my return trip speed topped out at about 12 to 13 MPH at 4400 RPMs. I know weight can be a problem (packed a lot of stuff for the trip). What else could be slowing me down? Marc, if you are seeing this, I met Frank with his 2008 Ranger Tug he purchased...

Thanks everyone. I started the power washing and the scraping. It is definitely a time consuming project.

I fished out of a 9 foot inflatable using the Minnkota 55 lb thrust saltwater trolling motor and an Optima 12 volt battery. Most days that was fine for where I wanted to go though it was slow. One day the wind picks up and the tide is strong coming right at me. I am about a mile from where...

OK it was stupid. I left my boat in the water here in New Smyrna for a month. While it was nice having a dock to be able to get out and fish every morning it seems I am going to pay the price. When I took the boat out yesterday to return back home a crust of barnacles is all over the bottom...

I can't believe this post goes back to October of last year. Just wanted to say Peggy and I did become members of the Daytona Beach Boat Club and it has been a very enjoyable experience. The club has about 90 members with about 40 or so attending most of the events. In December we cruised to...

I am also happy with the 16 Cruiser. I just have this fantasy of driving past an East Coast C-Dory dealership along a busy highway where on display is an open C-Dory shell with a tiller outboard. Next to that is the 14, next to a 16 and so on. All in various deep rich colors.

If only this boat could be built and sold at a reasonable price. I just think it is a cool little fishing boat.

Personally on the Bimini Top? I installed mine locally the second I got home. As a fisherman the Bimini gets in the way. While it is great for shade I find I keep it rolled up more often than not. A second battery with a switch is a relatively inexpensive useful option to add. I'm now...

You really begin to appreciate the memory of that beautiful warm Saturday when you are in NJ looking at piles of snow that look as if they will never melt. Thanks for the picture of the Pegstan coming through the canal.

Marc is on the west coast! Of Florida, We want him moving to our side of the state. GO Navy It is about a 300 mile drive for me to get to Marcs at Wefings. Marc is a big help and a nice guy. I trailered our boat the 300 miles back home then trailered it up to Beach Haven NJ for vacation and...
