    Oh yeah. I waxed the arch.

    So on Friday the 5th, we get back to the dock and I go up on the bow to plug in the skore power. Coming back down the side of the boat (no walk through windshield) I grab the arch to step down the 3ft or so to the dock, like I've done a hundred times before, and find myself falling through the...

    Fall Color Cruise 2012

    Fall has always been one of my favorite times of year to be on the boat. After Labor Day there is less boat traffic, temps at night become comfortable for sleeping on the boat without the AC on, and the color change of the leaves is just beautiful. A couple of weeks ago the Admiral and I went...

    Cruisers 2870 Rogue Extended swim platform rebuild

    My 1992 Cruisers 2870 Rogue came with a good sized extended platform that the previous owner had built. It was a big selling point for me since we hang out on the back of the boat all the time. However, the rub-rail had leaked and there was significant rot in the plywood core. So this spring it...

    Forget 2 footitus. Try 10 footitus.

    As much as I loved my Wellcraft 216XL Eclipse, our boating has gotten to be more of long weekends and overnighting rather than in and out day boating. So we decided that it was time to move up to a cruiser style boat. This weekend we picked up our new to us 1992 Cruisers 2870 Rogue. Technically...

    Q? about a vented prop

    I bought a Laser II 13 3/4x23p prop off ebay for dirt cheap and when it arrived I found that it has the old style square vent holes. My question is, Is it even worth trying out on my boat? Or will I just blow it out trying to get on plane? Wellcraft Eclipse 216XL Mercruiser 7.4l with Bravo 1...
