Thanks Bob, I like that idea. I must have an air leak somewhere in the fuel lines preventing a siphon. That would probably explain why I was experiencing the stalling last weekend. The port side where I couldn’t get fuel to flow at all was the motor that was having more trouble staying running...

I just tried to drain the gas tanks in my usual method but no luck. I took the fitting/clip off the out board end and gave a few pumps while holding the end below the tanks into an empty gas can. One side got a siphon going but stopped after a couple gallons and nothing came out the other side...

Thanks everyone for experienced advice on trim and wot measurement. It’s adequate as is, but after fresh fuel I think I’ll properly measure wot and get some advice from my Yamaha dealer on props if needed. I don’t want to overwork or lug the engines to much.

Picked up the boat last weekend and took it out for two half day trips. It’s my first boat with trim tabs and they are necessary on this hull. They were helpful in correcting trim and weight changes when people moved seats, as well as keeping the bow down in chop. I was told by the broker that...

Bshillam- that is a long trip home! Jason- I have not boated on Champlain but looking forward to it.

Thanks for the advice, Harvey. My mother in law lives a mile away so I can stay there for the day and get it road worthy. It’s also a roller trailer, which I’ve never owned. I gather things roll off of them easily. I like that bunks offer support and friction.

Thanks for the welcome and trailer tips. I’ll plan to bring my bearing grease gun and spare from my other boat trailer. If I can identify the hub I’d like to pick up a spare to carry with me as well. It’s a six hour drive. The same one we do several times a year and we’ve replaced a few tires on...

Well, today I signed the purchase agreement on a 2008 22 cruiser. Hope to wrap up the details and pick it up next week. Trailer has four original tires so that’s the first thing in the list before I can bring it home. Excited to join the club. The boat is “C for Two” previously owned, and well...

Hi folks. Great site with lots of info and I’ve barely scratched the surface. I’m seriously looking at a 2007 22 cruiser. Likely going to give a deposit tomorrow if we agree on the price. It’s seems like it’s priced fairly so I’m not planning on much dickering. It will be contingent on...

Great info here. I’m looking at a 22 cruiser and was hoping to be able to mount my 60” terrova riptide on the bow. Sounds like it’s possible with a little ingenuity. I don’t think I can live without it now that I’m used to it.
