Mike, Sounds you've assembled a slick new system, beats the 17" laptop we use on our boat. Remember, the stupid crabs will find your pots in short order, the smart ones may require a bit more movie viewing on your part. Jerry

Dennis, Welcome and congratulations on your purchase of a fine boat!

You have a very high quality, expensive, and heavy transducer and should exercise care when installing it. I don't know if the usual starboard mount will withstand the weight and forces generated on a transducer of this size and weight. As for location, the Tomcat owners are better qualified...

Most every difference has already been covered well. I'll add that the new Ventures can be purchased as a "Sport" Model which has the fiberglass interior of the 22 and lacks the extras of the older 23's. Check out Sportcraft Marina website for pictures of the newer layout of the 23 Sport. As...

Rich, Is your charger set for AGM or Lead Acid wet cells? Just a thought.

Richard, Maybe this link will help answer your coverage question for the NT+ cards.http://ww1.jeppesen.com/marine/lightmar ... Local,Wide

Our 2013 Suzuki 9.9 is not injected and I don't run it raised because the manual states not to run it in a full tilt position (oil pressure concerns).

I have the same engine configuration as you and flush them in one of two ways. First, warm the engines then shut off and use the flushing ports with the engines in tilt position. Second, you can tighten (using a bungee cord) your ear muffs and place them on the 9.9, then lower the engine and...

My Thanks to Dr. Bob for posting the link to Boat US. Many of us have felt disenfranchised from our government for some time (mine started in 2000) but it serves no useful purpose to just complain. I encourage everyone to direct your comments to the folks responsible and use the link and give...

We had our 2004 CD25 top built by King but we picked it up from the CD factory, hauled it back to Oregon and then installed it following Dave's instructions. Overall, it was a good top but lacked specific features that we have on our 23V top which we designed and built ourselves. My advice...

Congratulations EV14, You won't be disappointed with the performance and economy of the Suzuki engines (boat will fly). A plus is that your economy at slow and cruise speeds may surprise you. We have the same power combo on our 23 Venture and are very satisfied with both speed, economy, and...

We have a Power Mover three-wheel model (about 15 years old) and it has worked great for moving: 26 Olympic, 25 C-Dory, and our present 23 Venture. Our situation is somewhat unique in that we only have about 5" inches clearance on each side with the Venture and less when we owned the Olympic or...

Our 2013 Venture with full fuel and water but medium equipment load weighed 5150lb.

We ordered our 23 Venture from Sportcraft and echo earlier comments. The staff and owners Larry and Ryan are top notch people to deal with and the follow through after the sale is what service should be. We purchase all of our supplies for the Suzuki engines from Sportcraft even though we live...

Congratulations Les, This marriage between Nordic Tug and your Marinaut sounds like a major winner for you and future customers as well. Are there any plans for a larger model of the Marinaut in your future? Best wishes, Jerry and Helen

Tom, Our 25 was the older style deck so we ordered it with this in floor fish box (I designed it and Les made sure it was done right) with macerator which replaced the under deck holding tank for the head. We went with the Sealand traveler head (9gal. self contained holding tank). I think...

A C-Dory 25 can be ordered with a large fish/storage box if desired. We ordered ours with the one above in 2004. Equipped with a macerator/pump out it was large enough to hold a 110lb Halibut or 9.5' deflated Achilles dingy .

Tom, Your boat is a special unit in that not many were made, most have been modified, and as you pointed out, few are configured like your 27. This uniqueness makes your boat difficult if not impossible to value. When we sold our 1992 25 Bounty, we encountered the same problem, when the buyer...

I don't own a dragonfly unit but our Raymarine C127 multifunction with radar works sweet and the new software makes everything so easy to use.

Brent, our machine (Helen's) is an LSZ-1 and you might consider the premium model if you want to make a top. Helen noted that the roping foot left, 1" swing away binding attachment, monster balance wheel, and light attachment were all essential in the sewing of the top. The premium model...
