We are headed over to Catalina tomorrow morning from Huntington Harbor, where our boat is now in a slip. We are hoping for calm winds, as forecasted, although you never know! I repowered with a new ETEC and have been thrilled by the reliability and performance. I too spoke with the harbor...

I recently replaced my anchor line with 300' of 3 strand nylon line. The anchor line works great, but on our trip to Catalina this weekend we noticed the mildew/ musty smell in the cabin emanating from the anchor line. I pulled it all out when we got back to the dock and it is clear that the...

My boat came with a Lowrance LXC 113. It is a great unit and I have it dialed in so that I can literally count the fish on rock piles. Side scan would be awesome and I would think about that if I did have to replace the unit. I purchased this DVD: http://www.pacificedgetackle.com/produc ...

I can get 5 mpg in calm water, but when I run offshore (65 miles to chase Tuna last week) in pretty normal, choppy conditions and come home in the afternoon when the wind is blowing, I tend to get in the 3's. I am looking at different props, which might increase the mileage. I currently have a...

We purchased a 1993 Cruiser in February and have been out to Catalina over 20 times since buying the boat 7 months ago. We honestly could not be happier and our kids (10mo. and 4) are having a wonderful time. My only complaint is fuel capacity. I repowered with and Evinrude 90 which has been...

I have been fishing offshore a number of times this season and spent a great deal of time sitting on the roof looking for kelp paddys. I was also thinking about a tower and took the boat into a local shop that does custom work (same shop that the previous owner had the radar arch built). He...

I purchased a 1993 22' Cruiser in February that was severely oxidized and faded due to a life in the desert. I used 3M restorer and wax and it worked like a charm: http://www.shop3m.com/60980106938.html? ... storer-Wax After 6 months, I am due for another waxing. Since the Blue trim is once...

I recently bought at 1993 CD 22 in February. The hull was in good shape and just needed a good cleaning. The motor on the other hand crapped out within a few days of buying it. Looking back, having to repower may have been the best thing that could have happened (despite the huge impact on the...

Sounds like you all had a great trip. I about fell out of my helm seat when I saw not one, but FOUR C-Dory's running back from Two Harbors on Saturday around 7AM. It was like something out of a C-Brat movie... a Tomcat, then a 25 Cruiser, then a 22, and then a 16- I think. We head over to...

Best of luck to all of the C-Brats headed over to the island today. I have been lurking on this thread for a month or so now. I tried to post an "on the water report" over the weekend, but struggled to make it work with my iphone. We just got back from 4 days at the island, from Thursday to...

I just repowered our "new to us" 1993 22 cruiser with a new 90 E-Tec. At WOT it goes up to 5000 rpm. Our top speed has been about 29 mph, although we have not had many opportunities to open her up on flat water. It runs great, is super quiet and has a 5 yr/ 1000 hr warranty. The only downside...

I would have started by taking the window apart... Man I love this site!

Sorry, I should have clarified. How do you remove the sliding frame from the window so that I can replace the screen material? Tim

Catalina surf trip

We spent last weekend at Catalina Island and had a wonderful time. My wife and two daughters (ages 3 and 6 mo.) are hoping to play hookey in August and meet up with the other C-Brats in the first week of August The only downside to our island adventure last weekend were the hoards of flies...

I am curious if anyone has thoughts about how a cargo box on the roof would impact the ride of a CD22 or be a safety concern, causing excess rocking/ rolling. We often travel with our dinghy rolled upon the starboard side of the roof, on top of a custom rack the previous owner installed. We are...

Thank you all for your support and wealth of knowledge around Wallas Stoves. Two weeks ago we completed a 4 day trip to Catalina, in which we circumnavigated the island. The stove performed flawlessly and I directly attribute that to the feedback listed here. I started the engines for a couple...

Thank you all of the quick responses. I will make sure to monitor the battery voltage and give it a try without the engine running. The notes about resetting the unit by pulling the fuse are especially good to know, since I likely would not have figured that one out. Bob- I especially...
