    Mounting Simrad Halo 20+

    I have the 23 Venture, which has a built-in "pad" for the mount molded into the roof. But it looks like the same place that you are planning on putting your setup. I went with the Seaview mount and am extremely impressed with the quality and construction. It is sealed up very well and I have...

    16' C-Dory Angler question

    I will add my experience with my 16 Angler (Sold). When I first got it, I had a hard time getting the motor trim to do a whole lot for the boat. I installed a Permatrim on the Honda 50 that was on it. This was the biggest improvement for that boat. I could get the boat trimmed exactly how I...

    Happy (Belated) New Year to all of you!

    Just wanted to say, a little late, Happy New Year to all of you! My wife and I rang in the New Year on the water! We spent New Years Eve in a slip at Point Hudson Marina in Port Townsend and had a great seat for the fireworks show from our cockpit! On New Year's Day, we went through Port...

    Living in Fairbanks for 40 years, we were quite a ways from the salt water so the jet boat got used on a lot of interior Alaska rivers. For us to go to Homer with the camper, boat, 3 kids and a dog, it was at least 12 hours of driving. Valdez was closer, but the fishing/crabbing/clam digging in...

    Welcome Dale! Great boat! I was born and raised in Fairbanks and fished Homer/Anchor Point every year, loading up on Halibut and Kings. I was lucky that my dad had a 22' C-Dory Classic. I also had an inboard jet boat that was very versatile for numerous waters in Ak. But the C-dory was the king...

    Radar/Radar Arch/VHF Considerations

    The option that I took was adding a radar mount up front, and it allowed me to remove the light from my brow, as well as the GPS antenna that was installed by the previous owner, The SeaView mount that I used allowed me to add the light/GPS antenna to the same unit. I also added the Morad...

    When I set up my CC23 with all new electronics, I ordered from Lisa at Ultimate Passage as well. I actually called and talked with her on the phone before making the purchase. I gave her the list of items that I wanted, and she sent me a price quote. Significantly less than the advertised...
