Thanks Ross & Bob The 5 KPH sounds reasonable to me Matt - thanks for the technical info I'm going to stick with a honda - I'm very happy with the performance of the 135 and I like things that match. I still have yet a few more questions. Shaft length for a CC 23 - I assume I'll need the...

Hey Boris Thanks for the info - that is about what I would expect - 5mph is a lot quicker than a dead drift if my engine dies. For trolling and emergency situations the regular steering is probably suficient. Anything with a cord and handle never starts for me and my ole rotator cuff. Hank

Hi Folks I've been looking int trading up to a 25-26 foot boat with twin engines for safety. I'd like to go to the Bahamas - one engine would probably lay down about midway and me with just a paddle. I have a 135 Honda efi on the boat right now - If I don't trade up I would like to...

Hey folks I have been saving to upgrade - if any one knows of a 25-26' owner who might consider a boat swap + the value difference let me know. Would like a late model low hours vessel. I couldn't figure out how to list it with the for sale boats - who should I contact. Thanks Hank 06...

Thanks for the Ideas - I'll get some of the suggested solvents and give it a try when it warms up on Tues Hank

Hey Brats Couple of things #1 Had a pretty serious barnacle attack - have scraped them off but there is still a calcium residue remaining. I used muric (sp) acid to clean a little section - worked well but the fumes will kill me. Is the MA supposed to be diluted?? Anything less toxic...

Hi CaptD I've been thinking of going over for a couple of weeks but you will be leaving out before I can. School finishes on April 29 and I hope to get going soon after that. I'm probably headed for Marsh Harbor and will explore from there. Wouldn't mind getting together and seeing if we...

Hello Folks I'm going to use spring break to cruise the SC and GA coast (March 4-14). I've got the Waterway Guide but I'm open to suggestions on places to go sites to see. I'll trailer the boat down on the 4th - any suggestions as to a place to put the boat in and leave the trailer...

Hi Folks I'll have pictures soon to post. Is the 5200 is the same stuff used to seal holes for mounting stuff? How does this stuff compair to 5 min epoxy in terms of holding power. Thanks for the warning about hull thickness - I'll check with calipers before I screw in and screw up. Hank...

Thanks for the info - I'll get a Scan Guage since I bought t base truck w/o even a tach -Intresting discussion about cars in general. Hank

Hello I have been towing my cc-23 with a toyota 4-runner 4 cyl 2wd and it is pretty marginal - it has a 5000 rating which is probably pretty close to the weight. It was also a little IFY on steep wet ramps. With the economy and the taste of high gas prices still around used vehicles are pretty...

Will the 1KW unit run a small AC? Hank

Have TT that don't work. Plan to check power to the fuse - power to the control unit - then I'm done What normally goes wrong and how do you diagnosis it - they just laid down in the middle of running Any advice Thanks Hank

Hi Folks As a general rule I don't think you should trust wood that does not float!! BC was suggested as a replacement for teak for making accessories so I found some 5/4 stock - planning to rip it and then plane it to 3/8 and 5/8 stock. I was shocked at how hard this wood is. I have...

Hey Ken I took the plunge in May with an 06 used boat - it was 18K less than it was sold for with only 40 hours on it. I had never seen a C-Dory but studied them and others for several months of obsessive research. The boat at the dealer looks pretty good - Consider the Cape Cruiser 23 also it...

Happy to hear of the support for BO within the community - he has a heavy boat to tow - hope it works H

Wow - that's more info than I expected - I'll be trying the truck as a tow in a few weeks if we thaw out - I'll see what it feels like - the trailer has power assist on both axles and did OK with the 4Runner but I drive scared and didn't have any crisis situations. I'd be happy with 12 mpg...

Hi Folks I got a CC 23 in may and have been hauling it around with a Toyota 2wd 4-Runner - which was a little testy. Bought a low mileage 2001 150 4X4 with the 5.7 engine, reg cab & bed, factory tow package (cheap). This should haul better compared to the 3.4 toyota. Any advice about things I...
