Steve... what brand is the cover you show in the pix and where did you purchase?

Tom... what heater did you get for your 19' Angler? Can you share wiring/mount location etc.? We plan to waer out the water for the first time this winter (central NC so no big deal) and may need a little extar heat on some days.

I'd agree with you, even with my limited experience. I began my tests of trim tabs by using both extremes. Took but seconds of full trim to tell me they'd rarely be used fully extended! Another question on permatrim... what's the risk of this thing breaking off part of my Yamaha?? There must be...

Some reassurances: RALEIGH - Gov. Mike Easley today (Sept. 24) said that his office has been working with the major oil companies constantly this week seeking the release of additional gasoline for western North Carolina. He said that most companies seem to understand the problem and are...

Thanks for the web site. Did you see the owner feedback from the 19'C-Dory owner, Darren, on that site? Pretty convincing.

OK... for those who make it to Oriental, I'll share my "pet" deer stories. My family knows I'm crazy so you all might as well know, too!

Thanks for the info. I was afraid I had a loose engine mount! I could see it happens at a certain rpm range. With all the input about permatrim, I am wondering about adding that. It sounds like this addition takes a lot of the touchiness out of this. I have no problems learning to adjust as...

Just received my EverLite Mini... got it on Amazon for 24.95 and 10 bucks shipping. Maybe could have found it locally and saved the send cost, but I think I'll like the light. Both the light and solar panel are small enough to fit in my 19' pilot house with ease. Lots of light for such a little...

No problems this way. We are about half way across the state (south of Greensboro about 45 minutes) WalMart was out of premium blends, but had plenty of Regular at 3.91... all you can pump. Filled up last night. We had the chaos when the storms hit Texas and all has calmed now. All the stations...

Bob... is the trick here not to rub it in? Am assuming the grit could scratch? Noted you used "dab". We've been using this on our stainless steel pots/pans for some years now and love it.

We'd be interested in a cruise up to Champlain... our old stomping grounds into the Green Mountains. I suspect we could find a way to make it seven plus days. Or could trailer further north and spend more time on Champlain.

And that's why I stay in a boat... I can usually outrun them! Gotta let go of my sides and breathe!!! :lol:

Invaluable info! Thanks... now I have to go out an experiment again... what a cryin' shame. :D You guys are both a couple notches ahead of me and this is really going to help. When you say droning, are you speaking of a slight kind of vibration? That's what I get around the 3000 mark. I feel...

Good notes! Based on my reading of this thread over the past week, I approached trim very differently this weekend. Big differences! I also found that 4000 - 4500 was the point where I was up out of wash and gliding very smoothly. I have the 90 Yamaha and had a little more than 30 gallons of...

Same here Tom. We have 2 concerns....How will our boat react to salt water...and...Will these people ever invite us to another gathering :wink LOL.... Salt water new to us, too. Ok... there'll be two boats hanging at the rear of the pack! Sounds lke a great place to learn though.

A week away and I'm beginning to stow items already. Our first time at such a gathering and a first in salt water. I'll be the one looking at everyone's setups and asking all the foolish questions! May not keep up during the Treasure Hunt, but we'll do the best we can. The Dory is certainly...

Can't wait to see the pix! We looked at the 22', both new and used, but the 19 just fit our needs. We trailer a lot to lakes across NC and will use it on the salt to our east as well. The 19' trailers so easily and sometimes the few less feet make a difference in tight launch areas. I thought I...

Thanks for the tip! I did a search thru eBay and found it at Amazon.com for $24.95 ($4.99 shipping - 4 days). This was exactly what I was looking for. I found a few similar here and there that would have sufficed, so walked away. I paid 5 bucks extra for the two-day shipping so I'd have it in...

Hi Tom... Am interested in your thoughts on trim for the 19'. I, too, am just learning what works best depending on conditions. Thus far I'd say we are running about the same trim up to the 12-15 knots range... it's after that cruise speed I am still searching for the right combo of engine...

Thanks for the info. Carol and I plan to be there early Friday AM. Will head down after work on Thursday and stay over somewhere along the way depending on how far we get... four hours, but leaving at 5 PM. I guess we'll launch and I'll have Carol drive the truck and trailer to the marina. Are...
