I would go ahead and change the engine oil, lower unit gear oil, and change the impeller. I just did it on my Honda 90 last weekend and its all a pretty quick job. Use a ratchet strap for putting the lower unit back on if your doing it by yourself. That was the trick for me, as it's heavy and I...

Order the exhaust hose a foot longer than the factory uses. You need a good upward loop to keep water out if you mount the thru hull like the factory does.

Unless your motors are shot I wouldn't repower. Those Hondas were great motors. If they're getting towards the end of their life that makes sense. I've spent time on a 23 with twin Yamaha 60s and it had plenty of power. Not sure it would be a whole lot different with Honda 50s. If you're...

Yes!! Nobody in their right mind wants to change twice the waterpumps and have twice the oil changes! :lol:

This conversation is totally relevant to a boating forum. I'd like to suggest using Facebook to alienate yourself from friends and family like most other boomers and leave politics off c-brats. :thup

I'm curious about this one. Online reviews say its much louder than a traditional AC unit. What is it that you like about it. I do like the idea of a portable unit. Talk me out of cutting a hole in my roof, because i'm leaning towards the rooftop unit. BTW, it looks like we're neighbors. Come...

Wow we used to spend all summer out there. Is it really being overfished? I never remember it closing this early in 7 west. How disappointing. Before we left in 2016 shrimping had become a pretty big deal, growing exponentially every year. This may have been a long time coming. The problem I...

I don't believe C-dory ever included a live well as an option. So your live well is an aftermarket item and the associated hoses, thru hull fittings, pump etc., is all aftermarket stuff. Most live well's have raw water continuously flowing through them to keep the bait fresh, requiring a...

I would be concerned. I would want to take a closer look at this inside transom before making a decision. Well I don't think I've ever inspected an 1993 specifically, there shouldn't be bare plywood in the bilge area like is shown in your picture. My guess is it may be someones attempt at...

I'm late to the party but I should have suggested Jekyll Island marina on the ICW as opposed to Brunswick. Jekyll is a very nice facility, they have courtesy golf carts and beach cruiser bikes, a hot tub, a restaurant and bar. Its also a pretty good base camp for exploring Jekyll beaches and all...

Wire transfer is the way to go. You get instructions in advance and set it up with your bank. Then when I'm with and seller the boat, and have inspected the titles and feel confident in the deal I call the bank and release the funds. Then there's a waiting period, but its usually less than an...

I've made a habit of stopping by the grocery store on my way home almost daily. Due to the virus, I've learned to plan for a week or so of cooking. That's a big deal for me! I was also hoping I might loose a few pounds from not eating out, but so far that hasn't happened. :lol:

I've seen this boat before, on craigslist some time ago. Looks like a great deal if its legit sale.

Ours has stayed in for a few months at a time. Never been an issue aside from bottom growth that needs addressing. The first thing I did before mooring was properly seat all the below waterline fasteners. I removed the trim tabs, transducer, everything that's screwed into the hull below the...

Our lewmar windless is a single handed operation from the helm. We run a 22 lb bruce claw and 15 feet of chain. The splice from chain to rode sometimes gets stuck when retrieving the anchor. Toggling back and forth on the switch a few times usually gets it past the splice and on the rest of it's...

We bought our first house and our first c-dory in the aftermath of the great recession around 2011. We got a screaming good deal on the foreclosed house we picked up and flipped thanks to the economy being in the tank. The c-dory cost about the same as they do now on the used market. So I've...

We've taken water into the cockpit twice. The first time coming into Deception pass on an very rough day combined with the wrong tide, took a pretty nasty wall of water over the bow and cabin. Enough water back there to take notice. The second time when a gale kicked up on one of the short...

Its probably cheaper and easier to just sell the standard top boat and buy a high top.

The shape of the hull was arguably an improvement. The increase in deadrise and chines make the later boats handle a bit better in certain conditions. The transom is different, mostly the motor well and aft lazerette hatches. Any big difference inside the cabin probably don't matter too much...

I'm just surprised in Washington I can still run over to the local bikini coffee stand for a peep show, afterwards grab a Big mac meal at the Mickey Dees and some legal weed from the weed stores because all that is obviously "essential". But all my friends who work in the trades, my plumber...
