    We look forward to seeing everyone on Yellowstone Lake this summer. Late August and early September is a wonderful time to be in Yellowstone, lots of wildlife activity. Last September we had a Grizzly in the marina and it's common for Bison to hang out there. Our boat is slipped at Bridge Bay...

    Bulkhead removal

    We had thought about opening up be bulkhead but decided to keep it for the same reason stated by others on this thread. If I had opened up the bulkhead I was going to cutout a panel that could easily be reinstalled. Maybe a slider, remove at night, slide the panel back in during the day so you...

    V-berth memory foam?

    We used the 2" Memory foam topper, we also replaced the factory foam with the softer green foam from Joan Fabrics. We used queen sized memory foam and used the factory foam as a pattern to make two halves. To have full coverage, the outside corners of the foam were glued on with spray glue...

    27 Mile Epic Swim to Safety

    Amazing story! Soon after tumbling off his Grady-White, 9 miles off the east coast of Florida last Wednesday, former Miami Dolphins fullback Rob Konrad figured he didn't have long to live. A lifelong boater, he'd taken enough safety classes to know that he had about two or three hours in frigid...

    Great Republic getting a complete restoration

    Travis, Great to see someone is redoing this boat. Laura and I had looked at this boat online when it was for sale and talked about how this would be our dream boat restoration if the timing was right. Looking forward to seeing your photos and hopefully seeing you on the water in the future...

    Simple Shower

    We have used one of everything for a solar shower at some point over the last 35 years of camping and boating. Last summer we used a sunshower stored on the roof of the boat, with a 10 foot hose and showered sitting in the motor well. Our camperback covers the motor well, it worked great...

    General kicker install question...

    M&M, A couple thoughts. If mounting on port, consider the location of the tiller and steering. It can be a tight fit with the tiller also on the port side of the motor. I had mounted our kicker on the port side because the previous owner had clamped one to the transom and there were clamp...

    Solar Panels - Connecting to Batteries - Questions?

    I recently set-up a solar panel to keep the start and house battery charged over the winter. I was tired of taking the 2 batteries in and out of the boat for winter storage every October. I use 2 Solar Charge Controllers, one for each battery and one solar panel that is connected to the the 2...

    storage cover

    Our cover also came from Angola. Well made product. If you are in snow country, be sure to get the motor cover. I did not and it was a big mistake. I ordered the fabric from Angola and made the motor cover myself. Without it, the motor well fills with snow. Kev

    Wheel of fortune fuel switch issue?

    Terry, For some reason mine primes better on the starboard tank, maybe because it's closer to the fuel line valve. I have primed it on the trailer, dropping the fuel line off the back of the transom letting it hang down low, gravity seems to help. It also primes better on a hot day or when...

    marina and camping in Florida

    Smitty, The Acosta Creek Harbor looks like a great place to hang out. Thanks for sharing. The photos remind me of the old Florida I knew as a kid fishing on the St. Johns, staying at fish camps with my dad. My great uncle was a shrimper and had a bunch of wooden boats in Tampa and Pensacola...

    May buy new CD 16

    These are a lot of boat for 16 feet. Great for 2 people. We spent many nights aboard our 16. We could actually drop the bow anchor and retrieve it from the cockpit with the set-up the previous owner had rigged. Seems like we went onto the bow pretty easy thru the v-berth. Find someone to give...
