    A "Classic" question.................

    Anybody know how Redfox attached his saddletanks to the hull?? I see that he used brackets, but could not discern how the brackets were attached to the hull. Thanks.

    A "Classic" question.................

    Thanks for the info. I seem to remember a picture of Redfox - tied to a dock - and the picture was taken from someone on the dock, facing the stern - I believe this showed how low Redfox's boat rode in the water - anyone able to point me to that picture??

    A "Classic" question.................

    I am repowering a 1983 22' Classic and am leaning towards a 115 hp. This is largely due to my concern that a 90 just won't quite do it when I am loaded with guys, gals, and gear. The issue with a 115hp 4-stroke Yamaha is that it weighs 401 lbs (a 90 hp weighs 369 lbs) and I am concerned...

    Nearly had an accident, but why?

    Thanks to all for the responses. Yes, we were going too fast for sure! The Angler has a 40 hp Yamaha, so the boat is not overpowered, but also wasn't smartly driven. The more I reflect on the incident the more I am convinced that the port chine dug into the water and we "caught the edge"...

    Nearly had an accident, but why?

    Long time reader, first time poster............I've always enjoyed the C-Brat site and its knowledgeable owners. I've spent years on the water, but only recently on a C-Dory. Until recently my experience has been with the displacement and deep V variety. Yesterday, a friend and I went looking...
