Pat, those look good. And I be they feel great too. Are those the actually mounting screws? I guess I thought they would be beefier.
Nice work.

Yes, those are the actual mounting screws, the same ones that came off when I removed the handholds.

| Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! We can't wait to get this boat in the water. Now...since we want to be able to sleep on it once in a while, what air mattress do you all recommend?? |

Hark, I think I hear a case of 2 foot itis coming on 
Air mattress? At my age it would be a self inflating 
Welcome and good luck.

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_albumName=album2893&id=100_0043&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_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.

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. |
