    Went to the Boats Afloat Show

    As of now we are both. But my allegiances after 12 years is obviously with the C-Brats. At this point, I'm starting to pick the brains of the Tugnuts. Just a new adventure all the way around.

    Went to the Boats Afloat Show

    Thank you all for the kind words. Fred asked, are we going to be Tugnuts now? I did join the site but as others have said before me, once a Brat, always a Brat! Peter

    Went to the Boats Afloat Show

    And... bought a boat! Yes, it’s true, Caryn and I put a deposit down on a 2018 Ranger Tug 23. As I’ve previously mentioned, we’ve been lusting after this boat since it was first introduced at the boat show in 2016. We’ll be taking delivery of the new boat at the beginning of next year. For...

    26 Venture Power Options

    Oops the difference between the 115 vs 90 is 58 lbs. Kinda funny that I can't add correctly being that I'm a Financial Controller. :embarrased (Thanks Bob) Peter

    26 Venture Power Options

    We repowered exactly a year ago to a Suzuki DF90A and didn't really get to break it in until this spring. The reason we chose the 90 was due to the weight savings compared to our 2006 Suzuki DF90, 75lbs! While doing the first 20 hours, I was a little concerned that maybe I should have chosen...

    C-Dory Sightings

    Harvey, are you sure you're not talking about the boat totally rebuilt by the master craftsman Chris Bulovsky from the great lakes also called Scout? He documented his incredible craftsmanship in his album called "resuscitation of a boat". I'm still amazed to this day. Not to take away from...

    tomcat vs other cdorrys for offshore?

    Art, do you have a Permatrim and/or trim tabs? They make a big difference on the ride in chop for these boats.

    My new boat (part 4!)

    I totally agree with the above three posts by very experienced boat owners and trailer drivers. When we had our Nissan Frontier, it towed our boat adequately but I definitely didn't enjoy towing much. Once I bought the Toyota Tundra, towing has been a breeze. Like Jim said, matching a good...

    Miss our c-dory

    Great news Paul! Even though we've been thinking about moving up to something bigger (the operative word being thinking), it would be very difficult for me to sell C-Dancer. She's been the perfect boat for us. Good luck in your search.

    Farmed Salmon Escape

    Quite a haul! I copied these pics from a fishing site. It looks like some are doing quite well on catching these guys. The poster said "I think looking for them on the troll and then casting Buzz Bombs and Spinners while chucking pea gravel" The poster and catcher of the pic above said...

    Farmed Salmon Escape

    Sorry Tom. The Seattle Times reports the escapement number is much higher than the 5,000 originally reported. It says the farm held more than 300,000 and several net pens were damaged. "It's basically a salvage operation. The numbers started out low and we don't know the full number but...
