- We've been putting off replacing our Achilles 11'6" dinghy for a while, but the time has come and we couldn't wait any longer. We contacted Boat Specialists in Richmond and Eric hooked us up with a Highfield CL260. It's their smallest in the Classic Series, and it's the only one that will fit on the foredeck of our boat. We planned to use our Honda 9.9 4-stroke outboard, but after trying it once, it seems a bit on the heavy side. Luckily, Eric was able to find a 1998 Mercury 9.9 2-stroke for us which is about 30 pounds lighter. After a little maintenance, she runs like a top.

-----------------------------------
We’re Jeni and Rich. We’re really just a couple of average Joes. In a nutshell we met and married in our early 20s; I graduated from college in my late 20s; adopted two cats and a dog in the late 90s; sold a house and bought a new house in our mid 30s; then sold the new house and moved onto a sailboat in our early 40s. In between all that we had a bunch of fun like camping, scuba diving, watching hockey games (Go Red Wings!), concerts, traveling, spear fishing, restoring a 1963 Chevy II Nova; spending time with family and friends. A few years ago we decided to lay off all the fun-having to fix up this old boat. We figure if we put our noses to the grindstone for a few years, we’ll be able to travel for a few years and do all the fun things we’ve missed.
Happy to see you guys finally cruising after all these years of refitting! We still have a ways to go on our refit, but hope to join you “out there” soon. 1983 T37 Traveler.
Loving the banter!
Another great video. We are in the market for the same setup as yours. Does the dingy plane with both of you in it? Thanks!
Yes it does!
