    Thinking of buying a 16' Cruiser: a few questions

    Hi I have a 16 cruiser. I would think the boat for your purposes as a day boat would be OK. I am on the other coast and use it for that. Go out with between 2 and 4 adults on a regular basis. 8 knots if it is rough and 22 on plane if it is calm. You can look at my picture album as I put a bench...

    Inside steps for 16'

    Bought a teak bench 52" wide X 15" Deep from Overstock. Found a 52 " X 15" cushion on Amazon. Now I have a large boarding step and I have 2 more seats for use under way. Not sure how to post picture here but will put them in my album. Always been sort of a pain that I only had 2 seats and the...

    Trailering long distance advice 16' Angler

    I did a similar trip 3 years ago. Brought my 16 Cruiser from Upstate NY to southern Virginia. About 500 miles I got a rubber transom block (Wedge) that goes on the motor strut to tilt up the motor. Tilt the motor put in the rubber block and tilt down to lock it into place...

    Inside steps for 16'

    You got me thinking. I just ordered a Teak bench that is 51" wide. I think it will fit nicely at the rear of the cockpit. It can provide its use as a step from either side and also be additional seating. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/H ... n=15195554 Will let you know if it work out.

    Inside steps for 16'

    Just noticed 2 things in your pictures. 1. If you take your 2 step and turn it so the lower step is under the splash well would make a bench seat while under way. 2. Do I see a 3rd seat in your cockpit mounted on the V Berth? If so how does that work for you?

    Hand to electric winch conversion

    1. When Towing you can leave the clutch in the lock position which secures the boat to the trailer. Of course I also use a safety chain. 2. If you do not want to make a permanent connection to the battery I have seen people use long Jumper cables for when they want to connect to the battery. In...

    Hand to electric winch conversion

    I did this last year. Check out my pictures of the Annie M to see it. Was able to use 2 of the 3 holes from the original hand winch. Had to drill the other. Did require an adapter plate that was available from the winch manufacture. I tow with a BMW SUV and it has the battery in the back of the...

    Trim is very faded

    My 2004 16 cruiser I guess has seen too much sun over its lifetime. I think it is beyond compound and waxing. I was thinking of having it painted. Their is a shop here with a larger spray booth for boat painting. Any thoughts on this? What questions should I ask the shop?

    60hp on a 16’ C-Dory

    What you will find is NO DEALER will hang it. They are afraid of the liability. So, if you buy the motor and hang it yourself you will be OK. That said…..if you are ever involved in a on water accident the opposing attorney will fillet you if they get the chance. I think it would be tough to...

    Ballast

    I actually have a 16ft cruiser and have ballast. My problem is when I am alone too much weight on the right side and the boat is not level. This causes a steering problem. I put 3 25 pound weights under the passenger seat to almost level out the boat. Also keep the anchor and chain under the...
