I understand your feeling and concern the first time this happened to us was shortly after we got our dory water ready. only running deep V boats in the past I just headed out on 3/4 throttle. only to get in some outside marina mixed wakes from all the boats heading out to fish. needless to say...

as said above speed was a bit high. we deal with these freighters all the time fishing Coho in the shipping lanes out of Port Angeles. We try and give as much time for them to dissipate and take them on at a 90. Trim tabs were a great addition to our boat. and when there is a 1-2' wind chop...

sounds like a good shake down run, i was looking out the window earlier in the am(window overlooks the bay) thinking man today would be a great day to be out there. only to see it white capping hours later and thinking hope no one got caught in that one.... look forward to running into another...

just a curious question. with a said stuck anchor the best way to "free" it would be to motor above and away from it? I think i am going to go the zip tie way..

a lot of really good info, my deck pipe is the smaller version and is quite small. once we get and install the windlass it won’t be an issue but for now i have new rode in a milk crate and will use that in the coming months. more and more of my friends that anchor halibut fish swear by the...

milk crate will work good too and i will see about feeding it down once it has drained and see how much of a pain it is... the opening for the rode on the bow is about the same diameter as the chain is.(it has been a while since i looked closely at it) but seems much smaller than some of the...

Thank you all for the input. we are going to try the Danforth. and see how it does . that is an interesting point sunbeam about wind shift in the middle of the night. as we will be sleeping on the hook this summer. we will just have to see how she does. Dingy and rode have all shown up now and...

I like seeing the hours on some of these motors and hope mine makes it as long as well. we have around 320 hours on ours so it had been used very little before we came to own it. on our boat traveling back and forth across the straights in good conditions lightly loaded for a weekend with the...

that was a good deal if I had not just purchased ours i would of picked this up.

we put a 90 etech on our 22 right after we got it. it replaced a honda 90. we went with etech as I got a really good deal on it not from a dealer. i love the motor one down side is buying evenrude etech oil for it. other than that it has been a solid motor with no issues the last 3 years or so...

like said above it was a big transition for me coming from a deep v. and keeping speeds down, the surfing took me over a year to get comfortable with but you will like it once you get used to the hull...

I figured as much, I think i will Just place a piece of foam over the existing light when the dingy is up there and keep dingy off roof when on hook at night...

had a question about anchor light. current set up I have my anchor light coming off the base of radar and it sits just above the radar dome. when we have dingy up there it will go over the dome of the radar. my thought was to just unbolt and swing arm down and too the side. so it is out of the...

have to love the cabin on days like that.... bumb deal on the slow action..

I'll have to take a picture, thought i had one in album, we attached ours onto the rocket launcher. I had my buddy make mine for me so he welded on tabs to bolt lights too while he was making it. Ill take a pic tonight. it is wired both at the helm and the cockpit toggles. the lights we use are...

also i like the magnet idea and will be using that Kushtaka look forward to the pics, never thought to make it a closeable option....

thought I would follow this up. was sold on the achilles boat, although still shopping around until today. a few days back I saw how kennharriet dingy fit on the boat. and thought it would be the right one for us too. through pm found out it was the west marine RU3. was not all that sold on pvc...
