Tom, Congrats on the new boat! Finding a trailer, at reasonable cost, suitable for an SJ24 can be like the search for the Grail. Expect to pay $1500 - 3000+...
Hello All, I have a question for anyone who has a plexi fore hatch on their boat. Mine is the older style fibreglass hatch. I aquired a plexi hatch and when I...
I had the same problem with mine, from Gene Adams. I was told you need to grind the inside edge down so it will fit flush with the deck, I never did this...
I bought mine 3 years ago and have used it once to pull out our Capri 25 for the winter of 2004. It needs newer tires, brakes connected back up, a new hitch...

I have a broken acrylic hatch. What works the best? One edge triangular shape about 5 x 5 broke off. I need some kind of acylic glue? Dont feel like forking...
Yes I also love the look of the hatch on the boat, I wish my Catalina Capri 25 had that option. Our hatch is a trapizoid shape, with a curve to it, I am sure...
You might look for a plstics expert somewhere to do it for you. If you can get a sample of the same plastic you can practice first. I'm pretty sure the way to...
