Trailers been claimed. Thanks everyone.

I had a roller trailer on our first c-dory (King double axle). It was great, but did require a bit more maintenance. I replaced a few of the rollers while I owned it. I even had one or two pop off while going down the highway. I've also been told they aren't as supportive for the bottom of the...

No, Fort White... hour and a half north of Crystal river

Usually it's me reaping the benefits from this awesome group of folks. So if anyone wants it, holler at me! Otherwise it's going on FB marketplace.

Check out Secco South. We bought a 250' 8 plait rode spliced with 40' of chain from them and it was very reasonable comparatively. I'll probably get flamed for this but I happen to like the claw anchor for what we do. We've run a 22 lb lewmar bruce copy on both of our c-dory's. It's...

So I'm picking up a brand new double axle trailer from 3 rivers Marine in Crystal River this weekend. Very excited. This leaves me with our 2007 model year Load Rite single axle trailer. It's galvanized, tires are only a few years old. It's been reliable up and down the coast from central...

That awful somebody stole it, and as far as I know its gotta be pretty much worthless on its own without the monitor. I hate tweakers. If it was me, I wouldn't replace it. Dense fog with heavy marine traffic isn't something I've experienced yet in Florida. Not saying it doesn't happen, but not...

Sounds like a plan Bob. Thanks for that! Well be sure and be there for the first weekend at least.

Suwannee River

We're going to be there for one of the weekends or both. We're living too close now not to attend, but probably can't miss school or work this year for the official days of the event. We'll at least get to see some early birds and stragglers!

Have you talked to River Supply? I remember they sold a lot of gelcoat products and paints when I lived in Savannah, they may have a lead on how to color match. Good luck with the project. I suppose if you're painting the entire boat, you can pick any color strip you want, color matching isn't...

I like the all white! Don't know if I'd order it that way but I think its great its an option.

Weeki, you might check in Astor. There's a number of riverfront places there that have moorage with them, and when I'm in the area there's empty slips. You'd be within a few miles of Silver Glen Springs and Lake George too.

Another vote for a block of wood. I cut a piece of 2x4 to the width of the engine mount, and lower the engine until its resting on it.

It makes good business sense. I know the margins are small for these builders, and my wild guess says even smaller for the 16 and 19. With all the boat builders focused on this size range for the weekend warrior type recreational boater, it's some tough competition. Whatever it takes to keep...

I have a 2007 BF90, and have experienced exactly what you described a few times, when we first got the boat. First start cold, and the alarm would sound. I'd shut it down, and restart and the problem would go away. I think its happened 3 times. I had actually forgotten about it because it has...

I did just what you did and pitched the cooler for a while. Its great for short trips, or colder weather. The biggest drawback I saw was it doesn't hold a lot of ice, and the ice it does hold melts pretty quick. Also mine leaked. Say you've got a few silvers in there bleeding out, mixing with...

We owned and loved a Parker for a little while. The things I loved about it were it was really heavy, so it handled rough seas like a champ. The build quality and fit and finish was top notch. There was not much to dislike about the boat. The reason I came back to a C-dory was fuel burn. The...

I had twin carb 40 Hondas on my first c-dory, and after learning the expensive way.... always ran the engines out of fuel and drain the remainder from each float bowl using the drain screw. Not only to put up for a season but even when it was going to sit for just a week or two. Its just too...
