Where the zincs are going to be most beneficial is along the ICW portion of the route where corrosion is more of a concern. The freshwater portion shouldn't be an issue, just a potential for green algae growth. We've added some disc shaped sacrificial anodes to the trim tabs, and moor along the...

I like it! That being said I see a bit more Cutwater aesthetics in this boat than previous tugs. Not a bad thing, just an observation.

A lot of people would prefer a boat with a modern fuel injected 4 stroke, including myself. Basically any other brand. That may hurt resale if you ever wanted to sell this boat. The reliability issues were in the early years of Etec. Im not sure if they were worked out by 2009. They are also...

Great article, and a miracle he survived for so long in that cold water. Thanks for sharing. We have had our own close call in Deception Pass a number of years ago. I recall the wall of water just as described in this article and pushing the bow of our c-dory straight through it, seeing nothing...

Im a big dude and jump off the roof, there's no flex or anything. Also have had over 200 lbs of shrimp pots stacked up there, before I realized its a bad idea to be that top heavy while underway :shock: The 22 cruiser is sturdy up there, I'm not sure about the other models

Honda BF130 - 150 EFI arrived in 2004 BF90 - EFI in 2007 BF40 - EFI in 2008

If you can provide proof of insurance for the boat and trailer, the tow vehicle, and a bill of sale and title transfer paperwork with a very recent date on it to the police when pulled over, they'll likely let it go. Its completely reasonable to transport and get the tag in your home state as...

This boat was for sale a few years ago and discussed here.

At least in the PNW at least a third of them are used as inexpensive weekend and vacation homes and rarely if ever leave the slip. That's what I've seen hanging around the marinas at least.

That's funny! We ended up with our first c-dory because it was the least expensive of all the boats we were interested in. We liked Skagit Orcas, SeaSports and extended cabin Parkers at the time. Have you looked at the price of other high quality boats? Im not talking about Makos and...

I ordered the vent from scan marine when I ordered some other accessories. Our boat never came with a Wallas, so I installed a used one. Its mounted directly below the on the cabinet above the door, next to the wallas switch and below the wooden trim. We have the molded fiberglass interior...

I haven't done it to my own boat yet, but I consider it an upgrade. After sleeping in there and getting soar all night from that foam mattress, its not the easiest thing for a big guy to get back out that stock opening. Im not getting any younger :teeth

I second what Harvey said. I wouldn't be afraid of 2001 bf40s at all, in fact that's a great setup. We ran that setup for years and was very satisfied. The only issues we ever had were from ethanol fuel plugging up the small carb jets. Also the water pumps would sometimes suck up a chunk of...

A/C would help sleeping in the summer months down here. I don't need it during the day, with the windows and front hatch open, I get a good breeze so its cooler than being out in the sun like open boats are. We camped on it last weekend for the last time this season, and wont attempt again...

A 50/50 bleach water solution makes those stains disappear. Spray it on, let it sit for 5 minutes and hose it off. Reapply wax afterwards.

I've seen more than one tomcat with a tuna tower. There was one Tomcat 24' that was up on the Olympic peninsula that had a really elaborate folding tower a number of years ago. These cat hulls are more laterally stable, so would be more suitable. for it

They were not all created equal. Our first 22 was a 2003, and it was so bad I would use a wad of paper towels wrapped around the fill port, and would fill using the slowest level possible on the gas pump. I would listen carefully because I could hear when the piping was getting overwhelmed with...

I enjoyed the video. That catfish was a hog. I'm fairly new to freshwater fishing down here but I'm hooked. thanks for sharing!
