I would say that over all permatrim has helped to increase my speed because of stopping the pounding. My trim tabs levels the boat at speed but never did a lot to keep the nose down and boat from pounding. If the permatrim is not submerged some I don't think it could do what it is designed to...

Roger, I have great luck with "Non-skid Deck Cleaner with PTEF" made by Starbrite. The PTEF is a protective non-slippery coating. Even though it is non-slippery it puts on a nice shine after doing a great cleaning job. I use it on all the non-slip surfaces. I seem to remember some time back a...

Even though my only investment in C-Dory is my boat. I appreciate what you do for the brand Marc !! and of course the brats. Congratulations on the grandson.

Nice.... I love to see people writing about enjoying time on a C-Dory. You need to get this guy eating oysters and enjoying apalach Marc. :thup Come to think about it, Cathy and I are long overdue for a trip down to see you, Anita and visit with Dr Bob & Marie. We do have a new grandson...

I received a phone call from Mike. Mrs Norma Byrd (Momma Byrd) passed this morning December 5, at 4:20 am. When I stopped at the hospital to visit, family members were very comforted by statements, prayers and contacts concerning their mother that were made by friends from this site. This is...

Mrs Byrd on the left visiting with Cathy from C-Pearl in the spring of '07 at a gathering at her home. Many of us for years have enjoyed Mrs Byrds hospitality when visiting the Cumberland river and C-Brat gatherings at her home. You may have also met her at one of the Seattle gatherings. I...

I would recommend the Suzuki 175. Like mentioned earlier the weight on all engines are close. The Suzuki 175 has VVT which helps get power from off the line to get on plane or anything else power comes in handy for. The Suzuki 150 and 175 are identical except for the VVT and both swing a 16"...

I don't do much night travel but always use the radar when I do. The electronic charts do not always show the shoreline and channel markers accurately on these winding rivers but radar does a great job at that.

I think Dr Bob gets his answers from his bride Marie :lol: In the center between Cathy and Anita with her hands up. See...He looks confused here without her. 8) But, you can see the fire burning above his head. ) Love you two !! :thup

Pat, forget matching the small screw. Buy some large lag bolts and matching size drill bit. :bat

My scuppers have a back flow preventer. If yours do not then gravity wins. If your cockpit drain is below the water line you will have water coming in unless you plug the drain. I personally don't think the drains will evacuate the water fast enough to save you if the deck gets pooped. They will...

summer break

ok...I'm ready for it. I just checked in and saw what I wrote yesterday about "after playing a while". This is right up there with my post a few years back about the wifes poodle on the boat. :roll: I need to go back to not signing in and posting. see ya :lol:

edfw C-Pearl is the first boat Cathy & I have owned. I'm not sure how other boats handle but I can tell you that after playing a while we get along well on our single engine cd25. We have boated in your area as well as rivers and lakes around the Southeast. This includes locking through dams...

I had the stock scuppers replaced with larger ones. I saw someone posted their scuppers were below the water line. Mine are not. This and more pictures are in the C-Pearl sub album called "scupper stuff" Hope this was a help.

Wow, need to do the same project. I've got to admit that I probably was really not going to get beyond the thinking about it stage. Interested in your findings and maybe I'll get better motivated. :thup
