Your right about the descriptive write-ups. They are stragegically done to enhance certain features and to hide the lack of certain features as they compete with products from other makers. They always seem to leave out that tid-bit of information that would give you what you need to make your...

I am pretty sure they are not pantographic arms. If thats the case the only pivot point is at the motor and they will arc down missing half of the window. I would thing pantographic blades would have to pivot from the center of the edge of the window rather than the corner

Does anyone have experience with Comrod VHF antennas, and do they provide a significant advantage over the Shakespere Galaxy antennas? Their price would indicate that they would. My dealer who outfits some pretty intense boats for the Alaska waters (not sport boats) uses them when the best is...

If the wipers, in fact, don't cover at least 3/4 of the window I had planned to request pantagraphic wipers. However, the locations of the motors would have to be different. Placement could be an issue. Here is the picture, see if you see it different than I do.

Good news, looking forward to it. They are making progress. Got to remember though, the new owners will be putting the pounds back on. But thats true with any boat, need some buffer, and additional power usually provides that. Say, has anyone looked at the pictures the windshield wipers on...

Well, I'm one of those with a deposit on a CR-25 (contingent on solving performance issues) and feeling in the dark about such a momentous purchase. My wife, Signe, and I were supposed to be able to get a ride on Oct 9th but the dealer didn't get the word to us in time to get tickets down...

Dead Silence on the C-Ranger 25. Thats a pun folks. Doesn't seem right for a boat that was looked forward to with so much anticipation. Isn't there a single C-Ranger 25 owner with some information about their boat that they would like to share? Or are they all owned by dealers? Engine...

Well you guys are changing my thinking on transducers, especially since if you do a thru hull, your stuck with what you have. I see these charter boat captains chasing fish and talking about marking fish that I never see. I was wanting to spend extra for a top quality sounder system since...

Thanks for the good advice, So, I guess what I am hearing is that it wouldn't be a good idea to do a thru hull transducer to get the best sensing location because you may need to splice the cable for a different unit or change it althgether to get the next technology. I know that most...

Does anyone know if transducers and cables use a universal connection to all makes of sounders? In other words could I use a garmin transducer with a ramarine or lawrance sounder for example. Wouldn't be a good idea to use a thru hull mount if this were the case. I am also of the...

Sportner Quicker yes, but more convenient no. It would be in the way all the time for the way I would use the boat. There needs to be a kicker on the swim step for trolling and emergencies, and the fish box will go on the swim step as well. Might have a cargo, generator spot for on it also...

Etec, Vtec, SOHC, DOHC, Electronic Fuel Injection Most of this is confusing the heck out of me. I am trying to find out if there is any clear advantage held by either Honda, Suzuki, or Yamaha, and if they all have equivilent technology. I know that Vtec (different cam lobes for different RPM...

Joe Could use a little bit more information on the "inline blowers". Are you actually talking about wiring in blowers to circulate air through the box? and would the generator power them, or would you have to run a 12v circuit to the box?

Does anyone know of a good fabricator near the CD factory working with stainless and could do custom roof racks, arches and masts/mounts for radar etc? I am thinking that a roof rack for a dinghy and on-roof storage for the C-Ranger is going to have to be a custom job unless someone is working...

Does anyone have any experience with the Coolmatic Fridge/Freezer sold by Westmarine. It has some size and wt advantages over the Norcold. The 53 qt is only 24in long but higher and the shipping wt is only 44 lbs. That could also mean less effecient.

I was hoping to raise some discussion with the chart. I don't know if the Volvos will be offered, but they certainly are testing them to see if they will fit in the engine compartment. As you can see they are a little bigger. If they are offered, for the first few boats out, this is the only...

Has anyone had this boat out where they could experience the roll characteristics? Does the hull have hard chines which are effective in dampening the roll from wakes and bigger seas?

Another way is to highlight what you want, copy it, and past it into a Powerpoint slide. Then save the powerpoint slide as an image in what ever format jpg, gif, bmp.

Well, I think the issue here is at lower speeds in the semi planning mode when the bow wants to rise too much.

I wonder if a professional insulator that installs polyurathane foam insulation couldn't help. They insulate walls in existing houses with just a single small hole between studs. I'm not suggesting you drill any holes, however, if you can reach the space with a tube or hose, its possible that...
