eBay? Marine consignment shop? Good luck. Thank you for sharing the progress notes. Clever work.

Not yet, I decided to launch and keep it in a couple more weeks. Will post pics and comments when time. It’s a heavy seeming cover, at least, which surprised me.

“ Important Update: Achilles & Tohatsu America Partnership We are excited to announce a strategic partnership with Tohatsu America Corporation. Effective October 1, 2026, Tohatsu America will handle all sales, distribution, and support for Achilles inflatable boats in the U.S. and Canada. We...

Four blade props (or the new sci fri looking ones) might get you there

If you can reach the wire clips/hooks all the way across the inside part of your transom— or know a lanky kid who can— then yes you should be just fine (you should replace the wiring that’s there with the new stuff). The gamble is whether you can get the new wire through the old actuator top...

What does the new Tomcat sticker say? On the 22’s I read of people here getting new official stickers from C-Dory with the higher limits presently used. Maybe you could do the same.

Hi. How have the weld mount cleats worked out in the year since this post? Thank you.

In the interest of "the boat cost me a lot of money this year already", I decided to punt on a nice / "real" cover and try Tom's disposable Amazon cover idea. I started looking for a compromise between the two, and found some in the $500 to $1000 range that ought to be close enough, but that's...

Hi. Do you ever have issues with water coming INTO the boat from that thru-hull? Do you have a high loop on the line? I'm adding a pump to the aft sump (first time; boat never had one) and am planning to repurpose the livewell drain thru-hull (since it's not used as a live well, and previously...

Picture’s worth a thousand words; thank you. How well do you suppose that would hold a few feet of snow without a frame (or stool etc)? They’ve started hauling out around here (RI, it’s not like we’re Alaska but the marinas are emptying), so covers are on my mind. It was over a grand to shrink...

This has been addressed many times in the past. Highly recommend the search tool. (Not saying this snarkily, but the answer is there for you now.)

Some can be used in the water, yes, provided you have a freshwater source to fill it with (and presumably keep filling it with, as with a barrel). Do some internet searching and see what works best for you and your mobility etc.. Here’s my 2019 Honda BF90 with the OEM flush port up top. Unscrew...

Does your model year Honda have a garden hose style flush port up top? If yes, use that with the motor fully down but do not turn the motor on. If not, there’s always flush bags. I had a Tohatsu TLDI 40 on another boat that only had a flush screw or spot for muffs, but I could run that motor...

I bought mine in Maryland (drove down from Rhode Island), and the owner was incredibly leery about the transaction process. I wanted to do a bank check, and go to his bank, where they could check the legitimacy of it on the spot. (For lower amount boats, I bring a check a few thousand less than...

Good of you to ask. However, this screams of a scam. You shouldn’t have any trouble selling a C-Dory without a probably-made-up report even if she were broken in half. And if it’s not a scam, that’s not an easy nor educated boat buyer; find someone else with less friction. Really, buy a sandwich...

Do you know what years of 22 these will fit?

I personally try to avoid “portable” motors I can’t easily move myself. 20” means you won’t necessarily need an articulating up/down mount, but it does mean it’ll need a sturdy one. My 22 came with a Panther mount that moves up or down and is rated for 35hp (no idea why the prior owner bought...

Welcome. The search function is your friend here. 20 years worth of information on this very question.

For those using the Angola covers, do you need to add a stiffener / support over the cockpit to prevent water pooling (/ resist snow weight) like when using a tarp? Also, what do you do with your motor? Is that covered by the Angola cover as well? Do the covers have (or need) air vents like...

Is there a rating on the bolt? Linear equal distribution 2tons divided by 14= 315lbs each, static load, which a trailer is not always. Are all boards in contact with the hull? Some are often guidance bunks / rollers that don’t support the boat but protect the hull during loading. The weight...
