ha, I knew I was justified adding tabs to the list of endless expenses/upgrades I want to do!!! damgit, I lose again :?

I am confused, cracking the windows on a car does what I want to accomplish and the is passive venting. Am I missing something here??? I am not trying to air condition the boat with a solar fan, just keep the inside temp equal to or as close as possible to the outside temperature. Preferably...

anyone recall the length of bolts used? going to measure one rivot hole that is completely blown out but would like to get what you used if you've already done the deed.

I was trying to inflate and set out the lines from the cockpit. I have switched back to the bow. Reverse at 1100-1300 rpms depending on the wind speed and the vessle slowing snakes back and forth upwind in "auto pilot". Used this for years off my skiff. OK time to try another anchor and all...

can someone with permatrims and trim tabs chime in here as well. Even though the permas made a HUGE difference there is still alot of "gentle bumps" charging into it upwind, at a shallow angle to boot. The more I am using this boat for work the more I like it! I am wondering how much more I...

In the spirit of crack the windows, which keeps my truck 20-40 degrees cooler than windows up on sunny days... just for when she is locked up and not in use. Anyone care to chime in here, solar vent to keep the blast furnace at bay???

great thanks for the feedback. i grew up on the artic tundra, salt and corrosion are a small price to pay...

I have read most of the stuff and was lucky my vessle can with permatrims on the twin 40's. Man that was sweet, not only could I smooth it out by stuffing the nose in but also level things out when I had an uneven load. Now after a repower I am down to a single 115 and put about 50 hrs on...

I am wanting to keep the temperature down inside the cabin when locked up and not in use. Mainly as I am hoping to minimize degradation to the power station that runs my mini a/c. If I can keep the inside below 104 I could even charge but that is not critical. I am considering putting in a...

Please help! I have been using my Dory to teach kiteboarding and have been LOVING it!!! except anchoring... I was trying to anchor to hold position and setup the kite off the stern. However the vessel sails back and forth soo much that she would pull the anchor and drift down on the kite...

Alright stainless bolts seem to be the preferred weapons for this mission. I am now looking for good trim option to hide hardware on the inside. I don't want to be looking at a line of fasteners running all around the inside. That will remind me forever of the rubrail failure project. If I...

excellent work lads! I am 97.2% talked out of it already! thanks much for the feedback/insights

anyone want to tell me why this is a bad idea??? I really like the look! https://boatbuildproject.com/images/Rope-Rub-Rail.jpg

Well my '04 22 commuter has the rub rail rivots failing. Has anyone ever thought of/done a classic rope rub rail? Anyone who has done the rub rail care to chime in? I have read up the great threads showing others projects to re-attach the original. All ideas/wisdom welcome. Thanks in...

bit of a delay but finally got the picts up in my album

We bought the boat in 2019 and this shows lot of the production of many trips.
