We had a WaveStopper dodger on Rouser. We felt that it was excellent, excellent, excellent.

Eric/Rouser.....Thanks for your response. The aluminum tracks that the removable panels slide into....how well do they hold up in salt conditions? Also, what was the cost of this set up?
The red dinghy on your fordeck looks like the one I just built. Was yours factory built or stitch and glue? Mine is a Dudley Dix design. Rows and motors great, plus very stable for a hard dink. Tom

Hi Tom,

The aluminum frames seemed to hold up fine. There was no apparent corrosion from the salt air/water, and it was well insulated from any stainless steel fasteners.

I don't know the cost. The dodger was installed by the previous owner just before he sold it to us.

The red dinghy was purchased in 1987 at the Annapolis Boat Show from a small builder in New England. It is called a Puddle Duck. It is great, but has now been sitting in our garage for a few years awaiting a full refurbishment... We used a Narwhal RIB on our Pacific Voyage.

Be well,
Eric
