Harvey, I'm sure I do have some pics, but I'm really going to have to do some digging to find them. I'll get after it and see what I can come up with.

In the early 90's when the C-Dory plant was on old Hwy. 99 they offered as a standard item out of the factory 3 different smaller boats, 2 were of the same style as the one pictured here and the other was a 16' Yukon Rowing Skiff. Best I can recall the 16' was about 43" wide or so at it's...

I can't speak to the Tacoma or Nissan with personal knowledge. I have a 2010 Tundra 4x4 double cab with the 5.7 ltr. engine, which I pull my 22 CD with and it does the job extremely well. I am of the ilk that i would rather be over gunned than under gunned. Highly debatable issue, but...

2010 Toyota Tundra, double cab, 5.8 V8, @ 60 mph. This year I actually checked the mileage on a couple of my 365 mile runs from Fairbanks to Valdez Towing 22 CD (full tanks) & gear = 12.2 mpg, Truck only = 20.93 mpg (have roll top tonneau cover on truck bed) Must have had...

I agree, Ace Line Hauler is a terrific company and is very customer friendly and accommodating. It's a pleasure to be able to buy a great product with the confidence that any problems which might arise would be quickly dealt with by the manufacturer. Plus, they appear to continue to make...

Steve, had a great bit of advice when he suggested tying the Ace pot puller off to a cleat, to which I can personally attest. I went to pull my shrimp traps one bumpy and windy day, put the puller in it's mounting block well in advance of reaching the traps, because of the bumpy water. Had...

Right on Tom. Unfortunately, layers of bureaucracy are the fashion of our times, multiplied several X over by governmental largess. In other words, the quality of the outhouse is secondary to the amount of crap that encompasses it. But what do we know, we've only got 114 years of residency...

Jim's, big objection, and rightfully so, was taking on a boarding party in the middle of the river. These river can be pretty nasty and wanting to go to the bank with the boat rather than a dangerous boarding make a hell'uva lot of good sense to me. I would do the same thing. Jim is a...

The crux of the "enforcement" issue is ownership and/or control of the navigable waters in the State of Alaska. A lower court judge, years ago, sided with the Feds. That decision was appealed and the higher court came down on the side of the State, so it's clear that the State of Alaska...

Quality Marine Products.com has a great lineup of flushing bags. Good workmanship, reasonable, and great service. I have one for the kicker and one for the 90 hp with the Permatrim. ( quallitymarineproducts.com ), if anyone wants to look them over. I found that the DPB-2 works great for...

No shortage of ideas out there. Regardless of color choice the Marinaut is going to look great at the show. As a personal preference I would opt for the white or light interior for the feeling of roominess and accented with teak trim, tan non-skid would be a nice touch and distinguish...

Easy and safe solution for launching a boat with a roller trailer is to use a substantial SS Snap Shackle. I leave the winch strap tight and the safety chain on as well as the snap shackle to the bow eye. Back down the ramp to launch position, remove the safety chain, slowly back off the...

Given an option, and options are almost always available. Tandem is the only way to go. On one of my runs to Valdez from Fairbanks a few years back I had occasion to really appreciate the tandem. I periodically stop to check things and did so about 80 miles from Valdez. I then ran...

OK, I can say without fear of contradiction that the bow rail on my 2004 Cruiser is 1", which suggests a high probability that yours is as well. I just confirmed the above with my dial caliper.

Tom, check with Skyline Marine in Anacortes. They were selling a product that was supposed to put a permanent shine on fiberglass boats. They would either sell you the product for you to apply of they would do the whole treatment for you. The directions for applying it were pretty specific...

Hey, Les and Kathy, congratulations on the "factory" build for the Marinaut at EQ. Looking forward to seeing a long and prosperous venture. Mark

Marinaut and EQ Marine has to be a clear winner for NW boaters. Meshing an exceptional boat with the premier dealer and rigger in the industry is clearly a winner for everyone.

Size definitely matters. I would go with the Bennett's M120's if I were doing again......probably, but I chose the Lenco's primarily due to the simplicity of install with the electric and not having to deal with the hydraulic lines, etc. (fewer hole syndrome) I like many others found the...

No brainer here. Buy the Bennett M120's & eliminate any possibility of buyers remorse. Keep it simple.

I have the Lenco's and they are a little small size wise and coupled with the shorter stroke they fall short of the efficiency that the M120's offer. I put wings on my Lenco's with turned down edges to give more surface and channel the water. The increase in efficiency was very significant...
