Was that you towing through Portland on Friday 12/6 about mid day?

We use an EcoFan on the cooler burner to push air into the berth. It works nicely, with no power draw. Here it is on Amazon

Saw a Tomcat 255 Heading north on I-5, just before the Terwilliger curves. Appeared to be green trim.

Bob, I think you’ll enjoy the new truck. The 6.7 is a great engine. With the camper on, and our 22, I think we are pretty close to 10,000 pounds. It’s a rare grade that gives us any problem. A caveat... stay away from cut rate fuel stops. I just put $3,000 into my truck be cause of a...

Hmmmm, magic... I like magic. I’m thinking it will be nice on the Northern Lite camper as well as the boat.

I never met Dusty in person, but we chatted many times, first on CDogs and then here with the CBrats. I learned a lot from him. If I remember correctly, he was a NAP (enlisted) pilot who then received a commission. I am sorry to learn of his passing.

Oops, dup post

Pulling a 25, those are good towing numbers.

If you’re only towing from Tilllmook to a local ramp or Garibaldi, the Highlander would be OK, but personally I’d prefer a more capable vehicle for any trip with a significant climb or descent.

Blair, are you hand steering, or do you use a tie rod? I find the tie rod works better, a bit of tension on the pivot tube is good as well.

I considered building a boat some years ago. When talking to a man who built a stunning Herreshoff Mobjac ketch, he asked the question... Do you want to build a boat, or do you want to boat? I bought a boat. I think you will need to factor that into your decision. If the core has become...

I sea what you did there. Thanks for being a good guy!

Same here... it works nicely.

Park, Welcome to the Brats! if you still have my cell number, give me a shout. I can tell you what we have and any Dory secrets I know. Steve

Send a PM to Tyboo or Da Nag, they are the admins.

Conrad, if you have a Tap Plastics (or other plastics biz) nearby, check with them. They often have scraps leftover from bigger jobs. Steve

My 2¢... I’d have it come down a back corner of the house. Probably the corner that has the wiring loom for the anchor light. I’d use 8 gauge marine wire, and put the controller as close to the batteries as possible. If you can miss a cored section of the house top, less chance of future...

:thup :roll: It’s always 5:00 PM somewhere.

Austin, If you decide on a CDory, I recommend putting a Permatrim plate on the motor(s if twins). They do a great job of bringing the bow down to deal with chop. Good luck in your decision and search. Steve

I would offer them here, and on Craigslist.
