If anyone is up for a tuna cruise about the same time, rough area, I’d be in! I know it’s not the same idea but if I’m going south for the gathering, I’ll want to try my hand at Tuna if there are some experienced well rigged fleet boats who are up for it, but we can put that discussion in a...

If money was no object a new tomcat, but if time and reliability was the goal than the 25. It’s marginal the difference but if you want to know your systems be able do the work yourself the additional pumps, double engines, dual controls all take up time to learn and maintain as they get older...

Looking good! Did you replace the sea dog breaker? Mine was tripping constantly without fully tripping the mechanism, not sure if the cause but the blue seas replacement has worked flawlessly, one scared mystery solved!

Harvey is it the receive ais function you use the most? Any tips on how you use it? I have a vhf with ais receive I’m planning to install and tie into my Lowrance. Thanks and congratulations Gary on the upgrade!

Congrats! See you on the water someday soon. Freshwater/saltwater? Cruising/fishing or all of the above plans?

Yes, when I run close to a couple hundred kms fishing in a weekend I feel like complaining then I go for a ride in my buddies Boston whaler conquest and I shut up. I think there are comparable boats out there but it is so tough to replicate and compare the benneto ANTARES 8 and others might be...

I’ve watched that Auzzi do his YouTube solo and son trips on his and have been impressed but the three year delamination turned me off combined with the premium price. There is one sitting in my buddies marina and it looks sad and neglected but like anything if you have the right engine it...

Yeah, it’s tough. Within country travel by plane is severely restricted. It’s different world for now at least

I would say no at this time. With mandatory vaccinations still being worked on for government workers I can’t see an exemption being granted yet except with ministerial approval, so unless they know Justin Trudeau and paid one of his family for a speaking engagement I wouldn’t say it is going to...

That’s pretty good economy, we get close with our 150 Honda but at a slower speed if I recall correctly. Wait for a good engine to come up and then swap. Lots of demand for used 115’s

I would recommend chartering a big boat for a week and better yet, two different big boats for a week each. My buddy had a 40+ Grand Banks? charter this summer and was looking at a 32 Riviera but backed off last week. Lots of trade offs in moving up in size. He finally decided not to go with the...

$4,800 plus tax is high. Installing it myself would be too big a job. I love our wallas and would be concerned about other cooking methods when underway, I actually do need a set of those Wallas pot retainers since I have been cooking when a pilot boat got too close. I have two kids on board so...

If there is a member with a good sense of what 22 are worth why don’t you ask them to a FaceTime walk through with you of the boat and recommend what it is worth? I have a good sense of 25s since I own one and just bought my partner out, but no idea on 22. Again, get a quote from a local tire...

Unless it is a basically new trailer I would try to trade it in on a new one, dual axle from a great trailer dealer that can do the setup and ship it with uship. Friend got his boat home 200 miles on an old dual axle but a bearing burnt up in the next 40 miles and it doesn’t have brakes and old...

I would just try discounting the boat by 5-6000 and try to sell as is. Ignore the high priced dreamers when figuring out that price, look at ones that sold of similar age and condition, options. A used motor is only worth a 3-4000 so discounting for labour and new rigging is a good idea, but I...

From my recollection C-dory’s were not built to ABYC standards until a few years ago, so let’s take the recommendations and use our best judgement on how to implement them.

What are you budgeting for your project? Victron batteries seem a little steep for my liking and I have been moving toward the the renogy dc-dc charger with mppt charging or a bluetti type generator. Thanks for the update!

Thanks @jkidd what brand and model is yours? Looks great

Looking at the St Croix 488 rotating davit for mounting one on the gunnel for lifting a dingy onto the roof. I’ve found a set of 2 for sale and would use 1. What does everyone think? Would it work? https://www.davit.com/rotating.html

I'd sure invest in a survey before thinking about going to look at it. He points to work needing to be done and the "saturation", hopefully, it is just the floor, but that could be a big job replacing. The scuppers seem to have no directional flaps and there are 4 of them or are they access...
