    Auburn Crab Pots

    just went and looked at them. boy those are some big pots. I have a cd-25 and I would be hard pressed to find room to store them. They are about 36 inches and weigh about 40lbs. probably work if you were crabbing for a living.

    Deer Season

    I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that, since they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we...

    SO WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OR ON YOUR C-DORY TODAY??

    In the automotive repair business I learned early on there is no right or left only driver side or passenger side.

    Ranger 25 hooks and things

    I recently put up some hooks on our CD25. Before I did we went to wally world and got a handfull of suction cup hooks. Spent last summer putting them in different places until I found where I wanted permanent hooks. We will still use the suction cup hooks to customize for different trips. I...

    Towing a 25 ft. cruiser

    And bigger brakes. Might come in handy. There is a reason they rate 3/4 ton trucks higher than 1/2 tons. Comfort/security level is up to the driver.

    Tacoma Tall Ships Festival

    There are 37 Tall Ships scheduled for the festival July 3- July 7. One of them is a 295 foot USCG sailing ship. Should be quite a sight with all of them in Tacomas Foss waterway. Looks like there will be a number of C-Dorys doing security, very appropriate. Should be a great weekend and as Jim...

    Portable washdown/shower

    Breausaw How about matching the plug for the electric downrigger and plugging the overboard pump in there. Roger That portable from Cabelas has all kinds of benefits. No drain on boat water tank, refillable fresh water instead of salt water, extra water if the boat water tank runs short, I like it.

    Garhauer Davit setup questions

    Dr. Bob On Garhauers website they show the lifting davit in 2 different places, with slightly different descriptions. One of the descriptions has the additional support bracket as an option. It is all stainless tubing and clamps. It is designed to be cut to length for the application. I believe...

    Garhauer Davit setup questions

    Warren, To describe the additional support, it is a 10inch piece of 1 inch SS tubing with a clamp bracket welded to one end. After cutting to length there is a sleeve that goes on the support pipe. Where mine is mounted on the port gunnel at the back of the cabin I was able to clamp the support...

    Garhauer Davit setup questions

    I recently installed a garhauer lifting davit on my CD25. I mounted it on the port gunnel at the back edge of the cabin. I plan to use it for launching and retrieving the dinghy from the roof. Also, with the addition of an open faced pulley, to retrieve crab pots. After installation my son and I...

    Towing a C-25 with a 2006 Frontier

    I had the same issue when we bought our cd25. The tow vehicle was at 95% of tow capacity. You said that your boat will be stored in the water during the summer. I would guess then that you will be towing a minimum amount. I would not let the tow vehicle keep me from buying the boat that that...

    swim platform question

    It is apparently personal choice. I find the swim step a little precarious for loading and unloading from the dinghy. I find the boarding (stout ladder) ladder easier to use and more secure when the dinghy is side tied at both ends and I have things to hang on to. I use both the ladder and swim...

    swim platform question

    I would consider using a boarding ladder hung on the gunnel for dinghy access. I have a swim step on our 25 and positioning the dinghy for access from the swim step is a little tricky. Much easier to tie off on the side and access from the ladder. Ladders are also a lot cheaper and do not...
