Very nice install on both boats. Bill

Doesn't Yamaha make a 2400 generator that is only slightly heavier then the Honda 2000? Bill

After making several attempts at fixing the suspected leaks in my boat I took it out last week. After a day of spearfishing, getting in and out of the boat wet several times and then showering off in the cockpit I got home and found water under the cockpit floor. Combining this with No Worries...

DD you have a C-Dory built venture so yes you have a 20 gallon water tank under the port seat and a three piece interior. My boat was the first 07 built Cape Cruiser built 23. It has a three piece interior but I moved the water tank to the bow. Bill

Ohh, and the saga continues. Sorry for all the problems you guys are having. To help clarify why your bulkhead to the rear of the cabin continues all the way down to the hull. Sometime in 07 the Cape Cruiser guys changed the way the interior of the boat was made. They went from three...

Ross, I think we have different types of drain holes. Mine looks like a brass sleeve that is inserted into the hole and then each end of the tube is rounded. Actually the bilge drain hole and splash well drain holes are the same. I believe my Starboard splash well drain hole is leaking a...

Oldgrowth, that would be great. I know they started with a 3 piece interior with 20 gallon water tank on the port side. They ended up with a 1 piece interior with 30 gallon water tank in the bow. They also added the support to the cockpit floor sometime in 07 as my boat (one of the first 07...

Hi Ross, it looks like you got your photo album figured out. I just looked at your photos. It looks like when Fluid Marine built the boat they used the support beam under the deck instead of foam. That is probably a better design. Also interesting how they ran the wires out of the cabin...

I wish I could be there also. It sounds like a very interesting boat. Should be well made and well designed. Good luck to you. Bill

I don't want to hijack this thread but would like to help Tom. Don't worry about the weight forward. On my 23 Venture I removed the 20 gallon water tank under the Port seat and put a 30 gallon tank under the V berth. I was very worried about too much weight forward also. The end result is a...

Nora Lim, Just to clarify. Look at the second photo in my photo album. The material between the two layers of fiberglass is foam. It is part of the structure of the cockpit floor.

Hi DD, I see what you are talking about on the fuel filter. Those are rust marks from where I used a tool to tighten the filter. I keep the boat covered on a trailer in my backyard with the drain plug out. So I never get water sitting in my cockpit. But I do get a lot of water in the cockpit...

I have 4 trojan 6 volt deep cycle batteries. 2 as house and 2 as starting. Plenty of power to get me through 3-4 days then I need to charge them up. I have a heavy power draw with fridge, separate freezer, livewell and more. I believe the 06 115 Yamahas have a 25 amp alternator like my 07 90...

Casey, I used a circular saw for the straight cuts and a speed saw to connect the corners. My plan was to open up the whole area to dry out the foam below. My boat did not have a spar supporting the cockpit floor. I could have put my hole in the center. It appears that they started putting...

Finally put some pics in my photo album. Check them out for a better explanation. Simplicity, the second photo in my photo album will help explain what you are drilling into. If your boat was built like mine then you are drilling into the core of the cockpit floor and haven't hit the void...

4 1/2\" hole cut for deck plate between fuel tanks. On the left side you can still see moisture in the core foam. This is after several days.

Hole for deck plate to the right. Factory hole to insert foam under the cockpit floor on top. The area of the cockpit floor that I opened up hoping to dry out the core, in the center.
