Re: Best Model for Complex Circumstances

EFFECT OF LENGTH ON SAFETY For the sorts of uses mentioned in the initial request, the hull length is more a factor in riding comfort and capacity rather than a safety factor. 18 to 19-FOOTERS You might consider getting a hull of 18-feet to 19-feet length. Those hulls could carry lots of people, and...

A Personal Angst About Evaporative Emissions From Gasoline Fuel Tanks

I have a dilemma about buying a fuel tank. Should I: ⋅ buy a less expensive fuel tank [which I consider is not good for the environment], or ⋅ buy [a more expensive fuel tank that I consider is] better for the environment [than the cheaper fuel tank]. As I understand it, the new ...

Thoughts About Older Boston Whaler Boats and Value

In the past I have I always wondered if the factory would like to buy-back a rare MISCHIEF 15 when they build their Boston Whaler Museum, but probably no. They're too fixated today on building even bigger fair-weather cocktail cruisers. If we study the strange and rare models of Boston Whaler boats ...

Re: Appraisal: 1989 MISCHIEF 15

Hello, capewhalers--I am also located in Maine and owned one of these rare red Mischief models for several years. Because the model shares the excellent 15-foot Sport hull from the rub rail down, I enjoyed it immensely and used it mostly in coastal waters. Mine had a Evinrude 65-HP not-too-old engin...

Re: Repair Rivet Fastener Holes in 1997 MONTAUK Rub Railing

If the original specified fasteners work fine, why change them? When the bow rail base screws get loose, don't substitute a larger screw. Fill the hole with epoxy with a little thickener and some glass fibers, re-drill the hole, and refasten. Take the opportunity to reseal the holes with 3M5200 adhe...

Garmin Data Card, SE Florida--Not G2, Free

This card was in the Garmin GPSMAP 188C that came with our 1985 Montauk. This first generation BLUECHART will fit many of the earlier Garmin GPSMAP units with data cards, until about 2012, I think. This one is dated April 2002 and is for Southeast Florida. Not much help to me here and I'll probably ...

Machine shops are a wonderful thing but not everyone has one or knows how to use one. I would be happy to make some at cost for our co...
