    03/05 - 03/07 - Hontoon Island, Florida CBGT

    Responsibilities will keep us from making the slow cruise north after the event, but would like to meet back up at Cumberland Island if the timing is right. We've been wanting to explore the ruins at Dungeness and do some hiking around there. Its an unpredictable time of year weather wise in...

    03/05 - 03/07 - Hontoon Island, Florida CBGT

    We'll be there. I didn't want to commit until I was sure we all could get out off work and school, but it looks good! We're planning to come down the Saturday before and leave the following Saturday. Hopefully explore some blue springs and catch some of those humungous black crappie I hooked...

    Gps with built in antenna

    I removed the GPS antenna on the roof of our boat when I realized it wasn't hooked up to anything. The Garmin picks up satellites right away with no issues.

    Thru Hull Transducers

    I'm not familiar with this exact model, but we did have a Airmar 1kw thru-hull transducer on our Parker. Bottom paint did not stick to it, and for that matter I don't believe it was suppose to be painted... so it was always the first thing to grow barnacles and foul on the boat, followed by the...

    C-Dory 26 Venture vs. Lakes Michigan and Huron

    The c-dory does a lot of things really well. Going offshore isn't one of them, Tomcat being the exception. If you need a boat with a cabin and a more comfortable ride, look at brands like Steigercraft, Parker, Shamrock, Albin 28 tournament express, Skagit Orca, Seasport, I could go on all day...

    Relative (Marbin Marine) For Sale in Edmonds Washington

    I love it. If we still lived in the north Puget Sound I'd seriously consider it. For the skinny water around Georgia and Florida that we haunt now, the shallow draft c-dory is a better boat for us.

    Honda BF40 flush

    This feature was added in 2007 I believe, when they revamped the entire Honda 4 stroke lineup. Fuel injection was also gained that year, and was a big improvement to all of us that have fought those microscopic carburetor jets in the previous generation. We had twin 2003 BF40s and would leave...

    Cracks on top of gunnel

    Our boat has these where the gunnel is joined with cabin. Always assumed this is just where some extra gelcoat was applied. I don't worry about it, since its not structural.

    Battery Choices

    Some may have been configured this way, but our 2003 with twin hondas was not. You could start both engines with the battery switch positioned in the #1 or #2 position. No requirement for this, its all in the wiring.

    So, then there is this....

    First, I want to say this was an interesting read. I hope to follow along. He comes off like a spoiled child with his interactions with the boat house. I don't know how people who pay cash for a $300k+ boat normally behave, but I felt really sorry for Dave and Brad who had to navigate the deal...

    Question about splash well designs on C-dorys.

    I admit I've never attempted to put crab in the fish bag. The material is soft plastic and wouldn't hold up to crab. We pack a real cooler in the cockpit when going after crab.

    Question about splash well designs on C-dorys.

    That was a custom fish box that he had made for the boat. It was top quality and had two doors. Helped put a number of fish in that box and it worked well but was not very large. I considered having a similar box built for our 22, but in the end couldn't justify the cost. The 22 would allow...

    composting toilet

    2) If being used by two people, ... they must be emptied after three days, at most. Who says? The regular tank is 2.5 gallons, and a 5 gallon porta potty can fit in that space if more is needed. If we're remote enough to not have a bathroom to use nearby, #1 can usually go over the gunnel...
