Added liner inside portside cock pit storage to protect wiring, etc. Shown is outboard motor mount for swim step

This is a great thread and I have a question for you. Everything that I want on the C-80 works except for the log and trip feature. We did a 10 day trip and the log or trip showed nothing. As the boat moved, no distance was logged but all the other features work and (of course) the GPS is...

I would love to post the photos of what we have done so far. So, I am asking for a gallery. Until then, lets keep talkin'

Kerry and Nancy, In Gig Harbor we stayed on the public, city owned dock that is about 1/2 way up the marina on the south side. It is also free but they do not have power nor water. We had a nice visit there. Also, we were surprised that there was no fuel in Gig Harbor. The fuel dock had...

We used the Minwax product called polywipe. Apparently it is somewhat new; at least to me!

I tow ours very easily with a 1/2 ton Dodge Ram crew cab pickup, 4 by 4, that has the 5.7 Hemi engine. I also added air "helper" pillows to this "heavy half" as my mechanic calls it. I use the air pillows for long freeway runs but because I am 20 minutes away from my usual launch, the factory...

We have had the "Laurie Ann" since July and this is what we have done so far: 1. Removed the cockpit cushion and added a fold out table top to the bait-well lid. We love it for wine and cheese and sunset. 2. Added stainless tie downs for one-inch straps in the cockpit. We use on set to hold...

We also share our welcome to you in this new adventure. We were heading south toward Kingston in our C-Ranger. the "Laurie Ann" and we saw a red-hulled C-Ranger heading north! We have a green hull. Today, we got back from a 10 day trip to South Puget Sound and we had many, many compliments...

Using a recommendation from a furniture refinisher, we used this product with great success. No brush, no masking and wipes on with a clean pad and small areas are done with a q-tip. Sand lightly after 2 hours with extra fine and do it again. I put on four coats over two days and am very...

Hi Everyone, last Friday we moved from the "waiting list" to the "owner's list" with the delivery of hull 36, the "Laurie Ann." For those of you in Puget Sound, we have ours on its trailer at our home in Marysville and trailer it to the Everett boat launch. You will recognize us because we...

Hi Mac, Thanks for the photos and the report on the dingy and it may fit your boat because we have ordered C-Ranger hull #36 due out in early July and your blazing the trail for us. What size honda motor is your package and are you free to share the package price? We saw you leaving the boat...

At the Seattle Boat Show, we became facinated with the Portland Pudgy, a hard bottom, molded plastic, rated as a 4 person lifeboat because it has a ton of floatation in it,yet can come with a sail kit, rows, and is less than 8 feet long! Check it out at portlandpudgy.com Though made in...

Hi Mac, Thanks for sharing what you are doing because we have an order for a June delivery date on a C-Ranger. Any thing else that you have learned would be great to hear about and we can share what we have opted for. We are in Marysville so it will be nice to have another tug in the area. John

Hi Bob, Thanks for the information about the C-Ranger, your insights are welcome. We love the information contained in this string and we have questions about the Garmin and Raymarine units. We have been looking at the Raymarine C80 and the Garmin 3210. Though Garmin uses the proprietary...

We appreciate the positive comments about the C-80. In addition, we are looking at the Furuno package and new Garmin package. We are not fisherman, just cruisers and crabbers, so we are looking at a digital depth sounder and perhaps adding radar later. Furuno has the reputation but the they...

We have been looking hard at the R-25 for sometime and saw hull #1 at the factory. We jumped off the fence at the SBS and put our money down for a June delivery boat: red hull and the 110 hp motor. We found John Livingston and the whole C-ranger staff very helpful and adaptable and looking...
