Pardon me if I have missed my answer someone where on the site. But has anyone organized a trip or is planning on doing a trip on the Erie during Aug, mainly the first of Aug? Or anyone doing any cruising on the Kentucky lakes or in and around the rivers in Tenn?

Its easy to sit back and chuckle in a humorous way while looking at the wide variety of boat ramp fiascos after a few years of towing boats and trailers with a wide variety of vehicles and trailers. But if all of us are willing to admit it, many of us used what we had and never gave it a...

There are production bracket makers that makes curved brackets all the time. Heck teak platforms are mostly all curved on larger motor yachts. If anyone needs some ideas of who makes them, let me know. The aluminum brackets are powder coated. And its easy to make a template for them with self...

I don't know if anyone has posted this . But after reading that some members suggests these and use them, maybe dig a bit deeper into your particular unit and see if you are affected by this fuel leakage issue. These are surely great units overall though...

I would personally think if you oversize your anchor with chain only, and carry it on your bow and in the forward rope locker, you may alter the safe handling with bow down trim in any open water that you plan to transit in.

I second taking a look at the album when you have time to kill and want it to be useful. :) I think there is also some back stories of the kayak trip and camping along side of the glaciers too. Now back to your regular program...

I did reply to your pm.

Thanks, will post some later on when I get some time to figure that out here. I probably will not get that far north this year. We have two other ventures on tap, with grandkids to the south. And we deal with hurricane season where we don't go too far that time of year. So a shorter trip inland...

Well that really says that the trailer probably has too much tongue weight and not really the fault of the tow vehicle. Cam you adjust the under carriage of your trailer a bit forward? Or do you have enough rear distance on your setup on the trailer that you can adjust the boat back a bit?

Hello, first post but my wife and I have always been fans of these hulls and the ventures of their owners. Recently we were doing some cruising in the warmer region of the country and met some fellow C Dory owners that's doing the get together in central Florida right now. But anyway reading...
