just thought i chime in on this bow truster question. a bow truster doesn't make a poor operator better, but it sure does make a good operator better! if your boat can accommodate a truster and your pocket book has money falling out of it, then buy one, you won't be disappointed. a bow truster...

that's awesome, and to think all these years i was using the washing machine! pat

At Christmas all roads lead home! Merry Christmas To All! pat and linda

there is something seriously wrong with you guys. "let it snow a foot", glad it's snowing, it look's beautiful, guys wake up, snow is cold, cold is not good. moving south at the first opportunity! pat

i agree with almos, waist high boots work well for many different applications. we use them all the time. several years ago, i walked into the water to hook the boat to the trailer, totally forgot that my cell phone was in my lower trouser pocket. the phone was destroyed! best regards pat

i seem to have notice a trend in my post over the years. they started as humorous, fun loving type, to, informative as well as fun, and of late, more on the, i'm not having fun, type. my oct. 28th post stated my motivation for this thread. enough said. this will be my last post. best regards to...

Hi boris, Thie original post was for the exchange of information. Not sure how you could consider it wining. While many of us have the where with all to throw our money away in any manner we choose, there are some that just can't afford huge hit's. Sharing info imforms all. Obviously we are all...

interesting statement, "you can cook the books any way you like"! when i read about corporate accounting fraud, or, accountants cooking the books, it's all about deception. when i stated this thread deception was not in my thought process nor do i believe it was the case with any response thus...

my motivation for the original post was a recent post from Amanda, who is offering her 25' c-dory for sale. her 2009 boat was purchased little over a year ago and it would appear she's likely to take a small beating, price wise, to sell it. what i found interesting regarding her post was her...

so, just for the fun of it i decided to figure out how much this boating gig has cost me over the past 20 years. i would love to hear your story as well! lost 25' maxum, cost + tax = 26000 sold for 23,000 -...

hi greg, is your goal to mount the antenna onto the radar arch? if you check out my album, i had two 8' antennas installed, one on each side of the cabin. it turned out very salty looking and can't tell you how many people commented on them. or, i would drill out one of the other arch legs for...

hi tug, 10 years! dude, that's a dream around my neck of the woods! where i'm located there are only a few facilities that have inside work areas large enough to suspend the boat off the trailer so that the hull is completely free to sand and paint. our weather here would not normally permit...

ok, based upon charlie's demand, i am now sitting in the corner, drinking a cold one! dude or dudess, makes no difference to me. pat were did the boating season go? feels like we just launched our boat, and now she's high and dry!

hello amanda, first off, it sounds like you are the interesting person and it is us that are honored to have you aboard! i agree with everything you stated. boating must be fun or why else would we do it? if money can't contribute to our happiness, then why have it? so, you and the rest of us...

while boating on inland lakes and water ways, (the ohio river) i can only manage about 2 or 3 years at the best. beyond that and you begin to operate your boat with heavy carpet like stuff on the hull. my boat is in the shop as we speak having new bottom paint applied. total cost is 645. plus...

many reasons contribute for the decision to sell a boat. health, capital, job security questioned after the purchase, monthly payments and of course buyers remorse. in my humble opinion, the difference in handling a 16' vs: a 25' boat, when talking about a c-dory, is negligible. not all 25'...

hello amanda, first, i'm sorry to hear your boating experience has not went according to plan. second, sorry to hear you have decided to sell your boat. don't think you could have picked a worst time to depart with your newly purchased treasure. i personally can't say if $90,000. is a deal or...

1. pee bottle (had a hard time passing the pee bottle around) 2. manuel pump head (brings outside water into head and holding tank) 3. electric head (worked well) 4. vacuum flush head (currently have this system in my boat, works well) at one time or another i have used the above listed items...

congrats on the sale, mike! love the new boat, must feel like 1000 sq. ft. over the old gypsy! keep us informed on your travels and remember, not all c-dory owners are c-brats and not all c-brats own c-dory's! it's the passion for boating and good fellowship that bonds us. please extend a big...

prior to my current boat, my anchor of choice was the danforth. worked reasonably well, but was a bit awkward. had the two ends sticking out and returning it to the anchor roller presented a challenge if the flukes reversed themselves while pulling it up. my current boat has the delta-plow...
