Re: Source for Off-the-shelf Cover to Fit 1981 OUTRAGE V-20 with T-Top

A custom cover comes with a big cost. When I bought the boat, it had a cover [the previous owner] bought from West Marine that fit well and cost around $350; that cover is no longer available. A new custom cover [would cost about $1,350].

Source for Off-the-shelf Cover to Fit 1981 OUTRAGE V-20 with T-Top

Give me recommendations for a vendor to provide an off-the-shelf boat cover to fit my 1981 OUTRAGE V-20 with bow railings, side railings, and non-OEM T-top in southern California at a reasonable price [perhaps means about $350].

Re: 2022 150 Montauk Performance; Use as Tender Towed by Yacht

We towed our 13-footer behind our 43-footer to Catalina Island all the time. The speed at cruise was 9-nautical-miles-per-hour. [We adjusted the tow line length to put the 13-footer riding] on the first [stern] wave. The 13-footer sat there nicely atop of the first wave. We used a V-bridle to both a...

Re: Determining Unibond Hull Water Content

There was water in the hulls of old 13-footers and 17-footers I owned. I put the hulls on their trailer in my driveway for a few months in the southern California winter. I drilled holes in the lower stern and let them drip dry(ish) each year. Otherwise they lived in the water for the rest of the ye...

Re: Steering Wheel Paracord Wrap

Jim, I watched about 10 videos on it on Youtube, a simple Paracord boat steering wheel wrap search and you will find them all. This is how they all did it. Interesting question, as I took the boat out yesterday, and the only downside was that my phone charging cord got caught in it a couple of times.

Re: Folding Foot Rest for Console

Butch--the steps I bought are actually mast steps for sailboats. The can also be seen older Bertram 31 boats or similar boats where there are no ladders to the bridge. They are solidly-made and have a screw adjustment on the underside for tension on the foot rest.

Re: Practical Use Aspect of Underwater Hull or Transom Lamps

Do underwater transom-mounted lamps serve a purpose other than cosmetic? [The underwater LED lamps when illuminated are] pretty. [At night the illumination from the underwater LED lamps on my boat] attracts baitfish. When hoop-netting for lobster I try to catch fresh bait to add to the hoop nets.
