    Mercery CC replacement remote control

    I need/want a right hand control for CC. I have seen them for sale on E-bay and around. It is set up different than the SC remote controls. It looks like the CC "thing" is only Electronic. Has anyone swapped a SC to a CC remote? Is it a pretty straight forward swap? Thanks Jon

    20' tinny Bayboat

    Im on Galveston Bay. I have not seen a lot of conversation about the 20' bayboats here. Are the hull designs a lot different then the normal 2072? I can not tell but it looks like some of the bayboats are same Hull with different lay out and color. Any experience?
