Hi all, We're planning to watch the Falcon 9 launch from Patrick AFB at Cape Canaveral this week (http://www.patrick.af.mil/)...anyone in the area interested in linking up on the water? We're planning to splash in Port Canaveral and I have the storage site for rigs, the bridge schedule, the lock sch...

All, I have a 26m with an 09' ETEC-60 on it. I typically do long trips (several days to 10 days average). I have extra water storage, fuel storage, a composting head (no pump out stops) and a refrig/freezer (no ice stops) and 200w of solar (with a generator backup). I love my 60 hp because it is ver...

Hi all, We're talking about doing a 1-3 week trip to Lake Kerr, VA/NC in the Month of July (probably starting around the July 4th weekend) if anyone is interested in getting together for an organized few days in the month of July. If you are interested, PM me and we'll start a trip thread after figu...

Hi all, We'd be happy to help anyone in the area (heavy duty truck for trailer or supply support) in the Palm Beach to Vero Beach area (we are in the middle in Jensen Beach/Ft Pierce Inlet/St Lucie Inlet/Lake Worth Inlet). We missed Mike when he came through (out of state), but maybe can help some o...

We've sailed on both lakes (more on Kerr Lake/more recently)...last time I was on SML was about ten years ago, but it was very nice! There are a lot of little coves to explore and you can get away from the crowds on both. Also, there are established sailing and racing clubs on both if you want to pa...

Mike, I'd give Dinner Key Marina a call and see what they can work out with you. It's in south central Miami, good resources nearby, next to city hall (we've never had a security problem there), lots of slips and 2x mooring fields on approach. I think it would meet your needs if you could get a mont...

Another possibility on the leaks would be where the rudder lines come down thru the rear of the boat. Based on the location of the water...that would be my guess (which can be easily modified to fix...see mods page).

Good luck...agree with the previous post...check it all out before you buy.

Big thank you to Sailor Dale for the pics (pm'd) and kadet for the link.

Here is the final result...hope it helps someone else!

Sailor Dale,

That's the setup I am contemplating...I'd love to see your pics if you can figure it out or get moderator help to post them?

Thanks!

Thanks kadet!

Appreciate the help!

Fair winds,

The C-Head is one of 3 main composting heads made by a former special forces medic here in FL. It is about 1/2 the price of the other two major brands and field repairable using basic materials. Sandy Graves, the designer/manufacturer, made a modified version specifically for the 26m (and adaptable ...

Could always list it and see...mine was in good shape (garage kept) and was an 09'. I will say from towing the family (and their stuff)...confidence in the trailer is huge....good luck my friend!

Ed,

I sold my "old" stock trailer for $1800...so my new, custom only cost $2700 net...maybe you could sell your trailer...and offset? Just an idea...made my new trailer (knowing I would be going long distance) a sure thing.

I had an aluminum trailer custom built for my 26m. The manufacturer made many 26x trailers previously for a dealer previously listed on this site out of Texas I believe. My 26m caused them to have to develop new templates, but it is a quality trailer (aprx $4500) with submersible led's and nice goal...
