True. What I'm trying to find out is something like an AirHead which has agitation, ventilation for aerobic activity, and uses coir or similar-- not just "separate the pee from the poo into a bucket and a jug". For the hassle, a Cleanwaste toilet would be far easier than that or a porta-potti...

Does anyone have pictures of a true composting head on a 22? I've searched and read what I could find on the forum, but haven't seen anyone successfully do it. I know they're quite tall, and wouldn't fit under the v-berth. I also saw a 22 last year on here sell with a full head inside the cabin...

I, too, would be interested in this and came here to suggest it. The Downeast Boat Forum has two for sale sections: Classifieds Boats For Sale (ie, listings managed by the poster: seller, friend, family, broker, etc) and also Found Boats For Sale (ie, members who come across listings that aren’t...

This boat also SOLD (seller confirmed "no" above, and listing elsewhere has been removed).

This boat marked as SOLD in recent posting.

I second this-- those hours to me (a serious/informed buyer presently on hold) even at 1800 are worth $0 each. Don't take that personally (especially since I've drooled over your photo albums, ha), but anything over 1,500 hours for a salt water boat in the hands of most people is only worth a...

One other consideration is the weight of the kicker-- not for the boat's transom, but for your own! I just sold a daysailer with a 2016 5hp Honda carbed 4-stroke kicker (is it still a kicker on a sailboat?) and while it was only 60 pounds, it was a lopsided 60 pounds that made it a pain in the...

I read on some forum (perhaps here) that someone had towed/rescued boats with singles, boats with twins, but never a single with a kicker (with the implication that it's up out of the water and often on its own fuel supply). So, you'll have to balance twin maneuverability with true redundancy...

Hi, Donald. I used to have a Com-Pac brand Sun Cat sailboat and when it came time to replace my scuppers, I sought advice from the Com-Pac owners group (CBrats for Com-Pacs). The consensus was that ping pong ones worked great-- the water coming up from the back pushed them closed and kept them...

I used something similar on a small trailer sailer, sold by T-H Marine who also sells the ping pong style and duck bill sock style. There are other hinged ones for purchase in stainless steel by other companies. I didn’t find the operation of the hinged version any better than the rubber...

Pros/cons to each style, whether inflatable or foam. My father prefers the Fanny pack style, which has a manual ripcord and an auto inflate feature that uses a paper wick, so after a minute or something like that it soaks through and blows itself up. Either way you now have an inflatable...

Welp, the car got a terminal diagnosis on Friday: needs total exhaust engine-back, has broken front axles and associated parts, and rear brakes: $3400 total estimate on a KBB value of $4000. Time to buy the truck and see where the boat falls into plans. Going to wait until next season for the...

Is it fair to say there's only about a dozen Marinaut 215s out there, then?

I’m waiting to replace the car until I end up with a boat, actually. It’s a 2010 Outback onto which I’ve added 150k miles on as second owner, and will be replaced with a truck. The size and type, however, is boat dependent :) So, 25 is in play, but I know it’ll likely need some love in my...

Budget increased to $50k. Was thinking 2008+ or newer, but then I read what I could find on here about the "missing" years of 2008 - 2011 during the mold fights / changing hands, so I'm back to just "a good, well-maintained" boat, in blue. 22 Cruiser, Cape Cruiser, Marinaut, 25, whatever, just...

Also open to a Cape Cruiser should one come up.

I didn’t buy the boat. But the person who did commented tonight that they did, in a “welcome to the forum/ intro” post. I’m still the seagull circling the beach for French fries. I do see now that my post could be interpreted that way; apologizes. And yes, I’m up for a trip to FL from a RI for a...

This boat has sold. (Welcome to the forum!)

Hi. Is this still available? Thank you.

Deflating the tires before entering/exiting also works for a few inches; in case someone else has the concern even with the new measurements.
