My only other thought is those drain holes you speak of are all potential ingress of water. The most obvious to me would be the drain hole of the bilge. It's the one that is closest to the stern and most likely to be under water while cruising depending on trim, load and or sea state. Check the...

Brent: That makes perfect sense to me and can see that totally happening. But, in my 2003 the baitwell is totally sealed from the spoons. No way for water to drain into the spoons. Drain at the bottom of the baitwell drains out under the boat between the spoons. I installed a 13 gallon bait...

My first thought was a leaky water tank but 40 gallons is way more than your water tank holds. I also had issues with water in the forward port sponson, which in my boat has a bulkhead and can't be pumped out by the aft bilge. That issue was from the anchor locker not draining overboard but into...

Unfortunately the crew of the Molly Brown will have to bow out in 2024. We have committed to doing the Great American Loop with a departure date of March 11. I had hoped to incorporate the Hontoon gathering but Betty's work needs and prepping the house for an extended absence are making that...

Glad we decide not to tag along since the last few days we’ve only been making 3 miles a day :lol: Besides, we’d have had a heck of a time hoisting the dog up those lock walls. I was originally concerned about the water being at winter pool,5’ lower, but it has sure opened up the entire...

Many thanks to Mike and Dana for putting this on even though they don’t own a boat. Nice facility and great people. Kudos to you both! James and crew

The Molly Brown crew pulled in Thursday morning last week, and after a 2.87” downpour, launched and spent the afternoon rigging the boat for our month long cruise. Friday morning, right on the agreed schedule, the crew of the C-Otter took us out exploring for a short 3.5 day cruise. A super nice...

I've been following your youtube videos and wondered if our wakes would cross while we cruise the area the month of October. Your going to make the gathering famous :D James

Yes, contact has been challenging. Did eventually talk with Tiffany after just calling the main number. Last I heard they were putting us in the "system" and someone was to call back for my deposit but that did not occur. So, we are just going to show up. I have faith all will work out. Betty...

I saw you were moving at 5 mph yesterday....my favorite speed :D James

Doesn't look like you will need so stop at a car wash on your way to Arizona either :D

Gene: The seacock on my 2003 TC24 is in the forward starboard spoon. It's located on the inside rake of that spoon and the area is solid glass, no core to deal with. Use a backing plate. James

Don’t forget the coffee 😅 James

I've always wanted to do that on our 24'. My biggest concern is the extreme narrowness of the spoons, to the point I never pulled the trigger on a purchase. One other issue i had was the unloading part when coming off the trailer. I felt the protrusion of the guard would get bumped by the...

This event is now on both our calendars. I had Betty hooked as soon as I mentioned all the new trails she could run. Yes, we've been through the locks on the south Florida east/west route numerous times, though I don't recall ever having done one solo. Betty is perfectly fine for me to cruise on...

Dang! Now that my familial responsibilities are concluded you've got me considering my first cruise out of my home state. Not committing but I'll be giving it serious though through the summer. If we get through the next hurricane unscathed I might just do it. Just put it on my calendar and will...

We’ll, shoot!! I was really looking forward to the best coffee around. We had a lively discussion about trailering and potential trailering issues yesterday. I trust things will work out for you. If your in the SW Florida area in your travels let me know and I’ll launch and come meet for a...

I whole heartedly agree with all the comments. $50 sound good to back up my support for all DaNag and Tyboo do and have done to keep this site up and running. Though a member, I was never a fan of the old C-Dog site and so was super pleased when this site was created back in 03. Now, if only Red...

FYI…..Just dropped Betty off for a run through Sanford to Gemini Springs. She tells me the Sanford day docks are open. James
