Mike needs a new boat

Great idea. awesome execution. Can't wait to see it finished.

Here’s the cushions on one side with the table up and with the table down. The two cushions from the other side of the dinette fill out the berth. Keith Note the sawdust on the cushions and sole. I like what you did there, Keith. I was looking at removing that water tank and making a storage place ...

She's beautiful.

Nice work Jim. I never would have thought of the corkscrew.

Very nice! I had a MacGregor 26s that was easily trailerable and had a mast lowering system. The biggest issue was making sure the base didn't kick out and that the mast didn't start to lean to one side or the other. I wonder if the mast on a CD30 is too heavy for something like this. I really need ...

Godspeed.

You're going to love it. Congratulations.

John, I agree that there is more than enough in the small package to do two propellers. I just did a 3-blade 13" Campbell Sailer. I separated the two part mixture, by volume, prior to mixing with the hope of being able to save 1/2 of it for my next haul out. Using only 1/2 of the mixture, I eas...

I'm trying Propspeed for the first time this season. I can tell you that in the first 2 summer months in Florida that I had it on, there was no growth. I'll know better after next season, but i have read good things about it.

Yes.

I wanted to update this post now that I have the situation all sorted out. I've learned a lot in the process, mainly to always slow down, stop and think when things aren't working out well. Not that I didn't know that already, but many times I get in a rush especially when I am in uncomfortable situ...

I replaced the hatch lenses on both of my Bomar hatches. They came out perfectly and don't leak a drop. I could not be happier and the price was really affordable. I also replaced the gasket using material from McMaster Carr. The only issue I have with them now is the arm risers. They are aluminum a...

Sharp looking boat, Keith. Glad the electric motor is working well for you.
