Thanks John, Defender was the best price I was able to find on the internet also. I just booked my tickets for the SBS, so I'm going to wait and see if I can find a deal there. Otherwise it looks like Defender is the way to go, or I have a local dealer I can call tomorrow. Thanks, Bill

Swee Pea, thanks for finding the great price on the Mercury 240. I think because the Achilles is made of Hypalon I'm leaning towards it. Do you know of any great prices on it? Bob, thanks for your great info as usual. Your experience of you and your son (410 lb's) in the Bombard matches up...

The info I've found on the internet says the Mercury RU240 weights 41 pounds not 61. So weight wise it and the Achilles LT-2 look like winners. The Achilles is about 3 inches narrower inside, about the same length inside but is about $230 less than the Mercury. I'm leaning toward the...

Having a Cape Cruiser I can say that I think the molded in fiberglass interior looks good. I think they did a very nice job with the doors being recessed. The addition of the two doors to access storage on the port side is nice. But I have to say that the overall design on the ports side is...

I have to agree with the posters above. I believe the best set up is to run the microwave off an inverter so you can use it at your convenience. Then use the generator to charge your batteries back up when you want. I use a GE JE740WK microwave. It is designed to be hung and is skinnier...

It appears true. I called the factory and nobody answered. This is a real loss. Whether you are for or against CC, I think everyone would agree that competition is a good thing. Because of CC, CD has and is making many improvements to their boats. Or at least they are looking at ways to...

Very nice looking additions. It looks like someone is good with the tools! Bill

Thanks Joe, That shows it perfectly. I'll have to find someone to do that locally. Bill

Hi guys, I'm looking into adding a remote spotlight to my bow pulpit. It's not clear from these posts if the plate you guys added was welded on or store bought and bolted on. I'm hoping the latter, that sounds less expensive. Thanks, Bill

That's the best joke I've heard in a looooong time. Sounds like a true story to me. Bill

Hi Bob, Glad to hear that the RainX helped. Maybe a couple more coats would solve your problem. For me I apply two coats and it lasts about a month or two, then I need to reapply. It could be that my windows are at a different angle making the water shed faster. As Jim B. stated it also...

Hi all, I don't want to rock the boat here but would like to add some info from the other side. Having had a Cape Cruiser for 5 months now I think I can comment on the molded in liner. In my opinion it is a great improvement. The cockpit floor is always dry and flat. It makes the cockpit...

I just looked through your photo album. You have a very nice boat. Very nice modifications. Good luck with your new towing arrangement. Bill

Hi Bob, I enjoy reading about Thataway and your modifications to her. She sounds like a very impressive boat. One word of advice I have for you is to try using RainX on the front windows. I use it with great results on my pilothouse. I no longer use my wipers! Spray hits the windows and...

Thanks for your responses guys. I looked over that thread before but only payed attention to the insulation part of it. I missed the sound insulation part. I'm going to call the manufacturer and get some info. Thanks, Bill

Hi all, I know this has been discussed before but I couldn't really find an answer. I'm looking for something that can be spay or painted on to the v-berth walls and bottom to make it quieter. Hopefully something that isn't too heavy. I found this product...

Gary unfortunately I've only used my Stow N Go BBQ once. It was very windy that day but the BBQ worked fine. If anything it seamed not to get hot enough with the top open so I had to close it. I really can't give a fair evaluation untill I've used it on a normal day. After that I'll report...

JoeC, Thataway and Discovery, Take a look at Canyon Fish Bags. They make custom sizes and may be able to make custom size bags that fit into your fish boxes. The bags have drains that you may be able to connect to your fish box drains. These bags are supposed to work very well. If you guys...

Hi Jeff and Julie, Take a look at the Force 10 stow and go BBQ. It is a small size stainless BBQ that can be rail mounted or detach it, flip down four legs and it's portable! The best of both worlds. I have one on my boat and love it. The only draw back is it doesn't have and ignitor, so...

Hi Bob, thanks for the comparison. I've followed the rigging of your boat and have gained much valuable info. It's always nice to have a review before you try something. On a side note I see on your boat you have two different fuel flow gauges. Do they both have their own dedicated sending...
