Our 75 was a bit over 900 hours and running fine. We plan to keep the boat for a few more years and decided it was worth it to enjoy a new fuel injected unit with less noise and better charging. Plus it will sell better at that time with modern power. Greg

They all share a block and are basically differently tuned and featured versions of the same engine. This is nkrmal in the marine outboard world. The 100 is relatively new to the group, otherwiseyou might see more of them, but requires premium fuel to make the extra 10 hp and that is fuel we...

We are headed down to Sportcraft tomorrow to work out the details but I have still not decided which motor. They have both in stock so we will talk it out down there. I am leaning toward the Suzuki because of various "quieter" comments in reviews, a bit less weight, offset crankshaft moves...

Yep, 32k per battery at 560lbs each plus the 24k for the motor and controls and they only provide 35 minutes of full throttle runtime each so we would want more than one. Two batteries plus motor = 88k and a big no way for our boating style

The stern Mounted Porta-potti was really a nice idea. Great views! http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _photo.php Seriously though, We are looking for new controls and NMEA 2000 data to new instruments/chartplotter as the existing controls are really basic. The BF100 only makes more...

We love the 19 and it fits in our storage shed with no length to spare. We do have a set of custom hard doors on the back of the cabin, but rarely use them with the current semi-permanent camperback enclosure in place. We did consider the 22, and owned a 25 previously, but the 19 is really the...

We err toward propping down in pitch for a relatively higher RPM and less loading of the engine. Not going for top speed on this boat but effortless planing for heavy loads and midgrade cruising speeds. Etec motors are not in consideration at this time and I do have some running experience...

We are keeping our precious Ari for at least 5 more years and decided to up the enjoyment factor with a new outboard for less weight, fuel injection, and more charging amps. We have a couple of deals lined up down in Portland and up in Tacoma. The pricing is very close and the specs are quite...

So with a power boat on the ocean, it seems there would be less reason (no sail rigging to babysit)to go up on deck in such conditions and if a person did go overboard, the boat could be stopped faster than a boat under sail. Is that true and does that make a power trawler safer for a couple on...

Fabric and snaps here, but we added a 3/8in panel of closed cell foam cut to fit on the inside of the fabric and it adds shape/smoothness to the covering and pads/protects any bumps to the panel by v berth dwellers. Cheap and quick, Greg

Good points on this thread. We still carry flares but I have them for kayaking so there is a little overlap in our purposes. If you like the idea of these lights, but maybe not the cost/size, or using them exclusively, consider something like this as a supplement to your traditional...

We a well paired roof rack to position it just off the roof using a couple sets of kayak type supports, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Why do you want the rib over a lighter air floor? Speed or puncture resistance? Friends with RIBs would tell you the punctures still come too easily. Greg

Hello there, My Sister/Brother-in-law asked me about your boat today. Looks very clean and well cared for. They are going to do a little talking and get in touch if they feel ready to make the move to an overnighter. They have an 18ft Tracker now but are looking for something more. The...

Ask on the site to see if any current 25 owners would take him for a short test run with a bit of time behind the wheel instead of a rental or borrow situation that makes most owners pretty nervous. That may be enough to get a feel for it and make a decision toward or away from the 25. There...

Don't forget Yachtworld and just do a keyword search for C-dory and you might find something there as well. We found our 25 that way and it was a great buy for us. Welcome to C Brats! Another Greg

This stuff really does work well Davis FSR stain remover. Rust stains and discoloration along the waterline. Apparently, when it works on your particular stain, it is fantastic. I use this tape regularly and keep a roll on the boat. Its heat resistance is particularly useful. Rescue Tape...

The dehumidifiers are very slow in practice and need to be run for hours just to start making a real difference. I only run our current unit when the boat is back home, but if you ran one overnight, it would make a serious difference, but I would tend to try less ventilation in that scenario...

Thanks for this Bob, I have swapped out radios in the last few years due to boat swaps so I am luckily all set. Greg

I have only used a couple of systems with travel trailer and not boats, but the short answer is, your wheels will not come off the ground but they will be lighter than without a WD setup. The weight is transferred primarily toward the front of the tow vehicle to lessen the downward load carried...

"TEMP decreases" Correction needed on the second to last line of my last post. among others, darn auto correct. Plus I find that working across 4 devices and 2 PCs seems to keep my typing less than perfect. Forgive me for not taking more time. So long as folks get the point, I won't feel...
