Slip 12A is available now for any early arrivals starting Friday. Its not working out for us, so we're postponing our hontoon trip. We'll be cruising the area starting the 19th - 28th. Wish Spring break lined up with this event every year, but this is a continual problem for us working stiffs...

We've been planning a trip to Cumberland for years, but have yet to actually do it. We have cruised most of the Georgia coast in the 4 years we lived there. One deterrent for us this time of year is if the temperatures are anywhere between 60 degrees and 80 degrees, the sand gnats will eat you...

Awesome choice. We love our V-tec Honda 90. The only problem I've ever had with it is one of the cooling hoses under the cowl would pop off flushing with a hose at the dock. Probably more of an issue with uneven hose pressure than the outboard itself. I fixed it with a small zip tie and it's...

Rob I wish we would have known you wanted it back then. It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. The buyers that bought that boat have never been heard from again after watching the trailer drive off. Its like adopting out a beloved pet you cant have anymore, but I still want to know its...

The 21 is more of a toy boat in my eyes. It might work well for a daytime salmon troller or a sunset booze cruiser, but nowhere near as versatile as the 22 c-dory. Now if we're talking about the 23 r-tug with outboard power, that's a boat that checks a lot of boxes and I would seriously...

I've been using interlux micron 66 for the last few years. The high copper content really helped keep the barnacles and growth at bay when we lived on the coast and had a dock. It's not cheap but really is effective. Recently I had an incident with some uncharted rocks that nicked up our...

The last two boats I've had Lenco tabs. The control box needed replacement once on our last boat, which was a fairly expensive piece but it was an easy plug and play fix. On our current 22, the controls on the dash seem to have intermittent problems with the LED lights. Probably a control box...

I'd love to see pictures. These longer early c-dorys don't come up for sale very often and I'm not familiar with a 26' long house. Is it possible this is one of the 27s that were built around this time? is it the deep V pro angler 26? Either way cool boat and it has value if in good shape. Keep...

Yes that's the case with our boat. We're usually loaded heavier than average I would guess. Day trips aren't really our thing, so its usually multiple days worth of groceries in a big cooler in the cockpit, and fuel tanks full. We also have a kicker. With that much weight aft, it rides better...

I think is not about the total weight but balancing it on the boat. Especially the case on the 22'. The engine, batteries and fuel on these boats are all at the rear of the boat even before adding things like coolers to the cockpit. When our lovely 200 lb French mastiff was still alive, she...

I called the guys at Scan Marine when retrofitting a used Wallas into our boat which never had one installed from the factory. They felt the 3 foot exhaust hose the factory used was not adequate to provide the upward loop needed to prevent water into the system. They sold me an exhaust hose a...

Its been done. Is there room for anything else back there if a person wanted to put those benches in? .... No. In my opinion there is not enough space back there. Most people just carry a couple of lawn chairs or sit on a cooler. Its a small boat. It feels smaller the longer you stay on it...

I was skeptical initially, but after reading the article it seems plausible. A population of over 4 million people heavily dependent on personal vehicles. Let's say even if only half of that population is commuting daily to work in their single occupancy vehicles, that's wearing through 8...

KevinDU, this post is about an exceptional MAN. He would be considered an amazing human if he was Canadian as well. History is full of regrettable events that we can learn from. The events you described did not happen in a vacuum. You mentioned an estimated 300k civilian Japanese killed by US...

This is a great technical thread, thank you for sharing all this. Its a little scary for me with a 2007 with the same cabinet and cockpit floor. I believe Scott hit the nail on the head earlier. The raised cockpit floor holds water, we've all determined that. When I got our boat, there was...

That was our mistake... we have always ran the Wallace once a month or so but then the pandemic hit, and at the same time we sold our house, moved to another state and things got crazy. 6 months went by and we didn't start the Wallace. Guess what? When it finally came time to give the boat some...

I wanted to bring this thread back in case anyone trying to get their Wallace to work could use it. It’s a cold night in Florida so I thought I’d search here for a solution to our broke down Wallace 95d. Jody’s routine listed above worked, it’s off it’s apparent safe mode and the cabin is nice...

I had the same problem in our 2003 22'. Water would built up around the cockpit door and form a decent sized puddle while tied to the dock. The bilge pump would eventually turn on to prevent too much water from building but there was always enough to form that green slime. I'd keep a cheap...

I wouldn't worry too much about this task. Ive done it lots of times. The berth cushion zips off easily, and goes back on almost as easily. That plastic wrap you just try to get it on as best as you can, if its not perfect going back on you'll never know it once its back in the boat. Its the...

That happened to you too huh? Happened to me in Yelm, blocked the entire road. The straps and safety chain broke. I block that memory out it was pretty bad. There’s a pic of the disaster in my album.
