The young man I sold my CD16 to did that mod. It turned out well… he sent me a picture, but I can't post them here. Anyways, it can be done! John

Just to let everyone know it has been sold and is going to a new home in NC. Thanks, everyone! John Pond

No worries! Any questions, ask away…

For those of you wanting to see pictures, here is the Craigslist posting with pictures: https://sacramento.craigslist.org/boa/d ... 94791.html Thanks for the interest! John

Up for sale is my 1992 C-Dory 16’ Cruiser, powered by a 2004 Mercury 60 oil-injected 2-stroke. It is in really great condition and has been a fabulous boat. The Pacific galvanized trailer was properly rewired with LED lights and is rock solid. The guide boards were replaced with plastic lumber...

I have a 16' Cruiser that will be for sale soon. You can have a look while I'm cleaning, if you like. Cheers! John Yes, I'm in the Sacramento area.

I like this idea! I have a home on Nelson Island; I'll try and time my summer trip so that I am there and can pop over! John

The name of my boat says it all. :D John Mas Que NADA

Or just relocate the batteries to under the v-berth like I did. :thup John

I went out and looked, and it just didn't seem possible! Then I looked at your photo again, and I realized I have fiberglass hull liner and foam where the right side of your tank is… if I cut that away, I'd have plenty of room. Hmmm...

Thanks, Marty, that is a help. When I look at those Moeller tanks I see the fill rises up 2.75", and I couldn't see how you would get room… it looks like the fill is so far over to the right that there is a straight (more or less) shot to the fill on the tank. Maybe I need to make one out of...

Any chance you could post a picture of the tanks and installation? I would love to have two 12s! Cheers! John

Marty, Do you have a picture that shows the top of the tank? I'd sure like to see how they did the fuel fill. Two of those would be perfect in my boat! Thanks, John

I was also looking to do this. I relocated my batteries forward, so I wanted to install a tank on each side of the depression with the bilge pump. Couldn't find a suitably shaped tank, so I ended up with just a couple of six gallon Tempos. If anyone can find something that fits in that space...

Just received my beautiful burgee today. Many thanks to Da Nag for a job well done! :cocktail Cheers! John

Ya done been PayPal'd! Thanks!

A kind person pointed out that my message might be construed to recommend a shotgun as bear defense. It was meant to discourage the notion of buckshot as effective. The best choice for defense is situational awareness; weapons if necessary should be whatever you are comfortable and practiced...

I'm all with the spirit of this, but in case anyone is taking this seriously… A 12-gauge shotgun can be an adequate defense weapon against Alaskan bears, but only if loaded with slugs. Shot will at best momentarily annoy the bear. Since, in most people's mind the advantage of a shotgun is that...

Yes, please! I would love one. Thanks! John

I have to say this depends on what you're towing. For my 16' C-dory, 10% of 1,800 lbs is fine (180 lbs). For my 28' Bertram on its triple-axle trailer (17,500 lbs), 1,750 lbs is not OK. The CG of the trailer loaded is just slightly in front of the middle axle, resulting in a tongue weight of...
