Thanks! and thanks for watching! (I have many other boat shirts like that... "But did we sink?" "My boat, My rules", "Captain", "I'm gonna need a bigger boat" (this one is great to wear at a boat show for all the sales folks I run into).

@@Letsgochannelsurfing Love it - My favorite is the one you're wearing on this video - "But did we sink?" I rented a small boat for a family trip a few years ago at Sister Bay, WI - very fun, but the water was a little choppy a few times - could have used that shirt. The grand kids enjoyed it, though! Thanks again for the channel!!!

Glad it was helpful!

That's awesome to hear! I'm also glad you were able to get it installed on your C28. I remember the challenge that the new switch has 1/4" less threads and the C28 has upholstery making the dash thicker, thus the threads won't grab. The Lenco manual talks about how to calibrate for an inboard engine, so I knew it should work for an inboard. I just didn't know how effective the Autoglide would be. Good to know it's a fantastic upgrade even for the inboards.

Install is similar. The floor plan layout on the 25 is different than the 27. You would pull out the refrigerator and installing the controller using the L bracket behind the refrigerator.

Of all the upgrades I've done to Channel Surfing, the top 3 are Autoglide, Solar Power, and 320ah of Lithium Iron Phosphate house battery.

@@Letsgochannelsurfing Good to know. Thx again.

The Autoglide does recognize heavy seas and will lower the tabs to keep the bow down aiding in the ability to stay on plane at slower speeds while maintaining visibility over the bow.

The Yamaha F300 is the best stern thruster possible. I rarely use my bow thruster, actually. I drive the boat forwards and backwards quite a bit as well. The bow thruster can't overcome wind or current. But driving the boat in reverse can. A stern thruster is unnecessary with the outboard.

@@Letsgochannelsurfing thanks. I figured as much. Just curious. Any thoughts on the boat options I listed (besides the R27)? Also, what is your efficient normal cruising speed fully loaded out with provisions for a week trip with two adults? 23kts ish? GPH?

The C28 is a diesel inboard, and its WOT is around 22knots. It's very similar to that of an RT27-Ob in the way of size of boat. The cruising speed on the RT27-OB is 25 knots (WOT around 35 knots). The RT27-OB, cruising at 25 knots will burn about 18-21gph. The C30 is also a diesel inboard boat, with a 10' beam, and is quite a bit larger (and more expensive) than the RT27-OB. The RT27-Ob is faster than the C30. The Jeanneau NC895 is very similar to that of the RT27-OB. The styling is very different in my opinion. Looks like a condo on the water in my opinion. The Ranger Tugs have a more nautical look, with port holes and teak. But this is more of a personal preference. I really like the capacity of the RT27-OB. 150 gallon gas tank, 5 gallon diesel fuel tank (for heat), 40 gallon fresh water tank and a 30 gallon black water tank. That gives us up to about 10 days away from a dock.

@@Letsgochannelsurfing thank you for the feedback! I need to weigh options. This helps.

Thank you!!

I think you’re going to need the version for single actuators.
