The picture on the quietcar web site of the interior of a customer's car door seems to show a flat black product, or did I miss something? Places to apply black inside the pilothouse of a 16 would limited without another coat of white paint over it, and at something like $56 a gallon....

John, your decision may have to come from comparing many only similar experiences. I brought my 16 home yesterday [pause for wild cheering and applause], behind a Toyota Highlander. The vehicle is rated for 2000# as is, 3500# with special gear --on the vehicle. With the boat empty and no...

25 HP motors are all around and that's when I thought of two in place of a 40-50. I agree about too much weight on the 16, then online ran across Honda 20s, the only ones. Aha, that's it! Alas no one much closer than the C-dory dealer has Hondas, so service is a problem. Jet outboards were...

Very interesting and enlightening discussion so far. Thank you all. As to weight, Google says the Yamaha 50 and E-tec 40/50 are 240# and two Honda 20s together are but 16# more (58# over the Honda 40/50) --and they can be started with a lawn tractor battery and charge a remote Optima with the...

For something that seems not to have been discussed here yet, what about twin 25s, for all the reasons for twin engines, especially for my intended uses? It would cost more (OK), be about 50# heavier (move one gas...

OK, how about a 16 Cruiser with a spreader and strap under the transom and a lifting eye off of and just aft of the stem? Would the boat sag or crack over time? Sorry, but the boat has not come yet and I can't open the electronic manual either, but should be setting up the boathouse.

Thank you for the feedback, Sea Wolf. I'd hate to cook a band new 16. I should clarify what I said about the "poor man's automatic battery switch," specifically the activating side of the solenoid being wired to the On terminal of the ignition switch: I should have said the On terminal where...

Re: battery switching, a unit that looked suspiciously like a Ford starter relay had been added underhood to a mini-motorhome I once owned. The salesman called it a poor man's battery switch. I believe the activating side was wired to the ignition switch (On only, not Starter or Accessory) and...
