The Cape Dory Board

Does anyone have experience with the two versions of the Makrolon (Tuffak) polycarbonate dodger glass? I am having a new dodger built and wonder if the Makrolon VR, which is more flexible, has sufficient UV and abrasion resistance compared to the heavier AR which does.

I am in search of a transom mounted ladder for my CD27. Anyone out there have one to sell? Thanks much. Tom

Almost done with the repower. Had to drill new hru hull on starboard for raw water. Now wrestling with muffler location

1981 Yanmar YSM8 for sale. Was in fresh water all but the last 4 years, but spent about 8 years in Scotia in a warehouse before I bought her (i.e. low hours). The engine suffered a “run-away” and is very fixable according to my marina. Otherwise, ran great and reliable. Good for a slight rebuild/rep...

Update. Scotia’s new Beta 14 coming soon. Boat yard decided to ise white oak to fair the forward mounting stingers to fit the Beta, rather than custom brackets to fit the weird high stern mounts situation that fit my Yanmar. Saves a boatload of money and time. Any opinions out there about this? Many...

Fred what did you do about the brackets for the engine mounts?

I am removing my YSM8 from Scotia and repowering over the winter with a Beta 14. My contriol panel and housing could be available. It is countersunk into the cockpit starboard bulkhead, aft. No tach.
