With all due respect, I would research reviews of this product VERY carefully before using it.

We've received a deposit on C-Weed. Hopefully the change in ownership will proceed uneventfully so I'd appreciate removal of the listing. And THANKS!

C-Weed is regretfully for sale due to health issues. She is lightly used, in nice condition, and anxious for adventure. Price reduced! E-tec 150 under 100 hours Standard Horizon GPS/plotter and “Black Box” Fish Finder (depth/speed/temp) Ritchie compass VHF Hour meter Bennett trim tabs Anchor...

I had a Zodiac Cadet and liked it fine except that at that time the Zodiacs were not Hypalon. Neither the seams nor the material withstood the FL sun well. Later I had an Achilles and considered it a much better boat. Good luck with whatever you choose!

We tow our 25 with a Nissan Titan. Towed it Florida to Maine and back recently without difficulty.

Thank you very much, Joe! A goldmine - lots of good information here, very helpful! Obviously I need to refine my search technique on the site, though!

Hello, C-Brats... Lived aboard three months in Maine where the prevailing rain, fog, etc. had us waging a pretty much constant battle with condensation. It got me wondering how you mariners in the PNW and Alaska, where the seawater is also cold and I understand fog and wet are also common...

Hey, thanks very much, all!!! That worked. I accessed the needed profile from the map. Had tried that previously, or thought I had, but got taken to a log-in page with no escape. Guess I must have been using the wrong "strokes". Thanks again!

Can anyone more familiar than I am with the workings of the site help out? I met a fellow C-Brat, took some photos of his boat I'd hoped to send via e-mail BUT failed to exchange e-mail addresses. I have name, city, state and that's it. He's on the Brat Map but I find no way to get from the...

Referring back to Doug's comments I built a system for a previous sailboat the heart of which was a cheap Beckson diaphram pump. It worked fine. The Edson is a great pump but definitely (IMHO) overkill for this job. The Whale you suggest is perfect. There's another, very similar, also built...

Google didn't pick up anything on "Kendall propane stove" for me. We use the Gasone butane stove like this one - http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Push-But ... 534&sr=8-1 - on Amazon and the Gasone canisters as described above. Both stove and canisters are very reasonable on eBay, as mentioned...

The pressure switch on my Shurflo "went" about one week into ownership (new 25'). This doesn't sound like your problem but in my experience, assuming your pump is also a Shurflo, these people have been pretty good about responding to questions. I'd call or e-mail a description of the symptoms...

Agree with all the kudos to Toyota having had one myself but am now towing our 25 with a 2006 Titan. Not many miles yet on which to base an opinion but no problems and I plan on towing from FL to ME and back this summer. When I bought the Titan it was supposed to be the highest capacity in...

Having recently bought "new" for the first time in our lives I would just caution that new does not necessarily translate to turnkey. Personally I don't believe I'd do it again. The best of manufacturers, and my familiarity is mostly with Hinckley, are beset with "warranty" problems. In many...

Doryman, thanks for on-site up to date info on Flamingo. Planning a trip of our own I'd been operating on the assumption that fuel was available. Nice photos, too. From the background of the alligator shot I'm wondering whether the subject might not be one of the resident crocodiles? If you...
