From their website, the recommended price is $44,500 (not including rigging), although that may not reflect the real-world price. The installation manual for the 150/200hp suggests a 95ah battery with a cranking current of 850CCA, similar to what I would expect for a gas outboard of the same...

I'm wondering if anyone has considered, or possibly installed, an OXE diesel outboard on a C Dory 25 cruiser. The OXE outboards are definitely heavy compared to gas! According to their specs, both the 150hp and the 200hp weigh in at 350kg. But I think that some folks happily run a pair of...

Thanks for the tips so far, everyone! It sounds like barrier coat/bottom paint are in our future. Is that something that's doable for a DIYer without much experience, or is it best left to the pros with the proper equipment? We'll definitely be visiting the marinas to see what our options are...

Hi Friends! We're contemplating moving Brevity from dry stack moorage to covered in water moorage (in Ballard, so fresh/brackish water). I'd appreciate any tips, tricks, or advice on good marinas, boat setup tips, barrier coat/bottom paint, etc. What do we need to be aware of as we...

That is a really, really cool looking cruising boat. I signed up! Transom between the twin outboards could be a really nice solution to the "outboard motors ruin nice big swim platforms" problem.

For those looking to find it on Amazon, here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Halcyon-Days-Bill ... B0172VKDX8

Just one of the $30 ones you can buy at West Marine, Cabela's, REI, etc. - I have a hunch they all come from the same factory. Mine is this one, I think: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/bella-tav ... --15939788

I actually have one! We sent it to Scan Marine for its periodic service, and while it was out we fell in love with a little portable butane stove. So I'm now in possession of a Wallas stove in great condition, just serviced, that is surplus to requirements. Maybe we can work something out?

I too have one of these portable 3g/wifi hotspots (from T-mobile, 3gb for $30/month, no contract) but have had problems with reception in more remote areas. A few days ago I decided to try one of these: http://www.thewirie.com/marine-wifi-3g-product-pro.html It's a combination long range wifi...

For those who can measure fuel usage, I'm really interested in how the permatrim affects it. We travel moderately loaded, and while the extra ability to get the bow down in a chop would be nice, it would be really REALLY cool to see an extra couple points of fuel efficiency. The range...

OUCH. Sorry to hear about this issue and I hope you find a good resolution. Is $20,000 really the all-up cost for a new engine?

It was really nice to meet all you excellent folks in person! Thanks to the organizers and everyone who welcomed us, even as not-full-participators. Hope to see more of you in the future! Thanks, Will on Brevity

It is a huge relief to hear that the smart and practical folks here are using plastic tanks. The little aluminum tank is a giant pain to fill using the deck fill. Thanks all!

I love it! Can't wait until they build a few - it will be awesome to see one in real life.

Awesome, thank you!

BREVITY has a Webasto AirTop 2000s that is, in my opinion, the best accessory ever for cold weather boating. Absolutely love it. HOWEVER. The 2-ish gallon aluminum fuel tank it came with has no gauge and is very hard to fill through the deck fill. So I routinely 1) spill diesel fuel and 2) run...

williwaw, thanks for the vote of confidence in the Nordic DT. It really sounds like a more reliable stove than the earlier model. kennharriet, your propane install looks beautifully simple! Have you had any issues with survey, insurance, or ABYC compliance with the bottles mounted back in the...

Thanks for the great thoughts so far - I really appreciate it. If I do wind up going the propane route (which is tempting - we have a separate Webasto heater to keep the cabin warm) I believe that a certain amount of construction would be necessary to safely carry propane. Brevity is a 25, and...

Merry Christmas, friends! Brevity's Wallas 95du is at Scan Marine for what is turning out to be a pretty expensive service trip (needs a new main board), and I've been looking at other possible paths. Can anyone here comment on the reliability of the newer Wallas stoves (the Nordic DT and/or...

That TomCat belongs to our fellow Brat redbaronace! Nice boat, nice guy, and Everett is a nice place! Here's the album: http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album2165&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php Will in Everett
