Thanks, gents. It's been an interesting 25 years, that's for sure. The CG has been pretty good to me. I've been a part of some amazing things. Entering the civilian workplace after all this time is going to be a huge adjustment. Hope you're enjoying the start of summer, Rick

http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?p=239675#239675 Never thought I'd be posting this...but we've listed the boat for sale. We've had a ton of fun on her, spent many weekends aboard and caught many fish. She's been fantastic. I'll be retiring from the Coast Guard this fall, and this will put...

It's in our Projects album. Here ya go. It's from Cabela's.

We have the Nissan 8hp 4 stroke with electric start, and I believe it's 86 pounds. It will push the boat 7 mph WOT and it trolls excellent. The tie rod to connect to the main is well worth it, IMHO. Yes, you can tilt up and still use it, at least on ours. Rick

Ours is the same idea as Colby's but permanently mounted on a strip of teak and held up with a snap. We love this set up, it's simple, quick and easy. Pics in our Projects album. Discussed here http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=4555 Rick

Ditch your factory 2 step ladder and replace it with a Gaerlick 3 step. It makes a world of difference! Rick

Some one got a helluva nice rig. We had a mess of fun with you guys!

I used Tuff line back in the 90's and it worked good, but I prefer 80 lb Power Pro now. Last 3 years in Kodiak we caught tons of flatties and it never failed us. It holds knots well if you double the line where you tie the knot. Don't know if I'm going to bother this year. After having the...

Whalers are great boats, and their owners are about as rabidly fanatical in their love for them as we are for the C-Dory. I had a 17 Montauk in Alaska and had a ton of good times on her. Welcome! Rick

Congrats you two luvbirds! Here's to many more... :beer

Cancer sucks. Sorry for your loss, man.

I think Ring Free is mostly just for valves and not for keeping fuel fresh. We use Sta-Bil. We have the same engine, a couple years newer, and had sticky carbs and clogged jets last year. A friend at work is an outboard mechanic, and he rebuilt the carbs. He was adamant about draining the carbs...

Welcome, Joe. Like you've already discovered, there's a ton of good info here and lots of good people as well. I'm sure someone near you could show you the ins and outs of the 22. We sure love ours. Rick

Wired in a new socket for electric downrigger and replacing both of our batteries. Got 6 years out of a Wal Mart Maxx 29. I'm pretty happy with that for the house battery. The start battery was even older.

Nice! You're sure to have fun in that.

Carpy, I looked through your album and your camperback looked real familiar...then I saw the Canvas Unique label. They made ours, too. You guys have a nice boat. Rick

Yes. They do most things pretty well and are very seaworthy. The economy of operation and ease of towing, maint, etc is what sold me. There is no other boat in its class as far as I'm concerned. I love not having to put gas in it all the time. We can actually afford to USE it. We are not...

We 'll probably be around during that week, too, we don't usually go anywhere for the 4th. If Bill isn't available, there's plenty of parking at our house, too. We're halfway between PA and Sequim. Rick
