I got mine last week. It's not just about me not getting the flu it's also about my contribution to the community's herd immunity. Also, I have grandchildren and I don't want to pass the flu to them (even if I show no or few symptoms). For me, it's part of my patriotic duty to get my...

The Lummi natives have caught about 20,000 all by themselves. At present, the estimates of the number released ranges as high as 185,700 and as low as 4,000 (which is clearly too low given the numbers caught already). See - http://www.dnr.wa.gov/atlanticsalmon

Sorry I didn't see this earlier and reply. To some extent, it depends on how deep you fish and how much current there is. If you mount them midship, fish deep and are going against current, you might still have problems. I have mine mounted on the aft corners, behind the rails using the...

Three Rivers in Fl has been a C-Dory dealer for many years. The internet wayback machine shows them as a dealer at least as early as 2004 (listed on their own website).

Wefings still shows itself as a dealer and Three Rivers has been around for awhile. My guess is that there is no active maintenance of the C-Dory site and the list of dealers you see is just way out of date.

Also at the location (Skagway), the cost of getting the boat there is much higher. E.g. the original shipping costs result in a higher price in that region than in other parts of the U.S.

Brock, Congrats on the new (much larger) boat. I'm guessing you already have a name for it but if not, I thought "Catman Deux" would be a good choice.

Definitely agree. With a lot of weight to stern, the boat will tend to wallow more. I'm still surprised that you can get on plane at all though.

Glen, You're vastly overestimating the difference in fuel consumption. The 8x difference is in gallons per hour with the Ranger tug going 6kt and the C-dory going 15kt (or even 18kt). In gallons per mile the fuel usage is more like 2.7-4x different at those speeds. Slow the C-dory down to 6kt...

I was in the Ballard locks a few years back and was rafted off a cigarette boat (a Donzi). I asked how fast his boat went and he indicated 65MPH. He then asked how fast my 22 would go. I said, "70". He gave me a cross eyed look of disbelief and I followed with "... on the trailer". :D

Iphones take pretty darn good photos. They just get down sampled on upload by many different internet apps/websites. So I'm pretty sure the photos will be great for either purpose. I certainly like them.

I assume a high res version of the picture of DayDream with Lady Liberty in the background will both wind up on the wall of the crabby shack and be in the next C-Brat calendar.

I'm not familiar with the Cape Cruiser construction details but I had a leak in my former 22 C-Dory that I ultimately traced to the fresh water fill port not being well sealed to the gunwale. On my 22, there was a small rise in the gunwale just forward of the cockpit that was designed to deflect...

As has been mentioned, the typical C-Dory doesn't have a lot of boat below the water line and it has a lot above it. As a result, it's pretty easily blown onto or off of a dock in the wind. Also, when heading directly into the wind, the bow can rotate around very quickly if it gets pointed a...

My previous 22 had twin, carbed Honda 40's. Without permatrims, wide open with a light load on flat water was about 30MPH or 26kts. For the 22, that's just about the speed where the boat feels a little squirrely - e.g. still controllable but on the edge of not having enough wetted surface to...

That's an assumption on your part. My buddies didn't become buddies by being slackers.

The bait pump pumps water in, the fish box pumps pump water/blood/guts out. So they are not interchangeable. In principal, one could combine the fish boxes to one pump but that would leave at least one long run of hose filled with stuff after pump out. Also when that one pump fails (& it will)...

"5) the gas station blues will kick in soon enough - it's a challenge gassing her up - two separate tanks mean moving her twice to fill up; much less two 90 gallon tanks - cha-ching." At fuel docks the hoses are always long enough to fill both sides. At gas stations on land, if I get close...

1) Of course you're still a Brat. 2) NMI does have a bigger, beamier hull, in the SeaSport line. The Pacific 3200 catamaranis my dream boat - it's just too far above my price range to be realistic. They are beautiful boats inside and out.

Nope - I have an airhead. But that's why I said that "if you get a Tomcat it will likely come with at least 7 pumps". I hate changing/fixing pumps and the sewage pump would be low, low, low on my list. :lol: In fact I've complained so much about pumps that last year when a buddy of mine and...
