Capt. Scott: No pics yet but I'll get one up soon. It doesn't show well inside my shop. To me, the M-17 is not a remarkably lovely boat. Too short to be real graceful looking. There has to be a break point for how well lines can be drawn for beauty while leaving in the practical features that make a...

I thought it impossible...
I never thought it could happen - lightning striking twice in the same spot. Last year, some may remember my story of how I acquired my Chrysler 20. It was the result of a missed opportunity to land a Montgomery 17. The C-20 was on C-List, then disappeared, then I went for the Monty, but it sold bef...

Yup, air movement is the most important to keep down mildew. It likes static atmosphere and a temp between 38 and about 50 degrees best. My shop is insulated but not heated unless I fire up my old Coleman catalytic heater. With the 12 foot ceiling I have to run a fan on low to get the heat down wher...

Just wondering what measures the rest of you are taking in the face of this unseasonably early arctic blast. Here, it only dropped to the high 20's, and rarely gets colder than that.

Thank you, Veterans, for putting yourself out there - for whatever reason, be it for career planning and training or pure patriotism, or a combination of several factors. You took the risks when I did not. I just wish you all had been better served by the nation you served for. May you never be forg...

Good. No concussions, no bent aft rails. That rotational thing is cancelled by the bridles that hold the boom to center as the whole assembly tilts and the boom comes upright. It might good idea to not get used to doing this alot without them. The extra movement may be a wear factor at the step. Bri...

Outbacker - now THAT is funny ! Iron Mike, no idea, thought maybe a part number to tell them apart from the C22 lararette cover, but probably not. No markings on my fuel locker hatch. That neighbor from Tennessee knew what he was talking about. He said he only went to Texas once - to get his wife. ...

Sugary liquid won't spoil like the ham...and many people who have been stung in the lip will attest to how they like soda and beer cans. Every time I hang up a slice of ham, it disappears in about two hours. The little thugs are relentless and varacious. They never fight over the meat, though. They...

You have a boat. Therefore you shall never run out of projects.windnutlarry wrote:Thanks, I was afraid I was going to run out of projects anyway. It's all buttoned up for the winter now, but it gives me a reason to get through another Green Bay winter.

Re: C22 outboard
I read somewhere that the rule of thumb is 2hp per 1000# displacement or therabouts. The Pearson23 in the adjoining slip uses a 6hp Evinrude 2-stroke with no problem. My Yamaha weighs in at 85 lbs, and a full 6-gallon fuel tank is about 35 more. If the lighter motor and removing the galley unit doe...

Like Windnutlarry says, 9.9 gets into the heavy range. If I recall correctly, my Tohatsu Sail-Pro weighed only 37lbs. It was , in 2010, the world's lightest 4-stroke. I really miss that motor. I could easily lift it off the mount and sling it over my shoulder each time I got home from the ramp. With...

It's best to lift the prop while sailing. I will often leave the motor down while I'm sailing down the river to the bay, about 3/4 mile, just because of the traffic. But I raise it as soon as I clear the marker. With the Garelick, you can easily lift the entire motor out and then tilt it nearly hori...

My past C-22 had a Tohatsu 6hp Sail-Pro. My current C-20 has an 8hp Evinrude Yacht-Twin. Both have the extra long 25inch shaft for sailboats. For most sailboat applications of 20 feet to, say, 26feet, with boats that have no inboard engine, a 25 inch shaft is preferable. The 6hp was plenty of motor,...
