I will provide an alternative viewpoint. It is true that these older boats hold their value. However there may be many bugs to work out. If you are not handy, it could be a very unpleasant experience. You will need to change out fuel lines and a variety of other things. Even if stored under...

Those plastic bowls are so hard to get off

I have never been involved in planning one of these. How about meeting in Yorktown on 5/16, then to cape Charles on 5/17, norfolk 5/18? Could be anytime during warmer weather though. Dan McPartlin

Agree with the weather on the bay. It can get quite choppy making the crossings. I always seem to run into it. I had rough weather the whole 70 miles from tangier to norfolk last summer. I like some waves though it makes the trip more fun Cape Charles has two nice restaurants. Just a few...

York River Marina to Cape Charles and then to waterside in Norfolk. Roughly 30 miles between each stop. Might not be far enough though. All are really nice spots. I really like Cape Charles. It is like a town that time forgot

I just installed a kicker bracket on my boat. The bracket is an Amarine-made product. I like the moveable bracket approach so a short shaft can be used, easier to carry and while underway the skeg stays far out of the water when the bracket is in the fully up position. Make sure you over drill...

Anyone have the part number for the gear oil gasket on a honda 90? Couldn't seem to find online. Thanks

I purchased a mercury 4hp four stroke kicker for my boat. I was thinking it would be a good idea to have it in the event I broke down in a remote spot such as the dismal swamp. I found that it was not enough power to move the boat well against any degree of current or wind. It felt like a had...

The theory that water will not penetrate through the balsa squares is not correct. The gas tank screws into my deck caused water to completely saturate most of the deck. My boat is a 2005. Check out the album.

Depending on the weather I will be coming up the bay in late June to Tangier Island. I would expect to arrive Friday afternoon 6/27 and then head to Norfolk late morning on 6/28. Would be great to catch up with you there. Regardless of your timing, I can't imagine being in the bay for two...

I had good luck with nida core. I would bet the area you need to repair is larger than you think. I have a link to the supplier I used in my photo album(Bob actually found the place for me). I used a circular saw the cut out the rotten area. A grinder was too messy and too imprecise. I would...

Nice job. The process of boat repair can be so stressful. But it is nice to know that you can fix your own boat! Plus I like being on the boat anyway, even for repairs.

Here is a link to the manual for honda 90 impeller change. http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/ ... eplacement. Here is the kit, that can be purchased on amazon Sierra International 18-3283 Marine Water Pump Service Kit for Honda Outboard Motor I changed mine a few months ago, not a big...

Just rename it! Forget about the ceremony. My boat was named "Grin" and it had a cheesy smily face after the name. The name had to be changed

Water intrusion spots should be easy locate. Look where they attach the gas tanks. Assume the core is wet around the rear hatches and the tanks if the PO did not seal these areas. You can view my pain with this issue in my album. The boat is so awesome though it is worth working around these...

I bought a used bimini top on ebay that came from a C-dory that was destroyed by a tree. Painful image to think about! The top connects to the cabin with awning track. I don't have any pictures to see how it was set up on the original boat. I was wondering if someone has mounting instructions...

I found a bimini top for a 22 that is for sale after the boat was damaged in a storm. They guy wanted $150.00 for the top, which is reasonable, but he said the shipping would be another $150.00 from FLA to VA. I was wondering if anyone had experience shipping a bimini for a more reasonable...
