I certainly wouldnt worry about it. I think if someone comes on your boat looking to steal things, radios, fishing poles, radar, etc., would be easier targets then trying to steal gas. Tom

We had cable steering on our 16 Angler - which I replaced (thats a whole nother story in itself). Anyways when we decided to get a new 19 Angler, they were listed with hydraulic as standard, of course in 2007 that changed to having cable as standard - even had a sales guy tell me that the cable...

Ok - after one week no responces - so lets widen the criteria. Does anyone have any recomendations for a legitimate Marine Surveyor in the Tacoma/Seattle/Anacortes/Bellingham area. Thanks, Tom

Make sure though that you first go into their store and look at the product to be sure its what you want, Internet photos can be deceptive. Then go buy it on the Internet. Also talk to the folks there, pick their brains, get advice from them. Ask about how to install the product, etc. Then go...

LINK Anyone know the story on this one? Its listed at yachtworld.com as a 1971 C-Dory - inboard engine. Tom

According to David H. Pascoe, author of Mid Size Power Boats, "it takes about an hour of work for every hour of pleasure ... boat is maintained to a certain standard." This is for routine maintenance such as cleaning, interior maintenance such as housekeeping, and mechanical maintenance. My...

Does anyone have any referrals for a competent Marine Surveyor in the Seattle area? Someone you or someone you know has worked with. Thanks Tom

I have the E-Tec 90 and did go through 1 set of plugs at approx. 100 hours, but I'm pretty sure it was how I was using the engine. With the cold water here in the PNW and all the idling I was doing, the engine was not getting hot enough. Now I always run the engine wide open a bit, until I...

Beautiful day today here in the PNW. Left Everett around 9:30 am. Decided to take Dakota to Seattle and back. Arrived in Elliott bay around noon. February is the time for boating around here - no crowds, clear skies, crisp cool weather. Floated around a bit then fought the current all the way...

You should of paid for a new meter Marty, sounds like you got a "used" one :wink: . On a serious note - is that close to what you thought the engine had on it? Tom

Got the boat in the water around noon. Went out for an afternoon spin around Hat Island - just wanted to run the engine hard for a bit when the wife wasnt onboard telling me to slow down. Up to 27 knots. Stopped for a bit and dropped a fishing line to see if anything was bitting (wasn't for me.)...

Nice Story - but appears to have no basis in fact. Actually at that time we were fighting the French. 1798: July 22 - Underway and out to sea for the first time, commanded by Capt. Samuel Nicholson. 1798-1801: She cruises in the West Indies, during the "Quasi-War" with France, protecting U.S...

Glad their covering it under warranty. I think its from all the times youve run around heading out of Everett. :roll: Or maybe it has something to do with how you load the boat on the trailer, I think you violated the no wake zone last time I saw you loading your boat on the trailer. :wink...

How do you think it would run with the 50 hp engine? Seems a little small to me. Tom

Well I finally made it to the boat show today - were is everyone ? Did I get my weekends mixed up again. ... ohhh man. Anyways - I stopped by to get my Waggoner and have Bob Hale sign it. At home looking through it and there on page 152, upper left corner under the picture " A group cruise of...

Who are you again? I thought it was Tom Elliott who ran this site? Cheers, Tom

I'm sorry but I get so tired of sales people who don't even know the difference between the bow and the stern. Do they hire all these folks directly from Home Depot? At last years boat show I had someone tell me that cable steering was hydraulic, even as I was staring at it. I don't care what...

Maybe they decided to drop the 16 because customers were sawing them in half and extending them?
