Chris, I too like your wood top. I've been going to make a cobia fishing tower for our boat and this gives me some ideas. I am sending you a PM. Dan

Matt, Expansion and contraction are something you can count on by changing the temperature of metal. It is easily measurable with a micrometer. Go ahead and ice the whole lower unit as SC Tom recomends it may work fine. But if it doesn't, no problem you are halfway home. While everything is...

A one inch to foot scale model would be very cool no doubt. With some time and a nice block of clear cedar it could be done. BUT, where am I gonna find a couple little tiny Honda 40's? Anyone ever hear of model outboards? Dan

Very nice job, Pat

Mike, You almost got it right. The Crimson Tide last year and now the Tigers this year. Let there be no doubt: ALABAMA FOOTBALL RULES!!!

Brenton, There seems to be quite a few brats that prefer bunks. Here is what I wonder: 1. Have they ever had rollers? 2. Boat coming off the trailer???? Really! Foremost holding the boat on the trailer is the winch strap, backed up by the safety chain...

Anybody else not able to see Moose's pic? Denise and I have lived most of our lives in Duluth and we are curious what would be cool enough for ol Moose to get cold over!!!! :wink We will head back there soon to spend some holiday time with our relatives. Even if we only stay a week, there is...

Good Deal, Bob and Marie, Denise and I are very glad to hear that you have had such a good outcome. Our prayers have been answered. We really did not want to even consider a new gulf coast dockmaster. When you get back home, call if you need help with anything. 251-949-5229 We'll come a...

O.K., We have the engines running now, barely. They will idle long enough to shift into gear and then will top out at only 4,000 rpm. Me thinks the high speed jets are still plugged up. There is one oz. per gallon of Berrymans in the gas (premium). Is there any chance that with a little time...

Wow, this thread just happened at the right time. We returned south recently to find our boat in a world of hurt because nobody ever told us that you have to "SUMMERIZE" your boat. We had followed northern Minnesota protocol and added a rich dose of Sea Foam to the gas, covered her up with a...

Marc, We appreciate the enlightenment concerning Panga boats. They were brought to my attention some years ago by a good friend in Gulf Shores. If there were no C-dories I would have one. The coolaid I guzzled was from the FAQ page on Pangamarine's site: Is this is a falsehood? I guess for...

Don't know if a swap can be found but I do know that these are pretty cool boats. They make quite a few different models. http://www.pangamarine.com/index.html There is an 18'er on the Bon Secour River about 2 blocks from us and I have looked it over with a bit of lust in my heart. Great...

Denise and I wish you the very best, kind sir. We'll be back home in a couple weeks and will check with you and Marie. Dan

Come on Pat, These good folks had their gathering all over this site. We were all invited to attend! Alas, we missed out as well. :cry That said though, you guys can expect velvet covered invites to the next Gulf Coast Gathering. We'll call it the International C-Brat Gathering!!!! Get by...

Very interesting and cool lookin boat and "minty" from what I can tell. Congratulations, both of you. :thup Dan

Allen, I thought it was "Roll Tide Roll". :wink Y'all have fun now ya hear!!! Dan

Wow, Since I started my reply ( a long phone call happened) both Matt and Tyboo have made my post rather ridiculus. Anyway good luck Wurst!!!!!!!!!!! Dan P.S. Tortuga Matt :thup :thup :thup :thup Great job.

Wurst, Welcome aboard the Brats! Harvey is quite correct, your friend knows nothing about these boats. I am 6'2" and have no problem at the helm. The boats will get you home, you just need to adjust speed wise for what you are presented with. Good luck in your quest to find a C-dory. Get...

Good fer yew Red, Though we run twin Honda 40's and love them, rarely do whip up all of our horses. WEIGHT requires more WEIGHT to move it. Any time you can reduce weight you can reduce the power needed to move it which reduces even more weight Thanks for bringing this new motor to our...
