i got my answers. i did run a drill clockwise on the shaft of the lower half with it submerged in the water. got a nice cascade of water shooting up out of the pump housing. ok, so i said prior, that i hooked a water supply to the flush port, and i got a stream of water out of the pee hole...

Does this motor use a thermostat? I had merc 2 stroke 8 hp that wouldnt pee until the thermostat opened. Did you put the key back on the shaft? Could have fell out OR the rubber impeller broke loose from its hub and is just spinning on itself, I've had that happen to thanks for reply. i...

got a nice mercury 9.8 2-stroke. kicks over on a pull. just that it wasn’t pumping water. replaced the crumbled up impeller and thought problem solved. i believe i got all the old impeller pieces out? all the fins on the new impeller bend nicely, as i rotate the shaft clockwise, key locked...

could you better explain this 19" length you come up with? i thought this cdory model is a standard 22' length? also, boat location is NC, correct?

i was only looking at the $5k hull, and even THAT was more than enough of a crap shoot. would have been perfect to then transfer everything over to a 25’ next year including a new yamaha 25hp as my kicker.

thanks, that's the exact direction i'm headed. even invested in just a $5k hull, "made in china" is all the warning anyone needs. i just liked the super small pilot house configuration, so i threw up an inquiry to see if anyone had 1st hand knowledge. nothing but bass boats and 40 year old...

8 chinese people = 2 regular sized at least that’s how it works out when i buy shirts made in china?

mark, if nothing else, you were pleasantly amused? yeah, the 8 person capacity on a 2 person boat was definitely the thing that broke my confidence in what might show up. i'm seriously looking for the 1st good cdory 16 for this season, and hope i can be geared up without too much fuss. i wasn't...

my budget isn't $5k. but YES, your thoughts are what i suspect. (it's not a posting that doesn't invite criticism) however, keep in mind, i was only referring to this as a (temporary) solution of having something in my driveway to head out in june (if only boat leasing were an option . . ...

i'm sure to get some responses on this one. (please, no replies just to bash) my long term has my sights set on a tomcat or glacier bay. however, i'm holding off one more year before the big purchase, and so i need something (temporary this season) just to drop in for a few miles offshore. can...

westward, you're addressing my thiughts and concerns with a bit more insight, and it's great l. but some guys need to do the knee-jerk response, based on their own wants. i am enormously self-sufficient, could restore and maintain an old vessel with the same technical skill as a hous or car...

discovery, you must be on the super high end of people trailering a T255. although you confirm it's more than possible, a 10K lb multihull load is something too intimidating for me personally, to do on a regular basis. i don't think a f450 would make it any less harrowing either. (not for me and...

thank you brent, your boat list history and weather condition referenced speaks volumes on the feedback i wanted. i'd did a thread a little earlier on figuring just what i could trailerable from vegas to CA? in that one, it was the CD22 that was the only thing practical. but on this thread, i'd...

kevin, i agree whole heartedly, versatility, stability and all you've said. (based on board consensus, and my own needs) and with that, it's kinda looking like the only package beating the T255, is a bigger cat. (again, my own needs) i suspect anyone venturing much past the islands in a 25' is...

thanks for the tip on the bc charters dauntless. since shifting towards bigger and doubling my investment, i'm pushing my purchase date a year as well. test riding when i'm ready (although, with too much buyer's enthusiasm) may just be a lot easier. i do plan on inquiring at the SD marinas this...

what's the little dingy doing parked behind the armstrong? oops, a CD22, whaaap, whaaaaa :( hey mokens, have you seen my thread in T255 vs CD22? a lot of generous guys putting several real good posts in there. really drive home some sound points. i think you'll find worth digging through, as...

tim, you've reinforced what so many have said. the T255 on top of my list for the added safety and room to grow. plus, who is really content spending a weekend on the water with a bathroom that's little more than a bed pan :( mike, i appreciate your take on the RF246. for the 80% of the time...

hailman, i wish i could be more on your level, but i'm married 1st, fishing/boating 2nd. if it were solely up to me, i'd sell everything, live out of a trailer with a 34ft welded aluminum armstrong cat. and work towards running my own private charter someday and never look back. coming from a 5...

thanks gene, i've gotten a whole lot of good feedback lately and confidence in knowing where to head in my search. your stating that your wife fairs way better in seasickness on the T255 helps paint a picture in broad strokes. having my wife on board more, going out a bit further, perhaps...
