The website that I posted earlier is good for comparing. you can search by HP, brand, price, etc. I had the weights posted in the search last night but now can't figure out how I got it, but here's a page by horsepower. You can click on a motor and the specs are right there. Our DF20 is short...

"The tohatsu 20 (which is also the mercury and the Nissan) is about 20 pounds lighter" Any chance you can post those weight specs?

We bought the DF20 manual start, short shaft less than two years ago for our new Ukrainian made Gala dinghy. Love both. Our version weighs 97 pounds!!! It almost always starts on the first pull and never more than two. It does have a stiff pull but always starts immediately as there is no manual...

Yes, it is more common than one might think. A few years ago, a big heavy snow pressed down my nieces Bristol sailboat below the waterline and sunk. It was on the Severn River above Annapolis, MD. Yes, Maryland!

Fort Pierce City Marina will sublet your slip while you are not in it and they keep all of the sublet $$ and credit you with none of it. You get absolutely nothing off your monthly invoice. It's not right, but they have been doing that for years.

Realistic fake snakes has worked for us. Just have to remove them in high winds and while underway.

Neither. You will find better holding with a scoop type anchor such as the Mantus, Rocna or Manson Supreme.

Go to the Knot10 website. They are a very well known broker and are a full service broker that does everything for you like any other broker. One of their offices is within walking distance of where I live aboard fulltime. I also personally know a DeFever trawler TF owner who was able to...

It's a racket. Real estate brokers need to take classes, pass exams and be licensed. Boat brokers need none of that in most cases. Knot10 Yacht Sales . com does it for 7%.
