I just want to clarify some misconceptions about the Honda 2HP, because there is some info on this forum that suggests that it is expensive and can't be layed on it's side for transportation, which almost made me go the electric route initially.
You can lay it on it's side in the back of the...
I definitely wouldn't trade my 27-pound Honda 2HP 4-stroke motor for a lead acid battery, electric motor, cables, and necessity to charge. WAY too much clutter/weight/modification/and work.
I hear what others are saying about the price being too high, but its time and effort vs. money when you are shopping out-of-state for a better deal. How much is it going to cost you to drive to California and back? How long is that going to take you. Maybe it's worth $500 more to have it...
The jib wasn't fouled in such a way that I couldn't have just pulled the roller furler line and just pulled it in out of the way -- I was just being stupid! I can reach it easily with the tiller extension, and it only takes one hand to do, whereas untying a line takes 2 hands usually.

I went to 50 lbs and didn't notice a difference in trailer handling, but the contact patch is definitely smaller. The tire is fairly rounded and it's only using about 50% of the width of the tire now.

I was out...
I was wondering that myself but I don't think so. I think it was run out of this place:

I went out there and they have 5 to 7 Capri 14.2's in various states of repair. You can rent them for $22 / hr. I rented one before I bought mine to make sure I would...
The tires on my trailer list the weight limit at 60 PSI. When I got the boat the tires were inflated to about 30 PSI and everything seemed fine when trailering. I now run at 40 PSI but I've seen other posts where people mention 50 and 60. Seems like that would make for a rougher ride back...
I was wondering how you mount your windex with that setup? I was originally going to go that way but ended up ordering mast floats from APS because of the windex issue. Has anyone solved that issue?
