Hydraulics leak over time, that's just the way they are. Some leaking more than others isn't surprising. If I were you I'd just use the hard lock and take the pressure off of both of them.

Honestly I disagree, it's fine if you're on a schedule. You just need to have your schedule take the speed into account!

Hi all, The Smart Alec has been sold, and will be on her way to Portland, OR tomorrow morning. Thanks for the interest! Alec

One last update, I just realized the bottom was painted with Micro CSC paint, not Micron 66 (66 can't be used in fresh water, CSC can).

Hi Harvey, No, no trailer (kept it in the water so had no need for one). Alec

Woops, knew I'd forget something as soon as I posted. This boat also has Bennet Trim Tabs and a Radar Arch.

Donated, happy to do it. There are few other sites I visit more or derive more value from.

I've had excellent luck with iWork 08. While not free, it is reasonably priced and includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint clones that all work very well.

The crew of the Smart Alec had a fantastic time, and many kudos to whomever was responsible for the weather!

My guess would be around 1030-1100, depending on when we actually get underway. Alec

Ah, good to know. I usually use 68 as my working channel anyway, but I'll setup a monitor there too. Thanks! Alec

Hi All, There is a group of boats (currently 3) that is departing from outside the Edmonds breakwater at 1000 on Friday the 16th, planning to hit the 1430-ish slack tide through Deception Pass. As these trips are always more fun with more participants, anybody else heading north from or past...

As a follow-up to this thread, I just got my boat back from Bayside Outboards in Everett. They did a super job and charged what I was quoted to do the 20 hour service on both of my Honda 50HP outboards ($200 total). Will be using them again.
