I still can't give you a specific answer about the RAM, but what I was trying to say before is that I have no problem pulling at the max rating. The key is to set up the trailer properly... it needs its own brakes, and needs to support the load of the boat. All the truck needs to be able to do...

I tow a large boat (28 Bertram - twin diesels - 17.5k in tag-along) with my one ton Ford diesel dually. I have towed it from Long Island to California with absolutely no problems. Towing comes down to a couple of things: Tongue weight - how much capacity your tow vehicle has for load on the...

I generally use Safari on a Mac. I have AdBlock installed so that I see no ads, and Incognito installed so that Google and Facebook can't use tracking cookies. Seems to work well... Cheers! John

I'm thinking I will use Trim-Lok's ranged trim: http://www.trimlok.com/prod/Size-Ranged ... goryID=155 It looks like it should accommodate all the varying widths without resorting to silicone. Thanks for all the help. Cheers! John

Thanks for the replies! I do mean the black (pvc? vinyl?) push-on edge trim that C-Dory used to finish the fibreglass edges. Bob, are you saying the factory would have done this? Like I said, it didn't stick to the edge trim, so it didn't succeed as an adhesive. I was under the impression that...

The edge trim on my 16 Cruiser was looking pretty uneven and pulling away in the inner radius curves, so I take it off... and under it is silicone sealant. Was this done by the factory? And is there any easy way to get it off? It didn't stick to the edge trim, but it sure stuck to the...

As long as we're mentioning our local events, don't forget the 49th Annual Powell River Seafair, July 20-22. Right on your way to Desolation... Cheers! John

Lenny, Thank you, kind sir. And I'm glad your thru-hull is big enough... And love that picture! Fill those rod-holders! John

Run, don't walk away... This scam is really prevalent among the Toyota motorhome crowd... The grammar and spelling should also be a clue. John

Thanks, Nor'easter and all... I had early on in this decided that the splashwell was a bad idea, and a kind brat had pm'ed me his pic of the port thru-hull. Noreaster, your thru-hull looks like it is only a 3/4". I think that's a little small for 1600 gph... I've ordered a 1 1/8" thru-hull...

Thanks, Rod! I agree that an 1100 should be serious enough... but if the factory went with it, it's good enough for me. That means I need a 1.125 thru-hull, so I'll get on that! Cheers! John

A little fun with Photoshop? Nice work! My mother's family came from Ireland... we're dying to go visit some day. Cheers! John

Thanks for looking Rod! I can't wait to get home and measure out where that will be... What size pump is installed? 500 or 1100? If you don't mind my being a pest, that is... Thanks again! John

I'm hoping there is some other alternative... the splashwell backs up just when I'm washing the boat. Maybe I just have to lay down and look at it some more. Thanks!

My 1992 16' Cruiser did not come with a bilge pump, and I would like to install one. Where to put the pump is easy; but where does the outlet go? It seems that along both the port and starboard sides is foam, and I don't want to cut through the core at the transom. I'd love to know how other...

To be even more persnickety, it was actually the United States Army Air Forces from June 20, 1941 – September 17, 1947. The Air Corps was 1926 - 1941. Calling the movie "Air Force" was both correct and appropriate. My father enlisted in October 1940 in the US Army and retired thirty years later...

Scott, I have a 1992 16' cruiser that is "white" and blue. I see the number for the tailgate blue, and I'm pretty sure that is what I need. But my white looks more like an ivory or beige or something. Did C-Dorys come in both white and ivory? If so, what would be the number for that? BTW, my...

Hi guys: This is the 16 that I just bought. The PO really wanted to just trade - I chased him for a year before he decided to sell. John

Thanks for the welcome, Harvey and Jim. Yes, I definitely got the feeling of camaraderie during the lurking... I have a home on Nelson Island near the mouth of Jervis Inlet. And yes, if we manage to schedule our vacations properly, I will definitely try to make it to Comox for the day...
