Thanks Tom, Oh great so I can soften My skin while protecting the engines, lol, Remember Madge in the Palmolive dish soap commercials. Any Idea how it compares in price? While I'm not terribly convinced that any of these are used enough to matter for the environment, when used as directed, But...

Hi David, That was you? Awesome....Then you enjoyed the rockets as well. At that time I didn't yet even know how to turn on the radio let alone use it. I had never owned a radio that worked well and there were not yet binoculars onboard. I had just launched the day before for the first time. I...

I never swam there. Some day on some lonely visit I will.

I recently had someone tell me that during a blow out of the north, on lake George FL, that the troughs were so deep that a few boats touched the bottom in the middle of the lake. Is this possible or is it perhaps the result of experienced story tellers? In support I see That a north wind would...

The list goes on and on and I haven't even approached electronics yet. Thankful to the previous owners for leaving me with a pretty complete and dependable boat. Yesterday I installed the Bimini. Done! Today I will install a better spare tire carrier. I'll also replace the damaged rubber or...

I hear that.....

It's multiple stuff, internal stuff. a bad knee and some kidney stuff and diabetes that I'm finally facing. Starting to feel better but trying to put knee off until fall. The boat will be there. I am hoping to be at the Northern Chesapeake AGLCA Rendezvous next weekend. I'll be the guy in the...

Yes we wanted to use it for a while until we can agree on a proper place to put the eye. You see we bought this cheap but very big bimini knowing we'd want all the shade we could muster. When we tried a few places that were inboard further we noticed that the top wobbled more and went crooked...

Some photos on Facebook. Came out nice.

In 1994 when I bought a 25' Sailboat I used old silk firehose that I got at the college I worked for. I was the assistant super and was in charge of switching out all the emergency fire hoses on campus. I wish I'd have kept it all. The Claw I have in use is slightly over sized (16.5) for my boat...

We bought an inexpensive aluminum Bimini complete with junky plastic fittings from Carver. It is tall enough for me and nice to look at. We think it will serve us well for a period of time. We're in the middle of the install right now and can't decide where to put the front strap receivers...

I have no fairleads on the boat yet. I also did not find any chafing gear. will look again. I was more worried about anchoring in too shallow of water and hitting bottom in every passing trough when a storm comes up... I'm building my anchor gear. Slowly. So far I only have 150' of 1/2" dbl...

Yes.

That is what I was worried about. I had been a large Carolina Skiff Owner and being a rank amateur I never worried about such things...didn't even know I should've been worried. But now, with the more nuanced hull shape I have begun to think about it more....what did I get away with all those...

I supposedly draw 7-10" with motors up. Down near Hontoon I found a large pond off the St.Johns that was marked on Aquacharts as being only 1.9' deep. I noticed another C-Dory bobbing nicely at anchor there and so I lifted my motors and joined them. I watch two rocket launchings and had a great...
