Thanks for the come back. Do you have any information about GPH and MPG at different RPMs? Part of what I need to determine is how much extra fuel I will need to carry to have a 250 mile range. And how I will carry it. No gas stations in Prince William Sound. I figured that I would need 71...

Does anyone have some performance data for the Suzuki 115 on a CD 22 Cruiser? Looking hard at one and would like to rundown as much information as I can. Used to be on this site a lot back in the day when I owned the Shadetree. A 22 Cruiser that I bought new in 92 and sold in 2007 when I...

Thanks Joe

Has anyone found a way to extend the exaust on a Honda 2000 generator? I would like to modify a box to hold and run the generator from and the primary issue is to be able to extend the exaust out and away from the box. Denny

Bump it up

I have a 2007 Ak Series 240TDS 8ft Dark Green Tender for sale. It has the Grizzly Claw armor bottom protection option. It is like new. I had it on my 22cruiser for about a month in 07 and it was in the water once at the 07 Alaska CD gathering. I bought a bigger boat and upgraded to the Ak...

Bob I assume well prepared means degreased, wiped down with rubbing alcohol, and roughed up a bit. I have used brake cleaner to prepare aluminum housings for epoxy on my vehicles. I would think that would work well to degrease any film from the aluminum on a boat.

How does 5200 work with aluninum???

I used the ring and bouy method for the past 13 years. I have never had a windlass on my old 22 Cruiser. We would regularly anchor in 200ft or more to fish halibut. Often multiple spots in a day. It works best and is safest if you have someone on the bow during this operation to shorten the...

I tried to get them to put the Volvo D3 160 in it a couple of years ago. It needed a little modification to make it fit. They chose not to because they had enough orders for the boat with the smaller Yanmar. I probably would have a Ranger Tug now if they would have put the bigger engine in it...

I think the price of diesel is tied to the demand for heating fuel. Thats why you find diesel cheaper than gas in the summer and more expensive than gas in the winter.

Everything is relative. Relative to what you paid for it and relative to what money is worth today relative to when you bought the boat. One of those dots on the chart is probably mine. I just sold the Shadetree with her original motors for 29K. I paid 31K in 1993 for the boat trailer and...

Yes, it was an amazing year for us tool. We had better weather and better fishing this year than any before. We also learned how to catch shrimp in PWS. It was an amazing ending for out time with our C-Dory. After 14 years this was the last for us and the Shadetree. She is pretty well...

Maybe even Red Fox too hey!!!

My 22 Cruiser in Chugiak is looking for a new home. PM me. Denny
