    Kid Safety/Rope Rail extensions and Hatch Cover

    Has anyone added rope rail extensions to add a level of safety on their C-dory? Would love some pictures and ideas. My son is 3 and always stands on the step and leans over the sides and wants to venture to bow of the boat. Our daughter is a month old so I imagine she'll want to do the same at...

    Trailer for tomcat 255

    Just got a regular one for our 25 cruiser with EOH 8600lb carrying capacity and it was 6629 USD but that was a deal in my mind at least the boat yard selling it may not have been a dealer as they used it to tow a Grady one way. It was a Load Rite and their Elite model.

    No 12v+ at Ford truck 7 way trailer plug mystery solved?

    Thanks, I think this may have helped me this weekend with my camper tail lights and will come in use going forward. My lights don't seem to ever work right away and maybe this is the solution. We have a new trailer to try this out on too...

    BC WA Fishing Reports and throw in some CA and AK

    Victoria BC. Managed to limit out 4 - over 6.5 inch crab each for 4 of us on Sunday morning after 20 hour soak with two traps at 90 feet. A halibut head tied to the bottom of the trap and a little salmon scraps enticed the big boys in. No halibut for 3 trips this year. Salmon closed until...

    12 inch GPS Plotter on a 25?

    Wow Gene, your Tomcat is looking amazing! Thanks everyone including Harvey for the picture. 12 inches is looking a little too big but I may go down the cardboard route to see how it would fit.

    12 inch GPS Plotter on a 25?

    Is a 12 inch GPS Plotter on a 25 cruiser too big? Have the opportunity to upgrade from a 7 to a 12 but I'm concerned about loosing visibility through the main windshield. I would think a 9 inch one would be a happy medium? Thanks.

    Honda 200

    Not to hijack the thread but that has me interested, adding a permatrim. Has anyone had one on their Honda 150? I put the SESport one on my Yami 115 on my Hewescraft and it was a great. I had been looking for one for a 6hp yamaha and didn't know about the permatrim brand and now I see they have...

    Tomcat fairly valued?

    Congratulations and if you need another son, I'm in! My brother just took the clipper catamaran from Seattle and couldn't believe have smooth it was compared to his bayliner and my friend owns Maple Leaf Adventures that runs a cat from Victoria to Alaska. Such a great boat for big waters. I...

    Launching out of Vancouver, BC for 10 days

    I've never done the run from the Vancouver Side but it doesn't look too bad with Bowen Island, Sechelt, smugglers cove, halfmoon bay, secret cove, Edgmont, Princess Louisa Inlet, Harmony Islands, Texada...... It could be a month of exploring before even making desolation sound. My boat partner...

    Truck for C Dory 25.

    I went with 2016 6.7 F350 crew cab regular box (6.5ish?). Mostly for the payload for a camper, which I'd never get out of the F150 which I would have bought if I didn't want a camper. I bought it used with a ton of the features I wanted that the last guy had done as upgrades. It's amazing...

    Engine specs for a 25’ Cdory

    If the boat doesn’t have a kicker and tons of fishing/cruising gear it should be fine. I run the 150 Honda with a kicker and tons of stuff Making the 25 cruiser heavy and it gets by. We can’t keep up to other boats but and I would love to use the value of the 150 to trade in on a 200hp but it...

    Any Brats Driving from San Diego to Seattle?

    Yes, I’ve had an eye on a trailer for a while. The sooner the better but if someone is doing an early December SAN Diego or Tia Juana visit that works for me! Thanks Harvey!

    C 25 buying advice

    Any boat that sits in this economy for more than a few weeks is overpriced in my opinion. I do like the bimini top/full enclosure and a good trailer over a boat that has been modified (with the cooler cut out). Also having a kicker with any older off warranty motor is important. This one does...

    Tuna 2019

    Anyone up for Tuna trips in 2020? I'm based in Victoria and have been drooling over reports from Bamfield, Ukulet and Nootka Sound. Happy to travel down to WA to buy gas and fish with someone else but hesitant to take my current trailer down to unfamiliar launches. I've fished Tuna Commercially...
