Not to put too fine a point on it but, the question was specific to an F25, thats why I chimed in, I have an F26 and offered up the "loop" input, I realize that things can and are different on "big" boats, but that wsnt the question, however, tons of great input from all. BTW, as...

Paul, I'm with you, not the swimming part, the part about straight out from sink drain. I figured it was probably a PO, that thought you needed a trap, for whatever reason. Thats the way its been on both my other boats.

Okayyyyyy, If sea water came up that far, wouldnt I have bigger problems?

Drain overboard. One question though, as I look under my sink, there is a loop in the flex pipe, creating a trap arrangement, is this necessary as it drains overboard, or is there a reason I am missing, like critters climbing in that way.

Jeff, Paul has done it right, by gluing the teak and holley to the plywood and screwing it to the cabin sole, it can be removed for inspection, any surveyor worth his salt is going to want to see the ENTIRE bilge area, keep that in mind. It's not as big a deal on our "little" boats, but, a...

You've got a single, right, I'd have to say clockwise...but I'd welcome any comments. Really the only time you'd have an engine that goes "backwards" (reverse rotation) is in a twin setup. As for heat, personally I'd avoid propane, it is heavier tha air, therefore seetles into the bilge wa...

Jeff, I have read many posts on this site as well as other places on the web about larger rudders on the 25/26, this will be my 3rd season with my'86 F26 and all I can say is, yes it is more dificult to control the boat in reverse, but with practice and planning you will bwe able to put the boat rig...

Torcan, yes and no to the plumbed in porta-potti, the regs state that in order to consume alcohol (legally) on board the head must be plumbed-in, that is, to a deck fitting, also a secured cooking device is required, bbq on back doesnt qualify. So if you dont plan on drinking on board (out of the sl...

Foofer, thanks, I'm going home to start them! That'l keep me busy for a few days.

Aaronbocknek, You got it, I have been up here for 10 years now, relocated from Hamilton, just west of Toronto. Spent the first 2 years without a boat, ouch!, Well sort of, my 30' Pacemaker Sportfisherman was still in Hamilton, on Lake Ontario(too big for the Muskoka Lakes) then I bought a 23' Chris ...

Yeah, the ones to port and stbd of the wheel, where that great mass of keys is hanging. Just wondering if you did that mod, and what the dimnsions are. As I mentioned, my boat is under a couple/3 feet of snow, so I cant climb aboard to get a good measurement.

Hey Foofer, a while back, I saw some pics of your cockpit, I think from your sales page, remember, when you had that temporary insanity? Anyway, I noticed the two panels to port and stbd just below the wheel, I love that arrangement and was wondering if you could tell me the dimensions, Cant get at ...

Great job. It's nice when an owner cares about the boat, that is usually very evident at resale time. Pride of ownership always = $. Also helps the boat sell quicker, not that any of us EVER plan on selling, right? Again great job, looks factory, only better

I've got to admit, it's not my taste, but from the pics it seems well done. Kudo's to him for expressing his bad taste!

Paul, Thanks for creating the new post, I love the look of the transom door, jst a little "gun shy" about hacking great holes in the transom, how long did the cut out take, from beginning to end? I'm trying to get up the nerve to do it, of course then I have to extend the swim platform as ...
