Hi Folks My beige cushions are pretty grimy after spending 25+ days on the boat over the last few months. The rust, blood and green? stains look pretty challenging. Any suggestions to try to return to original condition. Scrub with 409? Remove and wash? Have the carpet cleaning folks...

We were going to carry a 16 ft kayak over to the Bahamas but the fit on the roof was pretty akward. We put it in a 31 foot boat for the ride. A boat to look at is the Old Town Loon - they are wide, very stable and run striaght w/o rudders. It has a big hole that was comfortable for my 6'2"...

Just changed one on a CC23 - The release did not work - had to pry the tabs back and reclose when I put the new refil in. H

Hi Folks I'm touring the Bahamas for two weeks and the frig quit - actually it never revived after a three week layover. Is there a fuse in the circuit?? Couldn't find one on the fuse box. Is there an inline fuse on the Venture? Anything beyond that will have to wait - have cooler & Kalik...

Hello How much bleach for a 20 gal tank? Anything work better? Thanks Hank

Hello again Can anyone compare the WP inlet to Jupiter? Jupiter was pretty challenging when we went out> Thanks Hank

Good Morning I took my CC23 over to Man o War in May and will be going back next weekend. I will leave my rig at the airport (Cherokee) for 2 weeks and will have my daughter move it to a ramp or marina when the family flies back. I'll be comming across 2-3 days latter. Any suggestions...

Hello Brats My boat is over in the Bahamas (MOW) and I will be bringing it back across at the end of the month. I understand the inlet is a little easier than Jupiter which is where we launched from last month. Is the channel marked? Navigation tips? I'm flying out of WPB and will...

Hey folks From where I am sitting (Creek Cove MoW) it was worth it - I'm proud of my back - I can still move. I'm flying back to WPB on Sat and will bring the other crew of kids down on June 21 and will take the boat back then - found someone to pull the boat and put 2 more coats of...

Hey Folks ***Secret Advice*** For a crossing to the Bahamas here is the key - Make friends with someone with a deep V boat - bigger the better! Trip Hilights - Drove from NC Mon & Tues - Very happy with my 2001 Ford 150 - new tires & brakes made me feel safe - that would soon go away...

Just out a 9.9 Honda - with trim tabs I used the mini-jacker to clear them and get the motor height right - Shop for cost I think I got mine from tuppins for 89 H

Hello Just finished mounting a 9.9 Honda on my CC 23. I removed the port swim step and used a MINI-JACKER by T-H MARINE ($89) It allows you to adjust the height of the motor. I bought the motor on E-Bay and it was listed as a 20" shaft and it turned out to be a 25". I used 1 3/4 spacers...

Hi Folks A friend in town -Alex- has a place on MOW and there is a group that goes right after Mother's day each year. The group has shrunk to my boat and Patrick Eves' boat but having local knowledge available can't hurt. I was going to go it alone when school let out but this seems a lot...

Hi Folks Leaving out for ManOWar on the 14th (weather permitting). Anybody have experience with fishing in that area? Doesn't look like rocket science but I'd like to know what works - the boat may sink if I fully stock up with all possible junk. Thanks Hank

Hey Boris Not kidding - just confused - I am going to put something on the bottom just to address the opaque surface - I was trying to figure out the best option. Hank

Useful information but now I'm confused even more. I just bought epoxy sealer but think I may pass on it. In the future the boat will be in the water for a week to 10 days at a time (if I'm lucky). I have a clean hull at this point with an opaque (sp) surface from sanding with 100 grit to...

Hey Jim Does the bottom paint reduce speed much - the bottom is coated with an epoxy sealer before the paint itself?? thanks H

no it does't and I'm going to try to refinish the gel coat. H

Hey Folks Cleaned them off finally and tested the boat today.... back to original performance - 5500 rpm and 12 mph faster (30 mph w 6 people). With barnacles it was 4800 max and 18 mph with two folks. I assume the gas mileage has improved. Now I need to redress the gel coat - has a...
