[quote=onekiwi]This is what we did for the Catalina trip,cheap and cheerful but pretty strong.I used an epoxy coated 2x6 laid across the rear and held on with modified J bolts.We used a 2 1/2 hp 4 stroke motor.I did um and ah about taking the motor but in the end it was the right decision as it took 4 hours to get over compared to 11 for the guys without a motor.Never any chance of capsize as there was very little wind.When we do this trip again in the summer we may decide not to take a motor as the winds are way more predictable.One of the highlights of the trip was seeing what we believe were blue whales breaching aft of us on the return trip!
