Greetings from Juneau Kushti! I run two manual Penn 600 with 18" booms, 12lb pancake weights and braided line. The down-riggers are about mid cockpit and I use rod holders right in front of my lazerettes (previous owners desing not mine). My pancake weights are bent so they flare out when...

I have 89 and I am sure the door has been replaced or glued and repainted white. I will try and investigate and take some pics...

I have been thinking about this trip too. I think it would be AWESOME!!!!! I live in Juneau and it would just be a short ferry ride and tow up to Whitehorse. The way I would do it is put your boat in at Whitehorse and leave it there. Then make the 330 mile trip to Dawson City and stash your...

I am pretty sure I know where this boat is if you want pics or more info. Pm me if you do. Hope I'll get out to Sitka some summer to fish kings.

Just saw this in Juneau http://juneau.craigslist.org/boa/4862094201.html

Here is another data point for price in AK. I purchased a 89 cruiser with a 2 stroke Yamaha 115 (that motor made the boat fly!!) and a 8hp Honda and the original ezloader trailer in Juneau 3 years ago for $13.5K. The hull was in good shape except for the screw holes in the deck for the fuel...

bennet m120 trim tabs

I vote permatrim and raise the motor. Mine AV plate is ~1" above the bottom line of my hull. Here are my experiences: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=20722 BTW i have an used set off Bennet M120 trim tabs I bought for my boat but I am not going to use. I am very happy with my...

ok so i am about to install a wallas 85 into my 22 cruiser and looking for advice on location and other strategies for minimizing blowback while under way. i was thinking of locating the exhaust outlet father back on the hull ~2 feet back from the sink outlet to hopefully have a little more...

Well I wanted to share something pretty cool that I did with my boat last week. it is a 89 22' cruiser with a new this summer to me 05 yamaha 90 which I installed myself. I have been very pleased with how easy starting, efficient (~4mpg at 4700 rpm at 25mph) and quite this motor has been and...

OK an update that leads to a question. I did not have a zinc attached to the transome but a bronze Dynaplate. when I removed it the damn thing cracked. I do not have a ham radio on board and do not plan on installing one. seems like the main reason to have a Dynaplate is to sluff extra...

TR Bauer yup that is a full AK boat. I am in SEAK and the most I every think I would have in my boat would be a 3 guys and gear, a raft, a moose and some halibut or crab. I would be so happy with that load that I would be fine going home at displacement speed. TR what kind of MPGs do you...

I am in Juneau AK so I am at sea level. No roads in or out. The highest elevation I would ever take the boat would be Atlin lake at 2200'. So maybe a 90 is what I need. I am going to look at 2005 Yamaha 90hp tonight. Anything I should look at in particular? Pretty sure it is EFI.

I looked at the Honda 115 for a bit but it is just huge!! and I like to have a kicker for trolling so it wouldn't work. Spike I assume you mean 3 gph not mpg. cause 3 mpg is what I get. Thanks
