Can you post some photos of this boat. I wasn't aware that C-Dory ever made an electric "martini launch." I seem to recall that Ranger made some based on the Ranger 21 hull. It would be interesting to see what you are working with.

Just read a report that said it is free floating.

In Navin's defense, that name was suggested to him... he just went along with it. I was just having fun with Pat. If it gets to be beyond fun, feel free to call me Navin's dog's name, and I will publicly apologize and put myself in a time-out. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings... well...

And, that's how rumors get started. 8) I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but I forget if it is slander or libel to make untrue public remarks. :twisted: Kinda like figuring out if it is ignorance or apathy in not doing a search... I don't know, and I don't care. :wink: To...

Once the anchor line is out, tie a rolling hitch onto that just beyond the anchor roller. Let out another 5 or 6' of line. Take the bitter end of the line you just tied and run it back to a cleat further aft (outside the bow rails). Pull that line until you get an angle that feels comfortable...

We had a Corsair F27 when we ordered the CD-25. I used a bridle when anchoring the Corsair, and it sat pretty good. The flat(ish) bottom on the CD-25 is not "rolly" at anchor (like a v-hull that size tends to be), but it does sail around a bit. You can control that somewhat by putting a...

The CD-25 is more than a ton heavier than the CD-22. That said, with the short distance and low speed that the OP is considering, I'm sure the truck is up for it, even if the insurance company may not be. Benefit vs risk. If it were me, and that is the truck, I'd do that... with a polite...

Thanks, Marty. We spent most of last summer in our motorhome (great way to socially distance) in the Black Hills. We shot in the "Art Alley" in Rapid City, South Dakota; the light was perfect when I went to check it out, and told Joan, "Now - we've got about an hour of this good light!" My...

Something lighter... Last September, well before anyone knew if or when vaccines may be approved, my music partner and I did this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsvU6Pirvi8

That app needs to get external GPS from somewhere. Yes, it will pull GPS data from your phone... so you get to use two devices to do what one will do if you have a cellular capable iPad. Take your iPad out on its own with that app (leave your phone home) and see if you get GPS navigation. Not...

And, in Texas, literally 3 days before the start of the biggest spring break week, our Governor has "opened up Texas 100%." Too soon (my opinion). I am a big supporter of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, this move undercuts what our county was trying to do with making...

That works fine if you just want internet access on your non-cellular capable iPad. However, that still won't make the iPad functional as a marine nav device. It has been stated a couple times in this thread, but let me emphasize: to use the iPad as a nav device, it needs to have the GPS chip...

Our experience has been similar to gulfcoast John's: using Verizon, coast to coast, traveling by boat and RV. Pacific Northwest to the Florida Keys, southern California to Maine. Everywhere in between. We use my phone as a hot spot when traveling. 3mbps is generally enough to do what we want...

Instead of lighting up the Bat-signal, maybe we need the "snooze alarm." :wink:

So sorry for what you have to deal with, Bob and Marie. Our hearts hurt for you. I wish I had some words to ease the loss. These furry family members give us so much and depend on us for their care and welfare. There is no doubt that you gave Angel a wonderful life. You are right that one...

Congratulations, Dan and Janet - exciting times ahead! I'd suggest you start a new thread with your trip to retrieve the boat, so your posts don't get lost in this 18 page thread. Glad to hear you found the boat that will work for you and look forward to hearing about how you use it. Welcome...

Each of the 254 counties in Texas determines its own vaccination protocols. Our county now uses vouchers (at first it was first-come first-served). The next county over uses wristbands. Friends of ours here drove two counties over and actually got an appointment and had less than a half hour...

I get that, Marty. Until vaccinations are available on a more widespread basis here, I think Texas will continue doing it the way they are now. There was a big backlash when the first vaccines were made available on a first-come first-served basis, with no public info released on...

Yep; you have to show ID to get a voucher (in person)’ which allows you to get in line another day to get the vaccine. We are currently parked in one of the many lines at the fairgrounds, waiting for our turn for the second vaccine. We were in line six hours for the first shot; expect this to...

My wife made a Sunbrella storage bag that we could strap to the radar arch on the rare occasion we didn't have the full camperback up. When we stored the boat, that bag/contents would go inside the boat. Like you, we put no longer used blankets/beach towels between the eisenglass panels when...
