Back of the tach is likely right. Same thing happened to me not long ago. From the helm and while watching the tach I just reached around and fiddled with the wires on the back of the tach and found the problem with out even stopping the boat. It was a loose connection. Dan

Thems the kind that took down the 730' Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior. Yikes!!

This site is the best place in the world to buy or sell a C dory. Though we did not buy our boat off this site, we used the site to indicate interest in buying. I posted a wanted to buy, was contacted by 3 individuals wanting to sell. The boat we bought was owned by a brat that rarely posted...

For those interested here are several more good links. The first one is slow to load but actually includes the slick's expected course all the way to 5/3: http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu/~zheng/resea ... index.html This one has a lot of info, haven't even been through it all yet...

Thanks for the link Bob, I will be looking at it a lot. The 30 miles of barriers you write of, where are they, who has them, what are they???? Sure hope we can get out of this one somehow! Dan

Thanks Mike, What's the secret?

Wow lots of good stuff coming out. Thanks very much for all of your thoughtful responses. Bob, you amaze me again with your knowledge. My contractor is a very experienced boathouse builder. In fact about 90% of the newer boathouses in the upper Bon Secour area were built by him. He does jet...

Charlie, Our trailer has rollers. So no help there. Thanks Texans, I have considered the sling option, but have plenty of water for the bunk style. I think I can get what I need from Mike. Dan

Mike, Almost exactly!!!! Good deal. Thanks much. Can you get out your tape and shoot me some length, width, stringer spacing numbers? How high is yours? We are allowing for 6' of air at high tide. Dan

Marc, You must be seeing a CD25 in our future. :wink: Ol buddy, you'll be the first to know if/when that happens. Ya, the wet portion of the boathouse will be 9 1/2' wide, 30' long, with a lift capacity of 7500 lbs. I sure hope somebody can give me some measurements for the lift. Dan

Our new boathouse will be going up next week. There must be a number of y'all using lifts. We're hoping not to have to re-invent the wheel and go through a lot of trial and error. I am very interested in knowing what type of cradle works best, where the boat rests best in the cradle, and...

Fine lookin yungins Mike, glad they had fun. Dan

O.K. Here goes, We were driving maybe 30 mph N. on 161 from the Orange Beach bait shop to the new launch near Tacky Jacks when a young man (Spring Breaker) in a small SUV in front of us realized that he was about to miss his turn. He stood on his brakes and put on his turn signal leaving me...
