We can't have it both ways. I've a relationship with my local marine shop and he knows that not charging me out the wazoo while still having a decent markup will result in me continuing to buy from him. To us boat owners I say "Support your local dealer and quit being penny pinchers." To...

Hey Marc, If I can find someone to ride from the Atlanta area with me I'll be attending to the gathering. Exactly where in Apalachicola is it held? What's the status on available rooms for Saturday night? Vince Zappia

What a beauty! Anybody know anything about the boat or her builder? CV

One thing that might help the appearance and functionality of the boat being discussed is to: 1) inset the bottom of the cabin walls from the gunnels sufficient to allow transit from bow to stern w/o entering the cabin. The resulting space inside the cabin would make good storage. 2)taper the...

In my ever so humble opinion and having only laid eyes in person on one C-Dory (thank you Charlie) the C-Dory might be a bit more popular in warmer climates if there were an a pilot house with open sides and an open back. Drop curtains and sides could be made for cooler or wet weather. The...

It was never intended to say that Pat said anything "bad". Thats why I chose to use the word "chide". The definition of chide is: to gently reproach someone. W/O inviting a discussion on semantics I simply wanted to set the record straight. CV

Where was a spinner-knob found for under $50? CV

What an incredibly beautiful blending of numerous disciplines of craftsmanship and design. Absolutely a work of art. I had no idea such masterpieces were being created. Thank goodness for millionaires. CV

In one post Pat Anderson encourages folks to buy new C-Dorys and in another post chides an individual for purchasing a new boat from another manufacturer. Huh? As far as the "conspicuous consumption" comment goes: Couldn't it be argued that very few of us boat owners actually "need" a boat...

Beautiful and functional. A great platform to create what i want but way too far away to consider. Zap

There is a 22' Skiff C-Dory for sale in Eastpoint Fla. I'm tire kicking and don't want to take up Wefings time but I am curious about the skiff/center console description. The C-Dory site doesn't mention a skiff or a center console. Anyone who is knowledgeable about this model is asked to...

Excellent video. Thanks for the information. Got a couple of questions. 1)Do hatchery salmon reproduce? 2)If so, are their offspring considered wild salmon? CV

Thanks for all the replies. This'll be the "Nancy Gs" first time in salt water since the rebuild and the first time ever for the 8 year old new to me Yamaha 70; just being a bit over protective. CV

I've heard of a homebrew recipe that is said to be equivilant to a product that is said to neutralize salt water. Or at least the corrosive effects it has on metal. This recipe revolved around getting an MSDS sheet for the product in question and finding out that it was essentially, if I recall...

Thanks Mike.

Not a problem waiting. I just wasn't sure I was being heard. Thanks to the administrators for what they do. CV

I can't get in touch with whomever is in charge of setting up a photo album and have sent 2 PMs. Assistance is needed. Thanks, Vince (cruiserlessvinny) Zappia

Preventing water from (eventually) getting to wood that is encased in fiberglass is difficult if not impossible. The closer to the bilge you get the more likely this is to happen. When it's in the bige it will happen. So whats a boater to do? Go to rotdoctor.com for information on what to do...

On the right side of the photograph there are telgraphed shadows of the mysterious (to me) red stripes. My best guess for the origins of your problem is moisture/water/vapor causing the not-so-flexible gelcoat/paint to release its' bond and flake off. Anytime any paint/gelcoat behaves in this...
