I just wanted to wish all our loyal and devoted C-Brats a Merry Christmas and to wish you all well in the new year. It is a joy and a blessing to us to have such support. Thank you.

Fred, Thanks for your comments. I have been in contact with Mike at Port Porthouse and we are on it, but I think at this juncture it is probably appropriate to continue our discussions off the C-Brat site. I always try to be respectful of the site and its purpose. We will get you out enjoying...

I just caught wind of this thread and although I don't generally like to comment on specific situations. This thread seemed to call for some clarification. The Tomcat under discussion was not a standard boat and it was acquired under unusual circumstances. It was a boat partially built by the...

I truly understand the interest that we all have in wanting to produce and sell more new C-Dory boats. Trust me nobody, wants the C-Dory boat line to grow and flourish more than me. I also uniquely understand that well thought out marketing is a key component to achieving business success...

I hope that everyone has a chance to see the great article in the Heartland Boating publication highlighting the C-Dory boats and the C-Brats. Some of you guys are even on the cover of the magazine. Check it out when you have a chance.

It was mentioned earlier in this thread that this site is really isn't the appropriate forum for dealer/manufacturer matters and I agree completely. So hopefully this post will act as a thread killer. The gist of the situation with Kitsap is that they have been a solid supporter of the C-Dory...

Hey all, we still do have the mats they are $25.00 each plus shipping. We also have the black vests in the big, bigger, huge and yes fluffy sizes. Those I can sell for $15.00 each plus shipping. However, anyone who lives close and wants to just swing by and pick one up, the cost is only three...

Hey folks, I just wanted to let you all know that the C-Dory store is now finally accessible online. You can get to it via the Triton Marine Industries site or the C-Dory site. Just click on the store tab of either site and you will find an array things to purchase with the C-Dory logo...

In answer to the question regarding the decision to use the 29' photo, it was simply due to the availability good quality high resolution pictures. We have a good number of great pictures that came over from Fluid Marine, but they were not high res. However, still I thought the card was well...

Great feedback from you all. Sounds like the consensus is that for Facebook to be an effective tool it requires some serious attention. As I mentioned before, we are new to this so it might be wise to look at a few good examples of businesses using Facebook effectively. Roger, if you know of...

Hello C-Brats, In a further effort to market the Triton name and C-Dory brand we have decided to increase our social media presence through our Facebook page. Facebook currently has over 600 million active users. While it might be a bit ambitious for us to sell 600 million boats this year we...

I'm not sure where the proper forum is for this, but one of the Brats has his 23' Cape Cruiser boat at the factory and it has the fully enclosed camperback canvas. The canvas is blue and in perfect condition. He is looking to sell this canvas to any Cape Cruiser/Venture owner that may be...

Wow great feedback and quick as well. The Brats are on it, so it sounds like I need to get going with this. I will digest the ideas you all had and see if I can come up with something very soon. I know the printing businesses are hungry out there as well. My main concern is that we offer...

In another thread there was some discussion about how to effectively and economically market C-Dory boats. The discussion sort of began with a discussion about the Seattle boat show and the challenges both dealers and builders are having in keeping their product in front of the public while...

I just wanted to add my two cents worth from a factory perspective in response to Matt's comments. There is no question that the entire boating industry has been hit hard in the last couple years and dealers and builders are understandably cautious.... putting it mildly. Everyone in business...
