Jay and Jolee- Hoping and praying for the best for Jolee's full recovery and good health! Wow! What a trooper! First Mate? Admiral? Saint? (Out of words............!) Joe. :teeth :thup

Sorry, my browser skipped Jim's excellent post above when I came to this topic! :oops:

Bob- Just an idea- Why not record the talk on video and post it on YouTube for all of us that can't attend the get-together to see and hear? A lot of those ideas are brought up over and over again here, and this might be a nice springboard / reference. Complications? Joe. :teeth :thup

Can you post a link to this item? Thanks! Joe. :teeth :thup

Such a tragedy. Rest in peace, friends of the sea. Sailors, mariners, fishermen, and all. Just for informational purposes, "crossing the bar" refers to the sand bar that results from sand going in and out of the harbor with the action of the river carrying sand outward to the ocean and the...

Colby- Hmmmm..........??? Interesting problem. Do you moor the boat much? Experience marine growth? You could always go with a transom mounted transducer with a paddle wheel on a flip-up mount of your own design that would store it up out the water when moored or overnight when on...

Hi! Interesting product, but I suggest you proceed very carefully, which you are. I've never heard of this product or manufacturer. From Japan? Taiwan? Korea? China? European? Elsewhere? Any good optical product will have posted reviews available from reputable magazines, trade journals...

I've used East Penn's MK brand AGM / gel cell batteries on electric handicap scooters for years and there's no comparison with some of the cheaper band alternatives, particularly some of the foreign stuff (Chinese). East Penn also markets batteries under several other names in the US. I'd...

Paul- Sounds like you know what the issues are and how to deal with them with proper care. Good thinking! I had a propane Wedgewood RV 3-burner cooking stove and a Force 10 Cozy Cabin space heater in my CD-22 Cruiser with the propane tank in one side of the engine well and all the necessary...

Tom was a legendary resource of advice and service. So sorry to see him pass. RIP. Joe.

Just curious, but asking anyway: So what does a 300 hp 3.7 "Cox" or a 50 hp Diesel ob weigh? More weight on the stern is a direct enemy of a planing boat. Seems like a heavy diesel ob would be best suited to a small cruiser/tug like the Cutwater 25 with owners that would be happier at...

Thank You, Reverend Bob! Now we return you to your regular Sunday School Programming from C-Dory Central....... :note :note :note :note :note :note :note :note :note :note :note :lol: Joe. :teeth :thup

Look closely between the photos, and you'll find this: "Merry shot some topside photos of the smoky sunrise, Lake Pacific at Marineland and SpaceX's nose-cone-catching boat, Mr. Steven." Like to see how that boat works? :smiled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWF_Guh9k5w...

Rich- Your photo album really documents all the great modifications and improvements you've made on your boat and is worth the price of admission alone! :lol: Much nicer than just looking at the list alone. Nice work! Well thought out and executed. Qualifies as one of those older boats...

Some boat/trailer combinations may have the motor's skeg riding high enough for most situations on the road with the motor leg down, but then when you try to enter a driveway, cross a water gutter in a parking lot, a speed bump, or some other uneven feature, the motor's skeg bottoms out...

For clarification: My 1987 Cruiser had two Garboard plugs, one at the bottom center of the v-berth compartment where the Porta-Potti sets, and another at the bottom center of the cabin bulkhead, both to drain the compartment forward of each respective plug. They were brass and easily removable...

After reading this discussion with Jody's and Jay's comments, it sounds like a separate thread on the merits of a Kaboat vs other dinghy alternatives might be a very interesting discussion itself. (?) Joe. :teeth :thup

Tom and Susan- Sorry for your loss of Shadow. Not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but we all go through this, usually several times or more in our lives. Perhaps this will help- It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every...

Mark- Might have been the Ranger 21 Tug? (Using two photos in case one disappears from web site.) Joe. :teeth :thup
