My thanks to all also. My thoughts about a legless table did not include the possibilities of a " leg " that went to the wall rather than the floor. I was trying to envision a support system only along the back edge and the table cantilevered out. The table would still be able to be lifted...

James, A legless table would be slick!! Hopefully someone will have an answer. As you have pointed out it would have to be strong enough to lean on. I've noodled on this but so far haven't come up with a simple, inexspensive solution. If the Marinaut does it, it must be doable. It will be...

Tomherrick I used one (Harbor Freight hydraulic crimper that Dr Bob showed). Rewired my boat and used it for all the larger crimps. It worked very well -- no problems at all. Nice solid crimps. I was impressed, it seems like good quality tool. I wouldn't hesitate to get another except that...

Tom, I like your thinking! Meyers Rum is even a further step down the road of true "rumdom"! Harvey, sorry for my additional hijack, this is a really good and useful thread! On second thought, rum is a most important part of any true ships stores!

Sorry got back late last night. Entering "C-Dory 16" in the search function (upper left this page) brings up lots of threads for 16's. Lots of info in those--I don't have time to to look through right now but I'm sure there is a lot there about their capabilities. I think it would be a great...

Hi Joe, Welcome to the C-Brats website! The question of the C-Dory 16's seaworthiness comes up often - just within the last month there has been some discussion about that subject. A quick forum search will turn up lots of info. I'm sure some one will chime in with some of the threads. Your...

$50 bucks!! They should be paying you to advertise for them !

Tinker Toy is beautifull!! Don't know how I missed it! The floorboards are nice, a nice job on every thing. I may go for floor boards this year and get rid of dri-dek.

Wow!! That's cool. Off hand I can't think of why not. Some of the instances in the video a regular fire extinguisher would work fine. Like having it in an unmanned area though. Can't see what's not to like.

To go along with our recent thread on flares and their storage, I just saw this. http://www.woodenboatstore.com/product/ ... .01.20.16/ As long as batteries are good it never needs to be replaced. I don't think of it as one or the other but, rather, in addition too. Might allow one to "...

Thank you all for your replies and thoughts on this. I'm glad to have the exact citation by Thataway for the CG regulation, that was my understanding but it's good to have the exact info. I like the thoughts about the right combination of types of flare also. I too, like the idea of having...

What do you store your expired flares in and where do you store them?? I have a good supply of expired flares stored in zip lock bags here and there in various places aboard. My current flares are in a round Orion container that is kept on the counter behind the Wallas. I keep the expired...

Haven't had to do it yet but my swim platform (aka: "the back porch") is large enough to reach the prop on the main engine. The kicker is another story.

Thank you, Bob!!! Most useful and fun- don't know how I've missed it. Too cool, I love this site!!

Actually replacing the header might work. Probably have to be engineered but a steel header might work. An I-beam with the trusses resting on the lower lip of the I ? I can envision it being done as a long term solution and still be "legal". My neighbor did this with his garage. He was a...

I've been thinking about a second steering station for awhile too. I'm thinking about a small platform behind cabin on starboard side to stand on and see over the cabin (be a good seat /boarding step also). Probably only use it at at displacement speeds. It would mean raising the steering up at...

My neck has several fused vertebrae in it, so it doesn't turn as far to look behind as it once did. I don't have a rear view mirror in my boat but intend to get one. I like Harvey's idea of keeping an eye on what's going on in the cockpit. A camera would be handy for the big picture. It would...

No relation or interest in, but, might be a good deal. http://monterey.craigslist.org/boa/5205365310.html

Concensus seems to be: these are will be good signaling devices to have but flares etc are still needed. I agree with that, flares are probably much more attention getting, if somewhat brief and these would be a good addition with much longer duration. Also nice to know you're never out of...

I agree, the 22. To my eye it's also the best looking of the lot. Not by a lot but the proportions and sheer are just about perfect! Hope I don't start anything - just my opinion folks!!!!
