C-NILE, we also used hypervent on our c-dory and loved it. Just cut it to size and glued the flaps. I used a contact spray adhesive from a wholesaler I deal with. DO NOT use Barges cement, it will eat the fabric. Found this out the hard way trying to patch canvas tarps for an outfitter I...

Hi Martin, asked the same question a few years ago. 1/2" - 3/4" gap is good. You want the bunks tight enough to do the job, yet not rub due to vibration when trailering.

added a 15lb'er

mom started with a 7.5lb lake trout

Janice's 12.5lb laker

Hi Brenton, if you google Fishful Thinking by Charlie Wray, you will be able to see articles and video full of info for salmon and particularly lake trout in the great lakes. We use a similar modified lake trout system in our local lake with great results. Feel free to ask if you have any...

Papacorn, first off, welcome. The best addition to our CD22, was a remote throttle controller from Controllking. I found you could adjust the rpms with more accuracy than using the handle throttle, and comes with several other useful features. Easy to install and operate. For steering from...
