Ahoy from Birch Bay, Washington!

Now...since we want to be able to sleep on it once in a while, what air mattress do you all recommend??

We finally settled on a couple of 1 inch thick "ThermaRest" knockoffs from Fred Meyers, but we have the cruiser CD-16 that has a berth. They are self inflating and store away easily. I'm not sure how well those would work on the Angler, where sleeping would be on the cockpit floor.

For covers, I bought an inexpensive comforter and modified it to fit the V berth. That sewing might not be necessary for the Angler. The idea was to get something warm/thick that eliminated the need for sheets and could be tossed in the washing machine after a weekend. Worked great except for the 26 degree night at Yellowstone. http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _photo.php

MikeR slept in his Angler and maybe he will have some insight. Or maybe it's why he bought a bigger C Dory.

I use a sleeping bag in the Vee-birth, and in the bag, I use a fleece liner. Never cold.

The re-power is done. This is Crabby Lou in Barb and Berry's driveway. Berry is going to get her good and shiny with Shurehold Buff Magic and Pro Polish. Then the handholds and grab rails go back on. Finally, all the canvas goes back on, and she will be ready to splash!

Looks great. I would move that kicker to the port side.

Good idea, even up the weight starboard and port...

Since the 40 hp is dead center, why would moving the kicker to the Port side make a difference?

If you are out there alone especially she will list to starboard. Also, if you have two batteries, like we did, they will probably be on the starboard side,. even if you start out with a full 6 gallon tank. It's a great little boat either way but it is
sensitive to weight distribution.
