$13500 for a 22 on a trailer is not a bad deal even if you have to replace the engines, electronics, and refurb the trailer. As long as the hull is good. Looks ok in the pictures.

Be careful with the run, some of those diesel heaters do not tolerate a long exhaust pipe very well.

When I go to that site, all the image links are broken.

Rosboroughs have a semi-displacement hull which is deeper than a C-Dory hull. This probably helps with stability.

I have never noticed an excessive amount of ads on Hull Truth. But I do use Ad-Block on some sites. Rosboroughs are a nice boat. A bit bigger on a trailer than a CD-25. But you can stand up in the berth area.

In my case, the anchor has to tilt forward and down for the anchor to drop. If you prevent it from tilting, the anchor can't deploy. The strap around the mount and shank prevents tilting. The anchor normally sits fine in the mount without a load. The strap just protects against the anchor from...

I use a velcro strap around the anchor shaft and the anchor rest on the bow. If the anchor can't tilt out of the rest, it won't go anywhere.

The Norcold fridge in my boat is ~17 years old and still works great.

If you use a vented cap on the generator, it won’t draw from the external tank if the vent is open. The external tank needs its own vent. The cap with the hose barb is vented through the barb if there is not a separate vent or a hose attached. There is a video online on modifying a regular...

The rise on a C-Dory is measured from the bottom of the tank (worst case scenario) to the fuel inlet on the generator, which if you use a ported cap is basically the top of the generator. You may get some help if you fill up the generator tank and the fuel feed line with fuel so that there are...

I had my Honda 1000 gen hooked up to the spare outlet port on my Racor filter mounted at the transom. It did not work well. The Honda gens have a built in elevated fuel tank (in normal operation). The amount of lift they can provide for fuel delivery is quite limited.

External air pressure increases as you descend. This increases pressure on the outside of the tube, decreasing the pressure difference between the pressure inside the tube and the outside. As you ascend, the outside air pressure decreases, so the pressure differential increases. RIB and SIB...

Particularly in RIBs, the air pressure in the tubes is relatively low, ~1.5 psi, and the normal pressure range is about .5 psi. The tubes are also high volume which means a little change in temp has a bigger effect. Add in darker tubes (orange, gray, or black) and that more of the tube is not in...

More important to let out a little air before ascending. Going down isn't a problem.

I mean on the inflatable. I use the electric pump on the mothership (12vdc). IME, if you go on long excursions with the dinghy you might get a leak, which even if you patch it on the spot will require adding air to a tube. The other case is temperature swings. You might find that your...

Yes. I do it regularly and my batteries last a long time. But you should have the same type and size for both batteries.

Foot pump or hand pump is good to take with you in the dinghy when you are away from electricity and the boat needs a top up (leak or temperature change).

The foot pump will work, but depending on the size of the dinghy will take some work. If you buy an electric inflator, be sure to buy one that has a high pressure mode (meant for drop stitch things). A regular inflator (say for an air bed) will usually not be able to put out sufficient air to...

Closest I've seen at any Trawlerfest are Ranger Tugs (including the 23' OB model).
