Tom, Did you notice the profit (ME) 73%.

There is a great opportunity for a dealer here in the Northeast who would ACTIVELY represent and show the C-Dorys at the various boat shows (Portland, ME/Newport, RI/ Boston) of the region. The boating conditions are similar to the PNW (without the great fishing) and the interest in my boat at...

1) The wife is a teacher. 2) Sailed the Great Lakes for 6 years on a 30ft sail boat. 3) Strapped a bag on and motorcyle camped the Ozarks "in my youth". Also owned two VWs.

Another member of the third group, just past 8 years, have used all three of the various fuels (diesel, kerosene & Kleen Heat).

Rick, Glad you enjoyed the cruise, thanks for the kind words! We enjoyed the planning and the cruising. Dave

My 2003 Honda 90 tilt indicator seem to have a memory issue. If the motor has been up, the indicator slowly responds to tilt down. If it has been down, it slowly responds to up tilt. It can take as long as 5 min for the true position to be displayed correctly. The little black lever at the...

I went through this several years ago and yes you have to remove the hose and as mentioned it is a PIA. The deck plate on my boat had no sealer whatsoever so it came right off. Of course, no sealer meant water intrusion into the plywood core of the gunwale. I replaced the chain with a cable from...

Don't discount the Great Lakes /Erie Canal as late as the third week of October; I have cruised the North Channel mid October several times and found it beautiful (fall colors), bug-less, and deserted (quiet). David

Thanks guys! You know how often I check in on the site so you know how much I enjoy it. David

My "goal post" guides are very stiff with 1.5" galvanized square tube covered by 2" PVC pipe. Overton"s refers to these as "post guides". Widget can still settle off center since the widest beam occurs amidship and narrows aft at the transom.

teflonmom I've given thought to a RF246 and would like you to go a little deeper into why the 22 was better for the canal/lakes?

Are you kidding? With all the lobster pot floats here in Maine a spare is not an option. I have changed props in open water from the swim step several times. Always have spare nut, washer and cotter pin. Honda seems to have a nut size different from all others so check your wrench/socket.

You can get a trailer on or off the hitch even if the coupler lever is locked on the trailer and the receiver is locked to the vehicle hitch; with the proper size wrench/socket the spring loaded fork can be dropped out the bottom of the coupler. Don't ask me how I know this (you might ask Ric...

Why moor? First, you must understand that in the Northeast mooring means on a mooring ball that you row/motor your dinghy out to in order to get to your C-Dory, not a slip. Why? Try 12 ft tides that make ramps unuseable for two or three hours around low tide and a scarcity of floating slips that...

Nice job Roger! Will the holes in the stainless steel L-brackets line-up wth the epoxy filled areas of the original brackets?

Sorry to hear of your aunt's condition. My mother spent three horrific years of progressive paralysis until the end. The stress of being helpless and hopeless was the demise of my father. I am keenly aware of this killer disease, especially since Gulf War veterans (of which I am) are at an...

The Benjamins, Oak Harbor, the abondoned mill town on Cockburn Island. Gore Bay & Meldrum for provisions and dinning ashore.

John was excellent at getting things done and staying in touch. Unfortunately, he left the dealership soon after the photo debacle referred to by TyBoo. Since that time I tried to have some hull warranty issues addressed by David and spent (wasted) 3 months with unreturned calls and emails and...

I installed a longer, wider and higher step this past fall and its worke out so well that I wish I'd done this much sooner. Got the idea from Dave on Alma's Only, (thanks). Pictures posted in Widget's album.
