    Repower

    Well after some investigation it looks like JKidd is correct in that boats longer then 20’ the maximum capacity decal is not a requirement, so after I hear back from C-Dory I will remove the decal and head down to Sportcraft and get a 115 Yamaha on the way. Thanks all Dave Raven Dancer

    Is 75 enough

    I have run my 75 HP Yamaha on my 22’ Raven Dancer for 16 years now. When the boat is loaded & fueled up it will run 21 knots on flat clam water that’s right around 5500 rpm, most of the time I’m cruising right around 12 to 14 knots or slower seems like I’m never in that big of hurry.

    Instant Pot

    Harvey I looked my 6 qt up and it uses 1000 watts, time would very depending on the food your cooking. I have never used a inverter so I have no comment but I think any of the smaller generators would work just fine. You are right about the steam release but I would say way less then when you...
