Thanks guysl. Gotter down now. Actually I was trying it with both GIF and JPG formats not knowing what the problem was. Actually the problem was that I was adding the page to the url and it didn't need it.

Three and a half "frickin"hours later: :amgry

Here is some information for comparison I pulled out of manufacturer's spec sheets for Volvo Penta D3 engines and Yanmar engines. I think real world results might be different, but, they still might be relative to each other in performance. The real interesting things I found was the low...

I have a PC, and I was pretty sure I used the address which is the file name after the url according to the help. http://url/page/filename There is not www with mine. You can see the image at http://home.gci.net/~shadetree/cr25

I am trying to post an image and can't seem to get it done I have it on a personal web site and can see it from anywhere. I have the url set up on the post with the Img code around it. The post sees the image but displays it in a little box with an X in it. Is there something I am missing...

Bob The other night I thought this was an original idea I had. Just goes to show ya. Good job. How will you keep it from sliding open when only it wants it to. What size is your freezer, 40 or 60 qt? It looks like the 40. The lid on the 60 opens the other way. Also the 60 is 31 inches...

Les It sounds a little like your saying that it needs bigger trim tabs in the down position to keep the bow down at mid-range speeds. Wouldn't it be less fuel effecient having to drag the trim tabs through the water all the time? Or is the adjustment in bow rise pretty minor? Jeff seemed to...

I hear you about the weight. However, the refer that comes with the boat is about 70lb and it is framed in as well. The boat also comes with 4 gp27 batteries from the factory as long as it has both thrusters (per Jeff Messmer) and that is about 200+ lbs there. However you are right, weight is...

I found out that I can get Trojan Golf Cart Batteries here for $95 each. $400 for a bank of 4 isn't bad considering the 700 cycle life span and minutes on a bank like that.

Thanks Bob None of the specs I read about the inverter/chargers indicated that they did multi-bank charging. Sounds like it might be better to bite the bullet and go with the 50 amp charger and 1800W inverter. Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing the pics of the refer set up. dtol on...

The information provided so far has been extremely helpful. I have decided to forgo the factory installed refer and acquire a Norcold 60 qt chest refrigerator/freezer. I think that I may be able to cut in to the regular refer location and build in a sliding shelf that would allow the lid to...

I am left with some questions as I look through the factory options and other items needed to outfit a new boat. I am struggling through and learning a lot. I still need help though. I thought I might use this topic to ask a few questions about things I can't find out for my self. My dory...

Steaming ahead on course to buy a new boat, I am keenly curious about this as well.

Well I have a pair of Honda 45s (50s now) on my 22 that I bought with the boat in 1993. I have never had to do a thing with them that wasn't my fault (like running gravel through the impellers etc). They just run and run and run. The only time they have been to the dealer is for the checkup...

Bob You might be right on track with the CD 25 for me. I was still hoping to compromise some on speed (15-16 knots medium cruise and below WOT as apposed to 18-20 knots expensive running at WOT) to get the comfort and amenities for pleasure cruising. May not happen though. I,ll wait and see...

I believe this thread has helped keep me from making a major mistake. I was ready to jump last friday but didn't. Some very good people have shared their time and knowledge to answer questions and provide information in a most accurate and timely way. The original Rangers share the typical...

Thanks for the information on HP and speed. Here is a question. I understand that the numbers you gave were based on 3600 turns per minute on the propeller. The Volvo D3 160 produces 150 horses at 3000 rpm. The Yanmar 180 is the same at 3000 and the Volvo 190 produces 155 horses at 3000 rpm...

Les Do you think that they will ever be able to produce the CR25 at the production weight of 5400lbs or even <6000lbs that they originally projected?? I am not sure what they would have to give up in the design and options to do it. Are they looking at weight management at all in reworking...
