    What is the most efficient cruising speed?

    I just checked my Mercury vessel view (bluetooth gateway to motor data) screenshots from my 22 w/ new Mercury 115, 4 blade nemisis 15P and the higher RPM numbers are almost identical. However, it looks like my peak planing-speed MPG was in a different spot. I confirmed across several logs that...

    Yamaha's Alternate Charging System

    Colby, You can see in the schematic above, and confirmed by schematics I found with a quick google that the source is the same for both the "alternate" and the primary charging lead - The Stator. The stator (pictured in individual phases) is driving both the alternate/auxiliary charging and...

    Anyone Look at the 22 Cruiser for Sale in New Bern NC?

    I am of no help on this boat, but I saw the ad for the 2006 listed in Wilmington and noticed it looked like a really nice, really original package. The only real modification I see is a radio. On a nice trailer.

    REPLACING ORIGINAL HELM SEAT ?

    URL didn't work but I looked at your photos. I used the Tempress NaviStyle High Back Seat on my 95 22 cruiser. This seat is similar to the Basspro seat you posted a photo of. I found it to be a good compromise. However, most of these types of seats are much taller than the stock seat even...

    Removed extra start battery. Replaced FLA house with Lithium

    This should not be a concern if you are using a configurable DC-DC charger. It does however add to the cost of using a LiFePO4 battery.

    Removed extra start battery. Replaced FLA house with Lithium

    What is the current draw/charging rate of the house battery when drained down? Since you have an app/built in shunt, I assume you have some numbers. I tried to use a similar ACR with a similar setup and did not feel comfortable with the load on the outboard's charging system and how often the...

    Seeking 25 in Washington State

    Still looking. I keep seeing posts about deals that fall through because of financing - Cash buyer.

    Repower Time

    From the numbers shared elsewhere almost no difference in top speed for the 115 vs 140 given the same conditions/similar propping. 34 MPH is the highest number I see anyone consistently report.

    new DC/DC battery charger from Victron Energy

    Thanks for sharing this, just yesterday I was looking around at what is available now in DC-DC; I somehow missed this. I use the Renogy DC-DC 20 amp which has configurable charging profiles at less than 1/3rd the price. The Renogy line is not infinitely configurable, but it is configurable with...

    How to replace slant-back cockpit cover

    This is one of the easier large-scale canvas projects you can do yourself. I love Sailrite, but there are less expensive sources and methods for almost everything they sell. The easiest way to get a snap installed in fabric where it needs to be is to hold it where it needs to go with spring...

    Seeking 25 in Washington State

    Serious about moving up to a 25 based on recent sales here and on Marketplace. I have no requirements on year, equipment, etc. as long as it has a trailer. Projects OK, high hours OK, but I'd also be happy to pay what a perfect boat is worth. Specifically looking in Washington State...

    Big 'ole cooler to double as bench seat?

    What you are describing is what we do when we have passengers. Because we were in a time-crunch, we used coolers that had an affordable readily available snap-on cushion: The older Igloo Marine Ultra 54 (it was updated recently it looks like.) I wanted to put them against the aft end of the...

    Vevor diesel heater

    I thought the same thing, and had nothing but problems with my Lavaner and wound up pulling it out and putting it in the trash in about a week. Wasted a huge amount of time on it. Right out of the box it would pull more amps than the wiring and fuse could handle, once I figured that out, I had...

    22 Cruiser Enclosure Advice

    I'm not a pro, but I have done a fair bit of canvas and I can see the shop's perspective. I do think you should talk to another shop! Tiny changes/differences in where the bimini is held and how it is tensioned will project out to big differences in where your camper sides attach to the...

    Question about buying a C–Dory

    My experience watching for a few years: A nice 16 is typically $13-16k for private sales. $16k at a dealer for a nice boat sounds right. If you think that's too much, the boat will sit and you'll have better luck with a lower offer in the future. You're in WA so you can watch seattle-area CL...

    Another Nameplate Rating Discussion for the 22' cruiser

    It sounds like a typical 22 cruiser. If you have the typical mini-jacker installed for the kicker, I would have no concerns about weight and strength. My advice is to focus your research on what the sticker "means" and the history of the sticker on the C-Dory 22 rather than the weight of each...

    22 Cruiser on ebay

    If you look at the Seller's history, they are a boat dealer with a history of ghosting buyers it looks like. Seems like a gamble to buy sight unseen - Well bought at $25.7k I'd say.

    This one got away!

    I'm 99% sure this boat was posted months ago with very different photos. It was covered with mold inside and out and showed signs that water had been sitting in the cabin and cockpit for a long time. The bottom half of the door was rotten away, which is conspicuously out of frame in the photos...

    Need help increasing tongue weight!

    You must have a very different trailer design. I did have to adjust the position of my jack, but no other changes were needed. I moved mine about 8 inches but had room to move further. I did it in my driveway, which slopes slightly in the direction I needed to move the boat (lowering the tongue...
