This looks like the boat in Shultze Gets the Blues, a movie about a German who plays the blues, which nobody appreciates in his hometown, whose greatest ambition is to come to the US to play the blues. He goes to Texas (either San Marcos or New Braunfels, I can't remember) and "borrows" a boat...

Anyone hear when the same upgrades will be available for the Touch?

Does your price include the kicker in the photo? If not, how much extra to include it? Bartman

Isn't there an elevator type lock somewhere in N. America? The Rideau canal maybe? Bartman

http://www.brownslanding.com/pre_owned_ ... veh=697009 Interesting! This looks like a stretched 22 Cruiser. I have seen pictures of this boat before. Does anyone know this boat? Any guesses as to it's weight? I'm wondering whether my GMC Safari could handle it. I towed a Trophy 2159 with...

Ok, here goes my attempt to include pictures of the Zeehaen: It works! Bartman The Bayliner has since been sold--the hole in the water was too deep. Thanks for the help in getting them uploaded.

We were berthed beside this vessel (in our, uggh, Bayliner Trophy) in Gig Harbor in '05. Sorta dwarfed us. The name means "Sea Rooster" in Dutch. It might be old Dutch or Flemish because modern Dutch would be "Zeehaan." I suppose you could also translate it "Sea Cock," which would have the...

Several other negatives of the Trophy came to mind after my earlier post. Most of the "systems", and there are more on a trophy than on most C-Dories, are buried deep in the bilges, under the cabin liner or in the engine compartment, where it is very difficult to get to them. You have to be...

Long-time lurker here. I wanted a C-Dory but thought I couldn't afford one. So three years ago I bought a very nice, 14 year old Trophy 2159 (similar to 2359, just 2' shorter) that only had about 400 hours on the 4.3 V-6 motor. It was very clean and only cost me $12,500. A similar condition...

Using Streets and Trips 2001, specifying Freeways to "dislike" and choosing intermediate waypoints of Longview, Chehalis, Puyallup gives a "backroads" route that closely parallels I-5. Predicted travel time is about 5.5 hours, however. Roughly, the route is US-30, WA(-433, 411, 506, 603, 6...

You might want to look into lauching facilities on the West Side of the Sound. A. Kitsap Pensinsula (Gig Harbor, Poulsbo, Kingston, Keyport) B. Olympic Pensinsula (Port Townsend, Port Ludlow, Sequim) You might, at certain times, save lots of road time and aggravation, but the downside is...

Sorry for posting in the wrong group. Since it obviously was not a posting of my own boat, I neglected to look at the rules of the "For sale by owner" group and was guided instead by the statement under general chat on the forum index, "This is the place! Come on in, make new friends, or kick...

Is this the right place to note C-dories seen for sale elsewhere? There are two on ebay right now. An angler 22 with a 2-stroke motor and a 22 Sport with twin Hondas. They're both in the $10 K range right now but the latter of the two will undoubtedly go much higher. Don't know about the...

I'm still getting the "please try again" message in Windows media player. Am I doing something wrong? I don't have problems with streaming video from other sites. Is there somewhere where one can just download the video file rather than streaming it? Bartman

All I get is "Please try again later" on the video player screen. Does that mean the server's busy, or am I set up wrong? Bartman
