As far as I'm concerned these pieces are works of art. Ron

Thanks for the updates on the USS Fitzgerald incident. Very interesting. Ron

Sure seems to me to be a "Gotcha!" For good old April Fools day :)

Not to discourage you regarding the c-dory,a great vessel, but you may want to check out the Rosborough line. We had a RF25 for several years. These boats are very amenable to modification or use "as is". Good luck. Ron

A little off topic, but interesting. We boated on Lake Champlain for 40 years. The most difficult transmissions to understand originated with the Burlington Coast Guard station. When they made a broadcast it seemed that they thought they had about 7 seconds to get it all in. For instance...

Hi Gene & Mary, We had had the Raymarine C120 multi screen display on our 25' Rosborough. It included depth sounder as well as radar and chart plotter. As you probably know you can toggle between full screen on each display, have 2 displays showing or have all 3 up at the same time. On Lake...

Instead of using the 50' shore power cord, you can buy a 10' or 12' (I forget which) one and the pigtail adaptor. Easier to handle in small quarters and avoids the hassle and possibly tripping over the excess cord. This worked out very nicely when we had our Rosborough. Good Luck. Ron

Sounds like a very nice deal. Too bad we're over 3000 miles away. Ron

Just sold my 2008 RF 246. Great boat. Yes- I definitely would buy another one. Ron

We don't have a C-Dory, but a Rosborough. Our boat was called " cute" last summer by a landlubber. Call my boat "nice looking", "different","great looking"," lobstery" "weird looking", even ugly-just don't call it "cute". Just one of my personal Quirks I guess:-) Ron

This happens to be one of my "pet peeves". Namely the inflated supposed cost of SAR missions. The way I read it, full pay, benefits, vacation time, insurances etc are pro rated to a daily basis and included in the SAR expense. Also seem to be included is the depreciation on the "assets"...

bcassal, Not to take anything away from C Dory, they are a fine boat. But about 155 miles from you in Oak Harbor there is a Rosorough dealer, EQ Marine. They have a website. I recently bought a Rosborough. You may want to check this out. There is also a Rosborough dealer closer to your...

John, I think same rule applies here on Lake Champlain. Thanks. Ron

This topic has run its course and just want to thank you all for your comments. I gathered some good facts and information and opinions. Thanks again, Ron

Thataway--Sorry Bob-just went over all the posts on this topic and realised that I read your comment regarding SeaLand heads as "Electra San" How I did that--I don't know! That may fill the bill nicely. Ron

Byrdman, Would love to make the Portland show, but will be in Florida during that time. That also would be a good excuse to pig out on lobster and other sea food. If I read your profile right, you guys are coming up from Tennessee? Quite a haul, but normal for those of into boats. Sarge...

Thataway-Regarding the Electra San- from what I gather these are more suited for salt water and overboard discharge? Let me know if that is in error. Being on Lake Champlain anything that has the possibility of overboard is seriously suspicious when being boarded by CG or State Police water...

thataway, Thanks for your input. Your opinions, based on experiance, are highly regarded on this and at least one other popular forum. I never fail to read your posts regardless of the subject. We probably could make do on a 25' Dory. There is just the wife and I. Very rarely do we have...

jamestxds, Thanks for the info. Somehow I misssed that topic last week. That's quite an eye opener-the pics,comments and price tag. As someone said-good luck on sales. Been thinking of possibly downsizing to something in 25' range from our 1986 Searay 34' sedan bridge. Only problem is we...

Has anybody heard prices of new Venture 29 yet? Dealers are kind of close mouthed about this on line. Thanks. Ron
