Re: Ebay Cape Dories: Carefull, one is 51 inches long!

Item 2049167914 is 51 inches long and designed to hold seafood at a raw bar. It doesn't look to be an Alberg design.

Don't modify your well on the CD25

DANGER! A Lesson to be Learned Here

Post by Jon »

<B>DO NOT</B> cut the motor well to accomodate a motor that won't fit. This boat was lost because of such a cut. Be very careful when you make modifications. The other side of that glass leads to the inside of the boat - the side we do our best to keep the ocean out of.

The boat was damaged in the salvage, and the new Honda motor is now sea junk. Hopefully no one was injured in this event.

Re: Is the cut in that motor well repairable?

Post by Ed »

Would it be possible to repair the damage to that motor well and how difficult would it be to repair the damage to the mast step?

Man, what a shame. A 15 HP 4-stroke Honda. I don't think the new 8HP hondas fit in the well, nevermind a 15. I would think the well/fixture could be sealed off, but no telling how much damage has already been done. The engine is probably shot, but in any case it's too big for a 25
