Capewhaler—thank you for the information. The aluminum fuel tank measures 36 x 17 x 7-inches = 4032 cubic-inches, which is about 17.5 gallons capacity, and thus about 106-lbs of gasoline. In the bow area two batteries totaling about 100-lbs are now there. An added trolling motor is about 50-lbs. An ...

I have tried to [modify my MISCHIEF 15 to be suitable for angling for halibut in San Francisco Bay]. So far, I've: 1. fixed abrasion of the keel using the West System K-105 repair kit. (have not yet painted it red) 2. Changed engine oil, oil filter, and lower gear case lubricant on the Yamaha 60 HP ...

Q4: when people re-paint their boats, is that a good thing or ...

Moreover, I've been in the bay with an AIRE Super Lynx Inflatable kayak, and with Hobie PA 14 around th...

The gel coat condition above the water line is very good and has a shine. The gel coat below the water line is starting to come off. The hu...
