I had a great week last January at Bahia Honda. It was my longest stay on the boat so far and I loved it. Was convinced by a group of friends to go surfing in Cabo this month but count me in for January/February next year. I love the Keys and would really like to explore a bit more than I...

Thanks Tug! Good info. I may replace my helm seat with one of these. Now has anyone actually sat in the Bentley Rivermaster seat? Is it comfy? Ergonomically does it work, with the armrests? Ian or Jackie Grant, any comments are appreciated. Thanks :D

This may very well prove that I am crazy -- asking the question and then answering it myself. But here it goes anyway.... That seat is a Rivermaster (size: small) made by Bentley. That's from Jeff Lindhout. :wink http://www.bentleysmfg.com/river-master/

Very nice boat! I'm still wondering, along with "jamesTXSD", about that helm seat. I'm looking for an upgrade and that looks like it would fit the bill. Any info for us? Thanks. :D

For me it's adventure! A combination of exploring, survival, and taking on the unknown. No matter how well a trip is planned there is always a touch of uncertainty that keeps a captain on his toes. Keeps him focused on water depth, floating debris, rogue waves, directions, and docking. I...

This summer I took 3 boys, each 14 years old, for an overnight trip on our C-Dory. We cruised past the monuments of Washington DC, we took turns driving the boat, we went tubing for a couple of hours, we pulled into a quiet cove and swam and jumped off the roof of the boat over and over, we...

Zep Heavy-Duty Citrus Degreaser -- esp. good for cleaning black streaks on the white fiberglass above the rub rail and the transome well when it gets a greasy film on it. Keeps the white of your boat white. Smells good and is water soluble so it washes right off. :thup

Awesome old photos. That is one fish-catchin dude. Thank God for catch and release or the largemouth bass might be extinct by now. :shock: :D :beer

Way to go! Stick with the winners.......sounds like there are a lot of them right here. :thup :D :D :thup

PS Excellent slide show. :thup :thup :thup

Thanks, D.D. for the low down on what sounds like a great trip. In particular, I've recently been looking for first hand info on boating to Baltimore. My daughter's 21st birthday is coming up and she's an Orioles fan. I'm thinking, boat to Baltimore, go to a baseball game, and eat Italian at...

Family and good friends -- that's what it's all about! Thanks for sharing your good news. :thup :thup :thup

Yamaha 200 HPDI, a V6 two-stroke. Weight is 475 lbs. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/pr ... specs.aspx Sorry, Journey On, your Honda 150 specs do say 478lbs. http://marine.honda.com/Products/modeldetail/BF150 I must have had that inaccurate number in my head from comparing 200hp engines.

Black tip shark, approx 5ft, 100lbs brought to the side of the boat and released. Took about 30 min to land. Five times around the boat. Big Pine Key, Feb 2011.

I bought a 25 Cruiser last fall with a Yamaha 200 HPDI two stroke. I mainly compared it to the Honda 150 four stroke. I always power my boats with the largest motor that it is rated for believing that if I need the power I want to have it. The Yamaha with 50 more HP still weighed 125lbs less...

Jeff, Nice job on the brochure. I suspect it will turn out to be a very good investment. I didn't notice the "29". I was so drawn to that all-time-classic photo of the 22 coming off the big swell. That is the photo that started the ball rolling on my purchase of a C-Dory. And I'm so glad I...

Sure would like to see some photos of those intriguing projects completed. "Bow mounted trolling motor" definitely caught my eye since I've been a bass fisherman for many years. I bet it's easier to manuever your 22 by pulling rather than pushing her thru the water. I'm thinking about an...
