unless you are physically unable to hand winch, i would stick with that. the simplicity and reliability of a hand winch makes it the clear winner in my book

we use our cc primarily for family cruising. two years in and havent fished once yet. me, wife, and two young daughters. we never feel separated as there is no full windshield dividing the front from the back and we can seat all 4 in the back (and another 2 with bean bags), we have enough...

ive never heard of water leaking into the bilge through trim tab screw holes, thats pretty much a non-risk. the risk with a poor installation is water getting inside the transom. pick the style that performs the way you want, install it correctly, and dont worry about it.

i have a cc now, but will definitely have a WA or express one day (hopefully in addition to my current boat)

ive never liked the dual consoles. the layout feels awkward and looks like a schoolbus with a long isle running down it thats dividing the boat in half

so, not the same boat, but i have 250s from 2006 on my Chase. obviously not quite as big of a boat, but i really am pleased with the performance of them. they push my boat to over 50 with a full tank and 6 people on board (2 are small kids). at best cruise i can get around 2.5 mpg or so. wot...

you cant tell us that without posting some pics...

north east, MD. also, plan for some time out of indian river inlet in DE

the first time i filled up after my tank job, ill tell you, it never felt so good to spend $1,000 at the pump, hahaha. hey, at least you know all that money wont leak out of the tank now

wow, the three of us are not far from eachother, im in Oxford in southern chester county

nav lights are for being seen

Atlantic Coastal Welding did mine as well

im sure that if the insurance company knew, they would not cover you. if you ever sell the boat, the surveyor would document that. by regulation, they do have to be USCG certified which does include a pressure test. maybe you could buy the material from your local tank shop, build the tank...

that looks good. id be even less worried about it since it looks like you have a lift

thats pretty cool. saving money is nice

thanks guys for the tips. i think i should have good access to the port side as i have the "pull out bin" on that side. for the starboard, i plan to remove the batteries, go down on the port side, crawl across where the batteries were and hopefully get the access i need. i will definitely...

so, should i just leave it alone? just do the hose and deck fitting? (and hose obviously)

why not just get a hand operated bilge pump?

i vote stick/spike anchor. you will never trip or bash your foot on a partially burried anchor again (at least not yours)

probably a bit far, but Argentinos out of Havre de Grace does mobile service. you may get more responses if you go on face book and ask on the Upper Chesapeake Bay Recreational Boaters page.
