Thanks for the ideas! $80 Buckos buys a lot of screen and velcro!

REI has Helinox Camp Chairs at 25% off through 9/4. Applies to all styles. These are expensive but fold to a small package and are quite comfortable. They fit in the cockpit gunnel storage compartments easily.

Another question on the Bowmar Hatch is whether they still make a screen that fits over the opening. Mine is an older model (1991) and the Bowmar Hatch is a 90006390, probably about 20 inches by 20 inches. I don't find it in Bowmar online literature but haven't called them yet. Has anyone...

You may already have these, but we find that the Waggoner Cruising Guide and "The San Juan Islands-A Boaters Guide" from Blue Latitude Press (also available from Amazon) are great resources for the San Juans and Gulf Islands. There are guide books by Douglass/Hemingway and others available on...

Thanks....this is helpful. We were in last year right by where it says "A Dock". We checked in via VHF and were directed there. It was a negative tide and I (wrongfully) assumed there would be water depth in the marina. After we got docked I jumped out to tie up and was looking right at the...

This film clip "Cold Water Boot Camp" made believers out of us. We saw it at a Coast Guard Auxiliary training course. Rescue Swimmers and high caliber swimming athletes jumped into Lake Erie under safe and controlled conditions and it is alarming to see how quickly these fit swimmers lost...

I don't have personal experience but know an individual in the San Juan Islands that ran 4000 hours on a carb 90 HP on a Glacier Cat. It was still running good when he sold it. Have also heard from a Honda Dealer that 4000 hours is not unusual in well maintained commercial use where the engine...

Thanks for posting the link to the Costco Igloo Cooler! $199.99 in the store $229.99 on line Go Figure... I have an RTIC 65. I prefer the rope handles to the fixed handles on the Igloo, but there is more down pressure on the Igloo lid when closed and latched so it may seal better under some...

Costco: Igloo 70 Quart High Quality Cooler. Rotomolded. Thick walls and lid. Similar to a Yeti in design and construction but at half the price at $200.

Doug noted " when the kicker is in the up position it is turned to the port side and is cradled perfectly against the port side of transom well." We have a CD 22 with a 9.9 hp Honda on a mini jacker with Lenco tabs. It is mounted on the port side. It is the same engine essentially as the Honda...

A great idea and very nicely implemented! I like the same ride height, improved seating and more storage. Swivel seat appears to work well for this. The storage bins along the sides are a nice bonus for small item storage in space that is otherwise unused. I anticipate others may follow suit...

And a third in the For Sale section here on the site, and located in Cornet Bay on Whidbey Island.

Pat is right about Lake Powell. Get the map with the channel markers on it. And stay in the middle of the channel. Do not short cut even if it "looks deep". A good map and a good depth finder are essential for Powell. The bottom is different every day as the lake level changes daily. We have...

Pat, Jesse did a good job on our CD 22. I should have had the boat loaded and marked the water line as I didn't bring the bottom paint up quite high enough in the stern for a cruise loaded boat. The only real consequence is that I have some more elbow grease involved in cleaning the small area...

We have Petitt Vivid as recommended by Jesse of Bitterend Boatworks. Has done fine for us so far. It is a bit of a hybrid apparently. Manufacturers description below: Hybrid High Performance Multi-Season Dual Biocide Antifouling Paint Vivid is certified by Lloyds Register Hybrid...
