    Tow Vehicle Tire Load Range

    What tongue weight are you expecting to see? The internet claims max is 500 lbs. I'm not sure you're going to see so much weight that you need a heavier load rating. Standard load rating (per google) is 2,756 lbs. That's just over 11k for four tires. The GVW of an FJ cruiser is about half...

    Repowering 16' angler, thinking of yamaha 70 4-stroke

    Number of people that can be safely carried on a boat = (boat length X boat width)/15 So theoretically, 6 people is allowable, but that formula assumes everyone weighs 150 lbs. You may be overloading your vessel in an unsafe manner.

    Talk me out of buying a C-Dory 22 Cruiser

    With a young family, you want shelter for them. Both my kids and my wife have zonked in the V-berth while out and about. You won't regret getting it.

    Mounting Pedestal Seats into the cored balsawood floor

    Given that the plywood is going to result in a lip, I would recommend painting it a totally different colour from the cockpit, to bring attention that one has installed a tripping/stubbed toe hazard. But that's just my 2 cents.

    Garelick boat seats

    I've been looking for some for years with no luck. You'll either have to make them or settle on something else, IMO.

    Limits of a C -Dory 16

    I've been out in some decent rollers-no idea the height, but at least 3' with a very short frequency and 20 knot winds. I can't say I was comfy or making good time, but I never felt concerned for my safety. I chose not to repeat said performance. Or in other words, pick your days and the...

    Are y'all still happy with this stuff? I'm looking into mostly adding some sound deadening. I've also been contemplating lizardskin, which is an automotive product that I've used.

    helm seat mount

    IMO, I would definitely add a slide, because piloting something where most things are a stretch is unpleasant at best. Can you simply reverse the slide so the handle is on the left? In other words, mount it backwards? It shouldn't matter, unless it's part of the chair. Although a full swivel...

    Railing vs. Flush Rod Holders - Opinions?

    I prefer flush mount because when I'm fighting a fish and if I have to follow it, I don't want any obstacles in the way. That and a lot of the fish fighting is done by my kids, and they have limited height still.

    Well...I have one on the Cape...but it's a 16 footer. I don't imagine I'd be any help but if you feel it'd be useful, I'm happy to let you check out the wee little C-dory.

    Honda BF50 Stripped Spark Plug

    A properly installed helicoil is much stronger than the base metal it is threaded into. You won't have any issues with one.
