a few 16' questions

Hello

I just bought Gizmo a 16' cruiser from Steve in Lake Tahoe. We took it out on Lake Shasta and got it up to 24 knots. He had a 11 5/8X11 prop in it due to the higher altitude.
We took her out on Lake Stevens and 20 knots was top speed. I put on a spare one that he had its a 10 1/4 X14.

She has a Yamaha 50 hp. What are your thoughts on the size?
We are planning on going to Indian Island this weekend two adults and two small kids.

While I got you here I noticed that the bilge pump does not have a float on it. Should this be a concern?

Last one, is it possible to get the letter "e" in the c-dory font? My last name is Dore. Thought it would be fun to do.

Thanks in advance

Steve
 
Steve – I believe the bilge pumps used on the 16 cycles at a predetermined interval and if it senses water, it will pump until it no longer senses water. With this type of pump, no float is necessary.

As to the C-Dory font, check with a lettering or graphics shop. Anything is possible.

Welcome aboard and you have a great little boat. Hope to cross wakes with you someday.

If you get a chance come up to the Friday Harbor CBGT this weekend. I am going by boat from Olympia and will be passing the Seattle area late Friday morning.

Steve-Welcome to the wonderful world of 16 footerdom. Forget about the prop for now, that's for later. Just dump her in the water and follow Oldgrowth Dave to the C-Brats this weekend. If his 16 footer appears longer than yours, it's just an illusion. Again, welcome. :shock:
 
Dave if you're going up the Swinomish stop by and the beer is on me. :beer We should be able to find a spot for a couple of hours.

PS Watch the West side of the channel on lows :smileo

Capn Jack – can I have a rain check on that until next weekend. I will be going through there for the Anacortes gathering next Friday.

I am going to miss the Friday Harbor gathering. I have some acreage SW of Olympia next to Capitol Forest and gave a permit to a friend for some Maple on it. The access to it is through a neighbors property and they locked the gate, so I will have to go there in the morning and cut the lock, then will have to deal with them that afternoon. I was told I would have trouble with them when I bought the property.

It will be too nice of a weekend not to go out in the boat. Terri is not feeling too well, so I will get Ben Toland and we will go out Saturday. May make it as far north as Seattle.
