    2024 SE Alaska cruise with 13 year old granddaughter

    Wrenny, You'll look at that book years from now and remember exactly the time, place and circumstances surrounding what happened to it. That is really priceless, in my opinion. Did you realize that some of the best ideas and memories come from the times that we are not in our normal routine...

    New (used) lower unit, a new noise, an other variables

    There's also a thing called "prop sing." Google it and you'll learn a bunch. Might be what you have with that noisy prop. On a another boat I had, changed to a different prop and it made noise at a certain rpm. No noise under and above that rpm range.

    Oh Boy, getting excited here! Just brought home the boat from Sportcraft Marina in Portland with a brand new Suzuki 175! Old Honda 150 gave it up out at Sekiu fishing so we got her a new motor a couple years early! Happy that Jay and Jolee are out at Sucia already. Super excited that the...

    Cracked! - Need a lower unit for Honda BF40 (1997)

    1) Put the lower unit on that is priced in the middle of the range. 2) Run it. 3) Keep on eye on newer used motors or... 4) When you sell the other 16, use some of the proceeds to purchase a brand new motor for the boat you are going to keep. That's what I would do and I over analyze...

    Cracked! - Need a lower unit for Honda BF40 (1997)

    Are you talking about the 16 you are keeping or selling? If it is the one you are selling, just fix it and send it down the road. If it's the one you are keeping then you'll have to think about your piece of mind. If it were me, I'd probably put the lower unit on it and run it. Then keep an...

    Cracked! - Need a lower unit for Honda BF40 (1997)

    All those things to maintain is a lot for sure. When I owned 2 boats, a cruiser and a fishing boat, travel trailer, 3 vehicles and the house, it was too much. We know have one boat, the 25 Cruiser, which serves both cruising and fishing. It sure has taken the pressure off. My suggestion...

    Cracked! - Need a lower unit for Honda BF40 (1997)

    IMHO I believe it is best to just purchase a lower unit, period. It will fit. Gear ratio is of no significance when your motor is 40/50 hp on a 16 C-Dory. I hope you don't take this wrong, not trying to offend, but try to avoid, at all costs, "Analysis Paralysis." It has bitten me in the...

    Replacing Balsa Core - Few Questions

    Good work on your part. I always enjoy reading about how others approach problems and then work through to a solution. As for uploading photos...you need to request a photo album from one of the C-Brats excellent owners and moderators: TyBoo At the top menu bar to the far right is "Help"...

    Seattle Boat Show 2024

    That's why most of us purchase good, used boats. Well, at least I do. I feel more satisfaction in finding a boat that is completely functional and then adding some new accessories to it. Even if we came into a bunch of money I don't think I could pull the trigger and purchase a new boat. I'm...
