I've been certified for 50 years.  in  my younger days i dove off the Channel Islands lots. When I first looked at he headline I thought "how can a boat full of swimmers lose that many so close to shore?" Then it seems a fire may have trapped them below decks in their bunks.  Tragic. When I...

I've had the Canon 10x30 ($460 Amazon) and 15x50 ($1050 Amazon) for many years. Not marine grade but I love them.

I put a Killawat on mine and it does 1,000 watts heating up then bounces between 200 and 1,000.

I've had one for a year. Love it. A little learning curve, but great one pot meals and much more flavor than a slow cooker. I can make chili verde in an hour. I use it at least once a week. Tons of recipes on the interweb. Makes the best stock using turkey/chicken carcasses, ham bones or...

My recently purchased 16 Cruiser came with a Karavan 3,100 lb capacity trailer. The Karavan is overkill. It’s heavy, too long and too wide for my new garage. I’m looking at a bunk EZloader 14-18', 2,300 capacity with a swing tongue. Any other recommendations? What are the pros and cons of...

Tag for next year when the kids get back from jobs in Europe to the Seattle area and I can get my 16 Cruiser over there from Idaho.

Agreed. The bow cleat has to be relocated no matter what. I get the trolling motor and mount next week and will measure 3 times before I do anything serious. Remember, there us much less to work with on a 16.

I feel confident enough to fill the holes but will take it to a professional shop to make it look good, The sweep of the trolling motor raising an lowering means no railing. Cleat moved more to bow A hit to resale for sure unless sold to a slow trolling fisherpeson. Any mount has to be angled...

That was my fear. Once I cut through and access the nuts, do i need to completely reseal the bulkhead or will re-foaming with an open or semi-open hole be good enough? Good news is that I can now put a nice backing plate on the trolling motor mount. While we're at it, how to fill the leftover...

I want to put a bow mounted trolling motor on my 16. That will necessitate removing the bow rail and relocating the bow cleat forward. Easy peasy I thought. Not so fast Skippy. All the screws will turn loose but they will not back out. There also seems to be some adhesive under the...
