Ok , got a new prop on the Norma Jean 2
22 C dory cruiser.
It now runs 23 mph wide open and trim tabs down 57k rpm
Trim tabs down brings the nose way down in the front.
My learning curve, never had trim tabs before.
Think I will stick with the Honda 90 for at lease another years
I just ordered a new prop, same as the old prop.
The mechanic thought it being banged up was probably the
cause and it only costs $125.
Let's see if it works
Checked the prop is a 13.5 X 15
its a little dinged up , so might try a new prop first.
I usually run 15 mph at 5000 rpms under moderate loads.
Any suggestions on different size prop but I like aluminum is
case I hit stuff on the Mississippi.
Thanks for the help
I have a 22 ft 2019 with a 90 hp honda.
Is it worth it to upgrade to a new Yamaha 115hp ?
About $10k with trade in.
I would like little more speed up to 20 mph without
giving up too much gas efficiency.
Hoping to have the Norma Jean 5 to 7 more years
Basically yes to all . Nice marina, great river ride to Dubuque
about 60 miles north or about a day.
restaurants within easy walking distance.
A very nice lagoon to anchor out in if you didn't want to pay dock fees
Large boat ramp.
Any idea what time of year would work ?
September...
I have a 22 ft crusier 2019 and previous owner installed an AC uniti
on top.
Would it sturdy enough to place a thick foam mat on AC and strap kayak
on top kayak pads ?
Would it be too tall or top heavy.
Small 10ft pelican kayak about 35 lbs
Thanks for any help
Recently bought a 2019 C Dory 22ft cruiser.
Wishing to have a small tv with a dvd player for evenings.
The boat does not have a wallace cook top just open counter.
Is there a better place ???
Thanks
