    13 ft Heavy Duty Kaboat

    Below is link to the Garhauer Lifting Davit. We have one and are very happy with it. Thataway has many installation tips posted and photos in his album. We lift an 8 foot hypalon dinghy with my wife pulling the line while I am on the bow. They will make the mast in a specific height to meet...

    Introduction + PNW advice

    I have had EQ Harbor Service and Sales do quite a bit of work for me. I have been very satisfied and feel they have done a good job and stand behind their work. Electronics, auto pilot, batteries, mechanical maintenance on both motors, trim tabs, trailer maintenance etc. They are in Oak Harbor...

    1st use of composting toilet. Not sure I'll keep it.

    robhwa wrote " Conclusion: If the system is smelling really bad, it is anaerobic, and the answer is adding more fiber and mixing to increase aeration." That is our experience as well. It can be overwhelmed. More input needs more mixing. Don't let it get too wet in the tank as that precludes...

    Latest Waggoner Cruising Guide

    I can't say for sure, but that looks like our 22 Swan C when we went on a Flotilla trip to Desolation Sound. Mike Beemer led the trip. We did stern tie in that spot, as many others have, but I don't recall any drones taking photos.

    Venture 26 / 25 Cruiser kicker for hull speed +

    I will share our kicker experience for the mix. We had a 9.9 on our 22. Lost the main 90 hp due to a failed thermostat housing just outside of Dodd Narrows. Managed to get through Dodd at slack to have the 90 looked at. We were on the way to Desolation Sound. Turns out the motor was not...

    Spare Anchor Stowage

    We carry a spare Manson with 25 ft of chain and 150 ft of line in the storage under the V Berth. Figured that if we were on a cruise in Canada and fouled or otherwise lost an anchor that we could not retrieve that we would at least have enough to complete the trip or continue until we found a...

    Boat Covers

    I contacted Angola for a cover in the fall and had great communications with someone named Robert. Send photos and the measurements he asked for then all communications from Angola stopped. Phone calls or emails were not responded too. After several phone messages I received an email from...

    tow vehicle

    Just saw this thread and thought I would throw in my 2 cents, confirming what many others have already said. We just pulled a 22 from Anacortes to Colorado Springs with a 2014 Highlander, which is rated to tow 5000 lbs. I added a trans cooler and air bags in the rear coils. 3.5L V6. 268 hp at...

    Moving to Colorado

    You mentioned re powering in the future. Be sure to visit with Jay of Hunky Dory who has replied to your thread here about powering with twin 60 hp. Others have gone to the newer design single Honda 100 HP or 115HP. Many options with different engines for a bit more HP to make up for what...

    Moving to Colorado

    Welcome to Colorado! While the fishing is not like the Great Lakes it is a fun place to spend time and the 22 can be easily trailered to many locations. Lake Powell has already been mentioned. Blue Mesa Reservoir near Gunnison CO has great fishing including some very large Lake Trout. There is...

    BF 90 Lower Unit Available

    I lost the powerhead on my 2011 BF 90 last year due to a cracked thermostat housing. I have replaced the engine with a new one but have the lower unit available should anyone need one. It has about 450 hours on it and has been professionally serviced annually. It is pre drilled for a Perma...

    Norcold Fridge Available

    I removed a Norcold DE 0051 Fridge from a C Dory 25. It is the "standard" fridge installed by the factory in 2006. The boat only has about 175 hours on it so the fridge has seen very little use. It works fine but I replaced it with a small freezer. It is available and located near Anacortes WA...

    CD 14 Angler in Seattle

    Seems like these are few and far between. A bit small for me but might be great fun for someone. One can get a good 16 for less $ if patient. I saw one of these on board a large trawler as their dinghy in the San Juans a few years ago. https://tinyurl.com/yxg9chwr
