We have previously owned a CD-25 and currently have our Ranger 29 for sale at a broker in Anacortes. We’re thinking about buying another CD-25 or maybe a Venture after the 29 is sold. What I have learned from the broker (Russ Meixner) and talking to employees of Ranger and NMI is that these...

Swantown Marina in Olympia is a starting point that we have used. Walk to old town or the farmer’s market. I would get a Waggoner’s Guide for suggestions of day trips, etc.

We had a CD-25 and currently have a Ranger 29. The ride and the comfort level of the Ranger is pretty impressive. However for various reasons The R-29 is going. Now thinking about a boat that I can trailer myself (comfortably), that’s less complicated and cheaper to maintain/house. I also...

That’s good information. Thanks!

I’ve seen posts where some prefer the way the Venture handles the water. I have a more specific question since my wife and my dog never cared for the slapping of the C-25 through choppy water - is there less slapping action in comparable seas with the Venture? I always liked this group. Thanks!

My dog was sleeping next to a carbon monoxide detector in a trailer and she set it off twice in one night. We moved her and peace resumed. Not sure which end of her set off the alarm :lol:

I agree that this isn't necessarily the kind of debate that changes anybodies mind. I don't have any kind of lily-white history myself but as a long time resident of the Emerald Triangle I have some pretty strong opinions about pot growing. The get-rich-quick mentality is an ugly one. Right...

I might pick an alternate destination. Say launch and go to LaConner for lunch. That way I'm on the water. For one thing I don't want the "Admiral" to get down on boating.

San Juan Charters out of Bellingham have power and sail boats. We chartered a Ranger 29 three years ago. They have Aspens and a Nordic 32 also. Seems like a well run company. They did scare my poor wife with all their talk about "killer" rocks.

Hey Butch, Great to see you on the C-Brats. How did that check valve work out? Jeff

Sold the boat as part of a purchase deal on a Ranger Tug. So we're still part of the greater C-Brat/ Tugnut family. Jeff

Oh yeah. We also have a memory foam topper for the vee-berth and a nice solar powered ventilation fan. Sorry about the quality of the pictures. Maybe I can get my wife to start a photo gallery off her lap top this weekend.

For mildew prevention, ventilation has made a big difference in our boat. I put a solar powered fan in the front hatch and leave the head door and window cracked open - this seems to keep the moisture level down. We also have an oil filled electric heater that I leave on at a low setting.

I heard that the C-Quester will have twin 90's but you'll only be able to run one of them.
