I am in need of some serious advice. I am in Ketchikan, Ak and have a 2008 CD16 cruiser that is having an issue with the top layer of fiberglass on the floor delaminating. I first noticed hairline cracks where the port side seat box is glassed down to the floor several years ago. Over time it...

Slightly off topic, but the winners of the race to Alaska this year made here to Ketchikan it in 6 days, 13 hrs, 17 minutes. It was team Sail Like A Girl, an all women 8 person crew! Jackie

Hey Cap'n Jack, Leaving painted rocks (random acts of art) has become a big deal and there are several groups in your area that create the rock paintings, hide them, and hope the person who finds them will either treasure them or re-hide them. I have actually found several here in...

I mounted downriggers on my 16 cruiser last summer. You can see where I drilled the holes if you look at my photos in the album titled "bottom paint, downriggers, and something..." (Sorry, I forgot how to copy over the photos...) Anyway, I put them as far back as practical. They sort of...

Ran to Naha Bay from Ketchikan yesterday just to get out and enjoy the sun. Went in my 16 Cruiser and found a 16 Angler already tied up at the dock. It is an unusual size here so I was excited to see her. The owner was up the trail picking berries while her dog was greeting and guarding the...

Thanks for asking! Today my son and I and my two dogs headed to the Naha river and hiked up to Jordan Lake. About an 8 mile round trip of stinky salmon to roll in (the dogs), bears to chase (2 that we saw) and slippery boardwalks. But also sun, abundant berries, beautiful views and a great...

It does look like it is for the removable SS rod holder. I've been wanting to put a rod holder up around there for holding the net when I'm fishing, but don't really want a one sticking out all the time. That would be kind of a perfect mount. It's there when you need it and stored away the rest...

Good write-up, Spuncopper; I can visualize just what you did. Along with the Limpet's album, I love to peruse the modifications in Oldgrowth's album, C-Voyager. It is another 16 and has a similar anchor set up to what you describe, except he didn't make a platform within the space to hold the...

Marco Flamingo, yes, mine are sealed by the way they are installed so any water that gets in is trapped under the seam. There is a small drain hole at the back of the boxes but it is nearly 3/4 inches off the bottom so it doesn't drain them dry. Spuncopper's look the same in his picture. If I...

Spuncopper, my heart nearly stopped when I saw it and visions of the hull splitting and us sinking flitted through my head. Then my brain started working again and I realized the floor is not the bottom of the boat! The boat has been stored inside and only used ten hours in the last 8 years -...

Thanks everyone for the info on the PVC wood. I'll have to see what our one local hardware store carries, but they are good about ordering if they don't have it. I love the seat box dam, Spuncopper. Mine is open like yours was and that is what I need. But if I remove everything to add the...
