Hi Folks, Contact the Dealer or Factory. I had the same problem. The Factory sent me a few end pieces. Rail is fixed. Fred

Hi Folks, Good story and two good topics. As for the boarding ladder, I purchased a ladder from West Marine and PERMENTLY ATTACHED it to my starboard stern. I do a lot of singlehanded boating and if I slip and go overboard I want to get back on board. More lives are lost on people falling...

Hi Folks, I use CETROL once or twice a year. Does not peel. Looks great.I like the wood look of the wood rails. Use regular marine.

Pat, Thank you for setting me straight. I have a very interesting story along this thread. Back in 1993, when Sheila and I were trying to buy the Inn, we were trying to refinance our two family house in Hingham. Both of us were unemployed at the time. We went to the Bank we had been doing...

Hi Folks, I thought I would put my two cents in this discussion. Nobody mentioned DISCOVER. No annual fee, cash back on all purchases with extra cash for some spacific areas. These run for about three months. They are up on any hankie-pankie on your card. I got a call from them about somebody...

Hi Folks, Getting a FREE INSPECTION from either the USPS or the USCGAUX makes good sense. Before I put my boat in the water every year, I give myself an inspection. (I am a USCGAux OPFAC so I have another decal.) Then I have no worry. As for thw three girls on the bow, legs dangling, and no...

Harper, You have just started a "love affair" with a boat. Don't worry, we all catch it. It will not kill you. It will make you happy and you will live much longer. Your stress level will diminish to "zero" Welcome, Fred

Hi Folks, Just a quick comment about the Erie Canal. It has to be one of the best cruising grounds for a C-Dory. FREE DOCKING, FREE SHOWERS, and FREE LAUNDRY. Plenty of motels along the way if you want to go ashore. Very interesting old cities, all built during the beginning of the industrial...

Hi Folks, Last Sunday my wife and I were cutting through Marshfield Massachusetts on Damons Point Road when my wife, Sheila spotted a 22' C-Dory hidden behind a fence. I stopped and met Ron Mcallister who had purchased the C-dory from a storage Yard in Marion MA. He was going to purchase a new...

Hi Folks, I believe that we do not need to formalize any site to get us to help other C-Dory owners. I think it is in our nature. I introduce my self to every C-Dory owner I see in the Boston and Nantucket area so if there is anything I can do to help, call on me. I also welcome them. If I...

Great site. Thank you. Fred

Gee Bill and El, I thought FRED's RIB HOUSE in Brockport New York was one of your favorite eating places? It was mine. I wonder why? Fred

Hi Folks, For what it is worth. In Massachusetts I get hit for a boat tax of $25.00 from both Nantucket and Hingham. I only have to pay one. For the Trailer, the tax is $40.00. They seam to think the trailer is worth more than the boat. My point is that there may not be double taxation. Fred

Nice song. Bernie is gone. Now to get Ruth's money. Pillow talk has to say she knew. Fred

Hi Folks, I have a 1983 Classic and I love it. Fred

Hi Folks, This is why C-Brats site is so good. When I first saw the Ad for a portable Microwave, I was ready to order it on the spot. I then kept reading the answers, and realized that what the manufacture was saying was to good to be true, A lot like Madoff's returns. It pays to take your...

Hi Folks, My insurance is with Reliable Insurance purchased through a local agent. I found BoatUS to be very expensive. Fred

I shook Richard Nixon's hand in Brockton Massachusetts Train Station when he was running with Ike for the Presidency. didn't wash my hand for a few days until Mom made me do it. I never forgot it. Fred

Richard, you are a genius. Fred

Hi folks, A few years ago, I replaced the carpets with plastic slides. You can buy them at west marine. I can now handle the launch and retrieve by myself. It does not seam to hurt the bottom paint. Word of caution. If you paint the bottom when you have carpets, put wax paper between the...
