Nicely done, and very well documented. Thank you!

You should be looking for SS rub strakes (they are quarter round, not half round.) Get 315 SS. There are many on Amazon. Not chrome plated. The chrome will wear plated brass will wear. IF you had a classic mahogany runabout, then I might consider chrome plated deck hardware to be period...

Also remember alcohol is lighter than water, and will "float". This is important if you have a fire--do not put water on it. Fire blanket, Halon type or dry powder (last choice) for suppression. I have seen several boats burn because the owner threw water on an alcohol fire, and the fire then...

Finding a 19 of that vintage is probably going to be difficult. I would broaden my search for any 19 (or 18 if one of those rare birds came up). You can always upgrade power to 90--although most will be a 90 hp. The only difference between a 22 angler and the 19 is not a lot. All of the...

We observed that the end of Sept gas docks were being shut down, although we were able to obtain fuel, some marinas had run out of gas and were not refilling their storage tank. Only one place did we have to back track a few miles to get fuel.

The photographs show an exquisitely built out and maintained boat. It looks like new, and is probably one of the best outfitted 16' C Dorys I have seen. The seller apparently had some minor details with Craigs lists "rules", and tells me in a PM that it will be posted again. I think anyone...

Contact either TyBoo or DaNag, these are the administrators, and have the power to give you an album. They are the second and third people on the "member list" in the header.

What a well scripted ad for a C Dory! This seems like one of the best equipped 16's I have seen. The Craigs List: . so no photos. Apparently you have accidentally violated the CL terms of use. I have never seen this before, and I am sure is not intentional. You do not seem to have a...

I agree with your analysis of the speed, since I had a 130 Honda on my first 2003 C Dory 25. I had investigated switching to the Suzuki 140 that I have on my Caracal. My assessment was that the difference would be minimal. My experience using the smaller 130 Honda in Alaska with a heavily...

Bayfield would also be a great venue.

I have used Collinite 885 Fleetwax on SS, after cleaing with the Collinite SS cleaner. I also use Collinite wax on my fiberglass. They have specialized products which work well. I try and avoid any SS fittings made in China--even some labeled 316 have had more corrosion than I find expectable.

I have been up the Clint River to the dam at Norris Lake. We have relatives who boat on the lake regularly. Their family has a lake house and dock there. It is subject to the rules of other TVA lakes. Anchoring is not a problem. You have to display an anchor light at night.

Conan, it sounds like you are volunteering to host a gathering there. Looks like a great place to me. Does the marina have open slips for the 20 or so boats you would have? Is there a campground nearby (not essential), Where is the nearest launch ramp? Is rig parking secure there, or is...

Boris, Sorry to see you are selling your boat...I suspect your reason is the same mine is...life is timing out on us old guys!

Why do you assume the reel will level wind? The chain will then drag along the deck. what are you doing to protect the deck? If you are using the mounting holes of the cleat, that means moving the reel further forward. With no bow cleat, how are you going to atatch snubbers? How about bow...

Here is your image of the drum and chain cross the deck. How is this going to clear the large center cleat as it level winds (?) are. you going to have to guide the line to keep it level winding? I see a lot of problems with what you propose. How much line will that drum hold? Are you going...

Fairlead to the drum will very with the place the line on the drum is when the anchor is fully up and seated. The height will be dependent on the line coming off the top or bottom of the drum. The anchor line (probably chain) will always be a tripping hazard on the foredeck. The chain may...

I usually use the tool for unsnapping, but it may well work for snapping. I also put wax on the male part of the snap, to make it easier. A little on the ring of the female also helps. Starbrite makes a cleaner/ lubricant for snaps and zippers. Super Lube also works well, both have some...

That boat looks like one of the best buys seen on this forum recently! The boat should sell quickly.

Start at the stern and work toward the bow, reaching outside to snap each snap. Last snap should be at the cabin and will be on the cabin side if like the ones I have owned.
